Release datasette-leaflet 0.3 — Datasette plugin adding the Leaflet JavaScript library

OpenStreetMap have a very reasonable policy that hits to their hosted tile server should send a referrer header. Datasette table pages used the Referrer-Policy: no-referrer HTTP header, causing plugins that loaded tiles from OpenStreetMap to violate that policy.

datasette-leaflet is the plugin that loads a bundled Leaflet so other Datasette plugins can depend on it. It now sets the referrer policy on the tile requests themselves to strict-origin-when-cross-origin, passing the host but not the full path to the page.

This is a beat by Simon Willison, posted on 13th November 2026.
