Same security fix as 0.65.5, plus some neat new features and bug fixes:
- Plugins can now launch and manage background tasks using the new datasette.add_background_task() method. Thanks, Alex Garcia.
- I've migrated Datasette to httpx2 for features like the internal
datasette.client.get()method. - A whole lot of bug fixes, many of them stemming from a recent effort to triage issues for a 1.0 stable release.
