0.18 (2018-04-14)
-----------------
This release introduces `support for units <http://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/latest/metadata.html#specifying-units-for-a-column>`_,
contributed by Russ Garrett (`#203 <https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/203>`_).
You can now optionally specify the units for specific columns using ``metadata.json``.
Once specified, units will be displayed in the HTML view of your table. They also become
available for use in filters - if a column is configured with a unit of distance, you can
request all rows where that column is less than 50 meters or more than 20 feet for example.
- Link foreign keys which don't have labels. [Russ Garrett]
This renders unlabeled FKs as simple links.
Also includes bonus fixes for two minor issues:
* In foreign key link hrefs the primary key was escaped using HTML
escaping rather than URL escaping. This broke some non-integer PKs.
* Print tracebacks to console when handling 500 errors.
- Fix SQLite error when loading rows with no incoming FKs. [Russ
Garrett]
This fixes ``ERROR: conn=<sqlite3.Connection object at 0x10bbb9f10>, sql
= 'select ', params = {'id': '1'}`` caused by an invalid query when
loading incoming FKs.
The error was ignored due to async but it still got printed to the
console.
- Allow custom units to be registered with Pint. [Russ Garrett]
- Support units in filters. [Russ Garrett]
- Tidy up units support. [Russ Garrett]
* Add units to exported JSON
* Units key in metadata skeleton
