It required new thinking around how Datasette should calculate table counts (an expensive operation against a large, changing database) and also meant reconsidering the "content hash" URLs Datasette has used in the past to optimize the performance of HTTP caches.
 
 Datasette can still run against immutable files and gains numerous performance benefits from doing so, but this is no longer the default behaviour. Take a look at the new :ref:`performance` documentation section for details on how to make the most of Datasette against data that you know will be staying read-only and immutable.

 Datasette :ref:`facets` provide an intuitive way to quickly summarize and interact with data. Previously the only supported faceting technique was column faceting, but 0.28 introduces two powerful new capabilities: facet-by-JSON-array and the ability to define further facet types using plugins.
 
-Facet by array (`#359 <https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/359>`__) is only available if your SQLite installation provides the ``json1`` extension. Datasette will automatically detect columns that contain JSON arrays of values and offer a faceting interface against those columns - useful for modelling things like tags without needing to break them out into a new table. See :ref:`facet_by_json_array` for more.

 The new :ref:`plugin_register_facet_classes` plugin hook (`#445 <https://github.com/simonw/datasette/pull/445>`__) can be used to register additional custom facet classes. Each facet class should provide two methods: ``suggest()`` which suggests facet selections that might be appropriate for a provided SQL query, and ``facet_results()`` which executes a facet operation and returns results. Datasette's own faceting implementations have been refactored to use the same API as these plugins.
