 - ``extra_css_urls`` and ``extra_js_urls`` hooks now take additional optional parameters, allowing them to be more selective about which pages they apply to. :ref:`Documentation <plugin_hook_extra_css_urls>`.

 - The new ``fts_table`` and ``fts_pk`` metadata settings can now be used to :ref:`explicitly configure full-text search for a table or a view <full_text_search_table_or_view>`, even if that table is not directly coupled to the SQLite FTS feature in the database schema itself.
 - Datasette will now use `pysqlite3 <https://github.com/coleifer/pysqlite3>`__ in place of the standard library ``sqlite3`` module if it has been installed in the current environment. This makes it much easier to run Datasette against a more recent version of SQLite, including the just-released `SQLite 3.25.0 <https://www.sqlite.org/releaselog/3_25_0.html>`__ which adds window function support. More details on how to use this in :issue:`360`
 - New mechanism that allows :ref:`plugin configuration options <plugins_configuration>` to be set using ``metadata.json``.
