Datasette 0.47 and 0.47.1

[simonw]

Just shipped Datasette 0.47, based partly on discussions on this board about how to make installation easier (#921)!

• Datasette now has a GitHub discussions forum for conversations about the project that go beyond just bug reports and issues.
• Datasette can now be installed on macOS using Homebrew! Run brew install simonw/datasette/datasette. See Using Homebrew. (#335)
• Two new commands: datasette install name-of-plugin and datasette uninstall name-of-plugin. These are equivalent to pip install and pip uninstall but automatically run in the same virtual environment as Datasette, so users don't have to figure out where that virtual environment is - useful for installations created using Homebrew or pipx. See Installing plugins. (#925)
• A new command-line option, datasette --get, accepts a path to a URL within the Datasette instance. It will run that request through Datasette (without starting a web server) and print out the repsonse. See datasette --get for an example. (#926)

I'm particularly excited about the Homebrew option. Run brew install simonw/datasette/datasette to get the latest version.

... oops, turns out the sdist release was missing the templates/ which meant the version installed from Homebrew didn't actually work!

I've fixed that now, see simonw/homebrew-datasette#6

0.47.1 is out with the fix for anyone else using the sdist distribution: https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/stable/changelog.html#v0-47-1

And 0.47.2 fixed a bug in the Docker build, so the version on Docker Hub is now the latest version again (it had got stuck on 0.45) https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/stable/changelog.html#v0-47-2
