--------------------
+0.61 (2022-03-23)
+-----------------
 
+In preparation for Datasette 1.0, this release includes two potentially backwards-incompatible changes. Hashed URL mode has been moved to a separate plugin, and the way Datasette generates URLs to databases and tables with special characters in their name such as ``/`` and ``.`` has changed.
+
+Datasette also now requires Python 3.7 or higher.
+
+- URLs within Datasette now use a different encoding scheme for tables or databases that include "special" characters outside of the range of ``a-zA-Z0-9_-``. This scheme is explained here: :ref:`internals_tilde_encoding`. (:issue:`1657`)
 - Removed hashed URL mode from Datasette. The new ``datasette-hashed-urls`` plugin can be used to achieve the same result, see :ref:`performance_hashed_urls` for details. (:issue:`1661`)
 - Databases can now have a custom path within the Datasette instance that is independent of the database name, using the ``db.route`` property. (:issue:`1668`)
-- URLs within Datasette now use a different encoding scheme for tables or databases that include "special" characters outside of the range of ``a-zA-Z0-9_-``. This scheme is explained here: :ref:`internals_tilde_encoding`. (:issue:`1657`)
+- Datasette is now covered by a `Code of Conduct <https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md>`__. (:issue:`1654`)
+- Python 3.6 is no longer supported. (:issue:`1577`)
+- Tests now run against Python 3.11-dev. (:issue:`1621`)
+- New :ref:`datasette.ensure_permissions(actor, permissions) <datasette_ensure_permissions>` internal method for checking multiple permissions at once. (:issue:`1675`)
+- New :ref:`datasette.check_visibility(actor, action, resource=None) <datasette_check_visibilty>` internal method for checking if a user can see a resource that would otherwise be invisible to unauthenticated users. (:issue:`1678`)
 - Table and row HTML pages now include a ``<link rel="alternate" type="application/json+datasette" href="...">`` element and return a ``Link: URL; rel="alternate"; type="application/json+datasette"`` HTTP header pointing to the JSON version of those pages. (:issue:`1533`)
 - ``Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Link`` is now added to the CORS headers, allowing remote JavaScript to access that header.
 - Canned queries are now shown at the top of the database page, directly below the SQL editor. Previously they were shown at the bottom, below the list of tables. (:issue:`1612`)
 - Datasette now has a default favicon. (:issue:`1603`)
 - ``sqlite_stat`` tables are now hidden by default. (:issue:`1587`)
 - SpatiaLite tables ``data_licenses``, ``KNN`` and ``KNN2`` are now hidden by default. (:issue:`1601`)
-- Python 3.6 is no longer supported. (:issue:`1577`)
-- Tests now run against Python 3.11-dev. (:issue:`1621`)
-- Fixed bug where :ref:`custom pages <custom_pages>` did not work on Windows. Thanks, Robert Christie. (:issue:`1545`)
 - SQL query tracing mechanism now works for queries executed in ``asyncio`` sub-tasks, such as those created by ``asyncio.gather()``. (:issue:`1576`)
 - :ref:`internals_tracer` mechanism is now documented.
 - Common Datasette symbols can now be imported directly from the top-level ``datasette`` package, see :ref:`internals_shortcuts`. Those symbols are ``Response``, ``Forbidden``, ``NotFound``, ``hookimpl``, ``actor_matches_allow``. (:issue:`957`)
 - ``/-/versions`` page now returns additional details for libraries used by SpatiaLite. (:issue:`1607`)
 - Documentation now links to the `Datasette Tutorials <https://datasette.io/tutorials>`__.
 - Datasette will now also look for SpatiaLite in ``/opt/homebrew`` - thanks, Dan Peterson. (`#1649 <https://github.com/simonw/datasette/pull/1649>`__)
-- Datasette is now covered by a `Code of Conduct <https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md>`__. (:issue:`1654`)
+- Fixed bug where :ref:`custom pages <custom_pages>` did not work on Windows. Thanks, Robert Christie. (:issue:`1545`)
 - Fixed error caused when a table had a column named ``n``. (:issue:`1228`)
