Description

I just realized that when I ship Datasette 1.0 there may be automated deployments out there which could deploy the 1.0 version by accident, potentially breaking any customizations that aren't compatible with the 1.0 changes.

I can hopefully help avoid that by shipping one last entry in the 0.x series that ensures datasette publish pins to <1.0 when it installs Datasette itself.

Research direction

Start by locating the implementation of the datasette publish command and the path where it installs Datasette itself. Check how the 0.x release determines that dependency version, then verify that published deployments install a version below 1.0 without affecting other installation behavior.
