**Release:** [datasette 1.0a41](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/releases/tag/1.0a41)

Alec Garcia added [support for OpenTelemetry](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/internals.html#internals-telemetry) to Datasette in this release.

I've also refactored all of Datasette's modal dialogs to a single Web Component, which is now [documented for other plugins to use](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/javascript_plugins.html#javascript-plugins-modals).
