🥳 JavaScript Database (JSDB)¹ version 7.0.0 released

- *Breaking change* JSTable.PERSIST event now uses a parameter object with properties for `type`, `keypath`, `value`, `change`, and `table`. This should make listening for events on your databases much nicer to author. e.g., a snippet from Catalyst² I’m working on:

```js
const settingsTable = db.settings['__table__']
const JSTable = settingsTable.constructor

settingsTable.addListener(JSTable.PERSIST, ({ keypath, value }) => {
switch (keypath) {
case 'servers.serverPoolSize':
console.info('New server pool size requested', value)
this.updateServerPool()
break
// etc.
}
})
```

This new version of JSDB is not in the latest Kitten³ yet as it is a breaking change and I want to make sure I update my sites/apps first if needed. I should have it integrated tomorrow.

To see the simple use case for JSDB in Kitten (the default untyped database that’s easy to get started with and perfect for quick experiments, little sites, etc.), see: https://kitten.small-web.org/tutorials/persistence/

For a more advanced tutorial for creating your own typed databases in Kitten, see the Database App Modules tutorial: https://kitten.small-web.org/tutorials/database-app-modules/

For another example, see: https://codeberg.org/small-tech/jsdb/#table-events

Yay, first shot of Auto Encrypt¹ running a HTTPS web server at a Web Number (IP address).

Next step: find out why some of the tests are failing on the Linux box, fix, and implement Web Numbers support in Kitten² and Catalyst³.

I am in a very gradual migration to self hosted NextCloud. I have played with it for years and it is the system where I work at #Catalyst-EU who are very much a FLOSS organisation.
