What changes (features, fixes, breaking changes) are included in datasette-showboat 0.1a2 relative to prior versions?
How does Showboat determine what is “incremental” when publishing updates derived from the exported Markdown?
What remote server types and transport mechanisms are supported for the incremental publish workflow (and what authentication/authorization model is used)?
Is the Markdown export option available via UI only, CLI only, or both, and is it automatable for CI/CD-style workflows?
Is there any direct decision readthrough (operator/product/investor) indicated by the corpus beyond “check the new release”?

A new 0.1a2 release suggests continued iteration and maintenance cadence, which could support a view of active development and improving product maturity, but the summary lacks detail on impact or adoption.
Markdown export positioned for incremental remote publishing hints at a shift toward automatable, artifact-based workflows, potentially expanding usefulness for teams that publish updates regularly, though mechanisms and targets are unspecified.

Release notes for 0.1a2 show substantive features or fixes, and indicate stability or compatibility expectations compared with prior versions.
Documentation clarifies how incremental publishing is determined and lists supported remote server types, transports, and authentication.
Evidence of adoption such as user reports, examples, or automation guidance showing Markdown export used in repeatable workflows.

0.1a2 changes are minimal, revert features, or introduce breaking changes that reduce usability or slow adoption.
Incremental publish workflow is unclear, manual, or unreliable, or supports only narrow remote targets without a viable auth model.
Markdown export is not automatable or is restricted in a way that limits practical use for continuous publishing workflows.
