CHANGELOG.md

@@ -1,3 +1,415 @@
+## v0.14.1
+
+- Fixed realtime events firing before the files upload completion.
+
+- Updated the underlying S3 lib to use `aws-sdk-go-v2` ([#1346](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/1346); thanks @yuxiang-gao).
+
+- Updated TinyMCE to v6.4.1.
+
+- Updated the godoc of `Dao.Save*` methods.
+
+
+## v0.14.0
+
+- Added _experimental_ Apple OAuth2 integration.
+
+- Added `@request.headers.*` filter rule support.
+
+- Added support for advanced unique constraints and indexes management ([#345](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/345), [#544](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/544))
+
+- Simplified the collections fields UI to allow easier and quicker scaffolding of the data schema.
+
+- Deprecated `SchemaField.Unique`. Unique constraints are now managed via indexes.
+  The `Unique` field is a no-op and will be removed in future version.
+
+- Removed the `COALESCE` wrapping from some of the generated filter conditions to make better use of the indexes ([#1939](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1939)).
+
+- Detect `id` aliased view columns as single `relation` fields ([#2029](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/2029)).
+
+- Optimized single relation lookups.
+
+- Normalized record values on `maxSelect` field option change (`select`, `file`, `relation`).
+  When changing **from single to multiple** all already inserted single values are converted to an array.
+  When changing **from multiple to single** only the last item of the already inserted array items is kept.
+
+- Changed the cost/round factor of bcrypt hash generation from 13 to 12 since several users complained about the slow authWithPassword responses on lower spec hardware.
+  _The change will affect only new users. Depending on the demand, we might make it configurable from the auth options._
+
+- Simplified the default mail template styles to allow more control over the template layout ([#1904](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1904)).
+
+- Added option to explicitly set the record id from the Admin UI ([#2118](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/2118)).
+
+- Added `migrate history-sync` command to clean `_migrations` history table from deleted migration files references.
+
+- Added new fields to the `core.RecordAuthWithOAuth2Event` struct:
+    ```
+    IsNewRecord     bool,          // boolean field indicating whether the OAuth2 action created a new auth record
+    ProviderName    string,        // the name of the OAuth2 provider (eg. "google")
+    ProviderClient  auth.Provider, // the loaded Provider client instance
+    ```
+
+- Added CGO linux target for the prebuilt executable.
+
+- **!** Renamed `daos.GetTableColumns()` to `daos.TableColumns()` for consistency with the other Dao table related helpers.
+
+- **!** Renamed `daos.GetTableInfo()` to `daos.TableInfo()` for consistency with the other Dao table related helpers.
+
+- **!** Changed `types.JsonArray` to support specifying a generic type, aka. `types.JsonArray[T]`.
+  If you have previously used `types.JsonArray`, you'll have to update it to `types.JsonArray[any]`.
+
+- **!** Registered the `RemoveTrailingSlash` middleware only for the `/api/*` routes since it is causing issues with subpath file serving endpoints ([#2072](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/2072)).
+
+- **!** Changed the request logs `method` value to UPPERCASE, eg. "get" => "GET" ([#1956](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/1956)).
+
+- Other minor UI improvements.
+
+
+## v0.13.4
+
+- Removed eager unique collection name check to support lazy validation during bulk import.
+
+
+## v0.13.3
+
+- Fixed view collections import ([#2044](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/2044)).
+
+- Updated the records picker Admin UI to show properly view collection relations.
+
+
+## v0.13.2
+
+- Fixed Admin UI js error when selecting multiple `file` field as `relation` "Display fields" ([#1989](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1989)).
+
+
+## v0.13.1
+
+- Added `HEAD` request method support for the `/api/files/:collection/:recordId/:filename` route ([#1976](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/1976)).
+
+
+## v0.13.0
+
+- Added new "View" collection type allowing you to create a read-only collection from a custom SQL `SELECT` statement. It supports:
+  - aggregations (`COUNT()`, `MIN()`, `MAX()`, `GROUP BY`, etc.)
+  - column and table aliases
+  - CTEs and subquery expressions
+  - auto `relation` fields association
+  - `file` fields proxying (up to 5 linked relations, eg. view1->view2->...->base)
+  - `filter`, `sort` and `expand`
+  - List and View API rules
+
+- Added auto fail/retry (default to 8 attempts) for the `SELECT` queries to gracefully handle the `database is locked` errors ([#1795](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/1795#discussioncomment-4882169)).
+  _The default max attempts can be accessed or changed via `Dao.MaxLockRetries`._
+
+- Added default max query execution timeout (30s).
+  _The default timeout can be accessed or changed via `Dao.ModelQueryTimeout`._
+  _For the prebuilt executables it can be also changed via the `--queryTimeout=10` flag._
+
+- Added support for `dao.RecordQuery(collection)` to scan directly the `One()` and `All()` results in `*models.Record` or `[]*models.Record` without the need of explicit `NullStringMap`.
+
+- Added support to overwrite the default file serve headers if an explicit response header is set.
+
+- Added file thumbs when visualizing `relation` display file fields.
+
+- Added "Min select" `relation` field option.
+
+- Enabled `process.env` in JS migrations to allow accessing `os.Environ()`.
+
+- Added `UploadedFiles` field to the `RecordCreateEvent` and `RecordUpdateEvent` event structs.
+
+- **!** Moved file upload after the record persistent to allow setting custom record id safely from the `OnModelBeforeCreate` hook.
+
+- **!** Changed `System.GetFile()` to return directly `*blob.Reader` instead of the `io.ReadCloser` interface.
+
+- **!** Changed `To`, `Cc` and `Bcc` of `mailer.Message` to `[]mail.Address` for consistency and to allow multiple recipients and optional name.
+
+    If you are sending custom emails, you'll have to replace:
+    ```go
+    message := &mailer.Message{
+      ...
+
+      // (old) To: mail.Address{Address: "to@example.com"}
+      To: []mail.Address{{Address: "to@example.com", Name: "Some optional name"}},
+
+      // (old) Cc: []string{"cc@example.com"}
+      Cc: []mail.Address{{Address: "cc@example.com", Name: "Some optional name"}},
+
+      // (old) Bcc: []string{"bcc@example.com"}
+      Bcc: []mail.Address{{Address: "bcc@example.com", Name: "Some optional name"}},
+
+      ...
+    }
+    ```
+
+- **!** Refactored the Authentik integration as a more generic "OpenID Connect" provider (`oidc`) to support any OIDC provider (Okta, Keycloak, etc.).
+  _If you've previously used Authentik, make sure to rename the provider key in your code to `oidc`._
+  _To enable more than one OIDC provider you can use the additional `oidc2` and `oidc3` provider keys._
+
+- **!** Removed the previously deprecated `Dao.Block()` and `Dao.Continue()` helpers in favor of `Dao.NonconcurrentDB()`.
+
+- Updated the internal redirects to allow easier subpath deployment when behind a reverse proxy.
+
+- Other minor Admin UI improvements.
+
+
+## v0.12.3
+
+- Fixed "Toggle column" reactivity when navigating between collections ([#1836](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/1836)).
+
+- Logged the current datetime on server start ([#1822](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1822)).
+
+
+## v0.12.2
+
+- Fixed the "Clear" button of the datepicker component not clearing the value ([#1730](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/1730)).
+
+- Increased slightly the fields contrast ([#1742](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1742)).
+
+- Auto close the multi-select dropdown if "Max select" is reached.
+
+
+## v0.12.1
+
+- Fixed js error on empty relation save.
+
+- Fixed `overlay-active` css class not being removed on nested overlay panel close ([#1718](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1718)).
+
+- Added the collection name in the page title ([#1711](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1711)).
+
+
+## v0.12.0
+
+- Refactored the relation picker UI to allow server-side search, sort, create, update and delete of relation records ([#976](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/976)).
+
+- Added new `RelationOptions.DisplayFields` option to specify custom relation field(s) visualization in the Admin UI.
+
+- Added Authentik OAuth2 provider ([#1377](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/1377); thanks @pr0ton11).
+
+- Added LiveChat OAuth2 provider ([#1573](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/1573); thanks @mariosant).
+
+- Added Gitea OAuth2 provider ([#1643](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/1643); thanks @hlanderdev).
+
+- Added PDF file previews ([#1548](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/1548); thanks @mjadobson).
+
+- Added video and audio file previews.
+
+- Added rich text editor (`editor`) field for HTML content based on TinyMCE ([#370](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/370)).
+  _Currently the new field doesn't have any configuration options or validations but this may change in the future depending on how devs ended up using it._
+
+- Added "Duplicate" Collection and Record options in the Admin UI ([#1656](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1656)).
+
+- Added `filesystem.GetFile()` helper to read files through the FileSystem abstraction ([#1578](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/1578); thanks @avarabyeu).
+
+- Added new auth event hooks for finer control and more advanced auth scenarios handling:
+
+  ```go
+  // auth record
+  OnRecordBeforeAuthWithPasswordRequest()
+  OnRecordAfterAuthWithPasswordRequest()
+  OnRecordBeforeAuthWithOAuth2Request()
+  OnRecordAfterAuthWithOAuth2Request()
+  OnRecordBeforeAuthRefreshRequest()
+  OnRecordAfterAuthRefreshRequest()
+
+  // admin
+  OnAdminBeforeAuthWithPasswordRequest()
+  OnAdminAfterAuthWithPasswordRequest()
+  OnAdminBeforeAuthRefreshRequest()
+  OnAdminAfterAuthRefreshRequest()
+  OnAdminBeforeRequestPasswordResetRequest()
+  OnAdminAfterRequestPasswordResetRequest()
+  OnAdminBeforeConfirmPasswordResetRequest()
+  OnAdminAfterConfirmPasswordResetRequest()
+  ```
+
+- Added `models.Record.CleanCopy()` helper that creates a new record copy with only the latest data state of the existing one and all other options reset to their defaults.
+
+- Added new helper `apis.RecordAuthResponse(app, httpContext, record, meta)` to return a standard Record auth API response ([#1623](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1623)).
+
+- Refactored `models.Record` expand and data change operations to be concurrent safe.
+
+- Refactored all `forms` Submit interceptors to use a generic data type as their payload.
+
+- Added several `store.Store` helpers:
+  ```go
+  store.Reset(newData map[string]T)
+  store.Length() int
+  store.GetAll() map[string]T
+  ```
+
+- Added "tags" support for all Record and Model related event hooks.
+
+    The "tags" allow registering event handlers that will be called only on matching table name(s) or colleciton id(s)/name(s).
+    For example:
+    ```go
+    app.OnRecordBeforeCreateRequest("articles").Add(func(e *core.RecordCreateEvent) error {
+      // called only on "articles" record creation
+      log.Println(e.Record)
+      return nil
+    })
+    ```
+    For all those event hooks `*hook.Hook` was replaced with `*hooks.TaggedHook`, but the hook methods signatures are the same so it should behave as it was previously if no tags were specified.
+
+- **!** Fixed the `json` field **string** value normalization ([#1703](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1703)).
+
+    In order to support seamlessly both `application/json` and `multipart/form-data`
+    requests, the following normalization rules are applied if the `json` field is a
+    **plain string value**:
+
+    - "true" is converted to the json `true`
+    - "false" is converted to the json `false`
+    - "null" is converted to the json `null`
+    - "[1,2,3]" is converted to the json `[1,2,3]`
+    - "{\"a\":1,\"b\":2}" is converted to the json `{"a":1,"b":2}`
+    - numeric strings are converted to json number
+    - double quoted strings are left as they are (aka. without normalizations)
+    - any other string (empty string too) is double quoted
+
+    Additionally, the "Nonempty" `json` field constraint now checks for `null`, `[]`, `{}` and `""` (empty string).
+
+- Added `aria-label` to some of the buttons in the Admin UI for better accessibility ([#1702](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/1702); thanks @ndarilek).
+
+- Updated the filename extension checks in the Admin UI to be case-insensitive ([#1707](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/1707); thanks @hungcrush).
+
+- Other minor improvements (more detailed API file upload errors, UI optimizations, docs improvements, etc.)
+
+
+## v0.11.4
+
+- Fixed cascade delete for rel records with the same id as the main record ([#1689](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1689)).
+
+
+## v0.11.3
+
+- Fix realtime API panic on concurrent clients iteration ([#1628](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1628))
+
+  - `app.SubscriptionsBroker().Clients()` now returns a shallow copy of the underlying map.
+
+  - Added `Discard()` and `IsDiscarded()` helper methods to the `subscriptions.Client` interface.
+
+  - Slow clients should no longer "block" the main action completion.
+
+
+## v0.11.2
+
+- Fixed `fs.DeleteByPrefix()` hang on invalid S3 settings ([#1575](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/1575#discussioncomment-4661089)).
+
+- Updated file(s) delete to run in the background on record/collection delete to avoid blocking the delete model transaction.
+  _Currently the cascade files delete operation is treated as "non-critical" and in case of an error it is just logged during debug._
+  _This will be improved in the near future with the planned async job queue implementation._
+
+
+## v0.11.1
+
+- Unescaped path parameter values ([#1552](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1552)).
+
+
+## v0.11.0
+
+- Added `+` and `-` body field modifiers for `number`, `files`, `select` and `relation` fields.
+  ```js
+  {
+    // oldValue + 2
+    "someNumber+": 2,
+
+    // oldValue + ["id1", "id2"] - ["id3"]
+    "someRelation+": ["id1", "id2"],
+    "someRelation-": ["id3"],
+
+    // delete single file by its name (file fields supports only the "-" modifier!)
+    "someFile-": "filename.png",
+  }
+  ```
+  _Note1: `@request.data.someField` will contain the final resolved value._
+
+  _Note2: The old index (`"field.0":null`) and filename (`"field.filename.png":null`) based suffixed syntax for deleting files is still supported._
+
+- ! Added support for multi-match/match-all request data and collection multi-valued fields (`select`, `relation`) conditions.
+  If you want a "at least one of" type of condition, you can prefix the operator with `?`.
+  ```js
+  // for each someRelA.someRelB record require the "status" field to be "active"
+  someRelA.someRelB.status = "active"
+
+  // OR for "at least one of" condition
+  someRelA.someRelB.status ?= "active"
+  ```
+  _**Note: Previously the behavior for multi-valued fields was as the "at least one of" type.
+  The release comes with system db migration that will update your existing API rules (if needed) to preserve the compatibility.
+  If you have multi-select or multi-relation filter checks in your client-side code and want to preserve the old behavior, you'll have to prefix with `?` your operators.**_
+
+- Added support for querying `@request.data.someRelField.*` relation fields.
+  ```js
+  // example submitted data: {"someRel": "REL_RECORD_ID"}
+  @request.data.someRel.status = "active"
+  ```
+
+- Added `:isset` modifier for the static request data fields.
+  ```js
+  // prevent changing the "role" field
+  @request.data.role:isset = false
+  ```
+
+- Added `:length` modifier for the arrayable request data and collection fields (`select`, `file`, `relation`).
+  ```js
+  // example submitted data: {"someSelectField": ["val1", "val2"]}
+  @request.data.someSelectField:length = 2
+
+  // check existing record field length
+  someSelectField:length = 2
+  ```
+
+- Added `:each` modifier support for the multi-`select` request data and collection field.
+  ```js
+  // check if all selected rows has "pb_" prefix
+  roles:each ~ 'pb_%'
+  ```
+
+- Improved the Admin UI filters autocomplete.
+
+- Added `@random` sort key for `RANDOM()` sorted list results.
+
+- Added Strava OAuth2 provider ([#1443](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/1443); thanks @szsascha).
+
+- Added Gitee OAuth2 provider ([#1448](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/1448); thanks @yuxiang-gao).
+
+- Added IME status check to the textarea keydown handler ([#1370](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/1370); thanks @tenthree).
+
+- Added `filesystem.NewFileFromBytes()` helper ([#1420](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/1420); thanks @dschissler).
+
+- Added support for reordering uploaded multiple files.
+
+- Added `webp` to the default images mime type presets list ([#1469](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/1469); thanks @khairulhaaziq).
+
+- Added the OAuth2 refresh token to the auth meta response ([#1487](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1487)).
+
+- Fixed the text wrapping in the Admin UI listing searchbar ([#1416](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1416)).
+
+- Fixed number field value output in the records listing ([#1447](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1447)).
+
+- Fixed duplicated settings view pages caused by uncompleted transitions ([#1498](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1498)).
+
+- Allowed sending `Authorization` header with the `/auth-with-password` record and admin login requests ([#1494](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/1494)).
+
+- `migrate down` now reverts migrations in the applied order.
+
+- Added additional list-bucket check in the S3 config test API.
+
+- Other minor improvements.
+
+
+## v0.10.4
+
+- Fixed `Record.MergeExpand` panic when the main model expand map is not initialized ([#1365](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1365)).
+
+
+## v0.10.3
+
+- ! Renamed the metadata key `original_filename` to `original-filename` due to an S3 file upload error caused by the underscore character ([#1343](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/1343); thanks @yuxiang-gao).
+
+- Fixed request verification docs api url ([#1332](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/1332); thanks @JoyMajumdar2001)
+
+- Excluded `collectionId` and `collectionName` from the displayable relation props list ([1322](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1322); thanks @dhall2).
+
+
 ## v0.10.2
 
 - Fixed nested multiple expands with shared path ([#586](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/586#issuecomment-1357784227)).
