+## v0.29.3
+
+- Try to forward Apple OAuth2 POST redirect user's name so that it can be returned (and eventually assigned) with the success response of the all-in-one auth call ([#7090](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7090)).
+
+- Fixed `RateLimitRule.Audience` code comment ([#7098](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/7098); thanks @iustin05).
+
+- Mocked `syscall.Exec` when building for WASM ([#7116](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/7116); thanks @joas8211).
+    _Note that WASM is not officially supported PocketBase build target and many things may not work as expected._
+
+- Registered missing `$filesystem`, `$mails`, `$template` and `__hooks` bindings in the JSVM migrations ([#7125](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7125)).
+
+- Regenerated JSVM types to include methods from structs with single generic parameter.
+
+- Updated Go dependencies.
+
+
+## v0.29.2
+
+- Bumped min Go GitHub action version to 1.23.12 since it comes with some [minor fixes for the runtime and `database/sql` package](https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=milestone%3AGo1.23.12+label%3ACherryPickApproved).
+
+
+## v0.29.1
+
+- Updated the X/Twitter provider to return the `confirmed_email` field and to use the `x.com` domain ([#7035](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7035)).
+
+- Added Box.com OAuth2 provider ([#7056](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/7056); thanks @blakepatteson).
+
+- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` to 1.38.2 (SQLite 3.50.3).
+
+- Fixed example List API response ([#7049](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/7049); thanks @williamtguerra).
+
+
+## v0.29.0
+
+- Enabled calling the `/auth-refresh` endpoint with nonrenewable tokens.
+    _When used with nonrenewable tokens (e.g. impersonate) the endpoint will simply return the same token with the up-to-date user data associated with it._
+
+- Added the triggered rate rimit rule in the error log `details`.
+
+- Added optional `ServeEvent.Listener` field to initialize a custom network listener (e.g. `unix`) instead of the default `tcp` ([#3233](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/3233)).
+
+- Fixed request data unmarshalization for the `DynamicModel` array/object fields ([#7022](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/7022)).
+
+- Fixed Dashboard page title `-` escaping ([#6982](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6982)).
+
+- Other minor improvements (updated first superuser console text when running with `go run`, clarified trusted IP proxy header label, wrapped the backup restore in a transaction as an extra precaution, updated deps, etc.).
+
+
+## v0.28.4
+
+- Added global JSVM `toBytes()` helper to return the bytes slice representation of a value such as io.Reader or string, _other types are first serialized to Go string_ ([#6935](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6935)).
+
+- Fixed `security.RandomStringByRegex` random distribution ([#6947](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/6947); thanks @yerTools).
+
+- Minor docs and typos fixes.
+
+
+## v0.28.3
+
+- Skip sending empty `Range` header when fetching blobs from S3 ([#6914](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/6914)).
+
+- Updated Go deps and particularly `modernc.org/sqlite` to 1.38.0 (SQLite 3.50.1).
+
+- Bumped GitHub action min Go version to 1.23.10 as it comes with some [minor security `net/http` fixes](https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=milestone%3AGo1.23.10+label%3ACherryPickApproved).
+
+
+## v0.28.2
+
+- Loaded latin-ext charset for the default text fonts ([#6869](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6869)).
+
+- Updated view query CAST regex to properly recognize multiline expressions ([#6860](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/6860); thanks @azat-ismagilov).
+
+- Updated Go and npm dependencies.
+
+
+## v0.28.1
+
+- Fixed `json_each`/`json_array_length` normalizations to properly check for array values ([#6835](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6835)).
+
+
+## v0.28.0
+
+- Write the default response body of `*Request` hooks that are wrapped in a transaction after the related transaction completes to allow propagating the transaction error ([#6462](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6462#discussioncomment-12207818)).
+
+- Updated `app.DB()` to automatically routes raw write SQL statements to the nonconcurrent db pool ([#6689](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6689)).
+    _For the rare cases when it is needed users still have the option to explicitly target the specific pool they want using `app.ConcurrentDB()`/`app.NonconcurrentDB()`._
+
+- ⚠️ Changed the default `json` field max size to 1MB.
+    _Users still have the option to adjust the default limit from the collection field options but keep in mind that storing large strings/blobs in the database is known to cause performance issues and should be avoided when possible._
+
+- ⚠️ Soft-deprecated and replaced `filesystem.System.GetFile(fileKey)` with `filesystem.System.GetReader(fileKey)` to avoid the confusion with `filesystem.File`.
+    _The old method will still continue to work for at least until v0.29.0 but you'll get a console warning to replace it with `GetReader`._
+
+- Added new `filesystem.System.GetReuploadableFile(fileKey, preserveName)` method to return an existing blob as a `*filesystem.File` value ([#6792](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6792)).
+    _This method could be useful in case you want to clone an existing Record file and assign it to a new Record (e.g. in a Record duplicate action)._
+
+- Other minor improvements (updated the GitHub release min Go version to 1.23.9, updated npm and Go deps, etc.)
+
+
+## v0.27.2
+
+- Added workers pool when cascade deleting record files to minimize _"thread exhaustion"_ errors ([#6780](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6780)).
+
+- Updated the `:excerpt` fields modifier to properly account for multibyte characters ([#6778](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6778)).
+
+- Use `rowid` as count column for non-view collections to minimize the need of having the id field in a covering index ([#6739](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6739))
+
+
+## v0.27.1
+
+- Updated example `geoPoint` API preview body data.
+
+- Added JSVM `new GeoPointField({ ... })` constructor.
+
+- Added _partial_ WebP thumbs generation (_the thumbs will be stored as PNG_; [#6744](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/6744)).
+
+- Updated npm dev dependencies.
+
+
+## v0.27.0
+
+- ⚠️ Moved the Create and Manage API rule checks out of the `OnRecordCreateRequest` hook finalizer, **aka. now all CRUD API rules are checked BEFORE triggering their corresponding `*Request` hook**.
+    This was done to minimize the confusion regarding the firing order of the request operations, making it more predictable and consistent with the other record List/View/Update/Delete request actions.
+    It could be a minor breaking change if you are relying on the old behavior and have a Go `tests.ApiScenario` that is testing a Create API rule failure and expect `OnRecordCreateRequest` to be fired. In that case for example you may have to update your test scenario like:
+    ```go
+    tests.ApiScenario{
+        Name:   "Example test that checks a Create API rule failure"
+        Method: http.MethodPost,
+        URL:    "/api/collections/example/records",
+        ...
+        // old:
+        ExpectedEvents:  map[string]int{
+            "*":                     0,
+            "OnRecordCreateRequest": 1,
+        },
+        // new:
+        ExpectedEvents:  map[string]int{"*": 0},
+    }
+    ```
+    If you are having difficulties adjusting your code, feel free to open a [Q&A discussion](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions) with the failing/problematic code sample.
+
+- Added [new `geoPoint` field](https://pocketbase.io/docs/collections/#geopoint) for storing `{"lon":x,"lat":y}` geographic coordinates.
+    In addition, a new [`geoDistance(lonA, lotA, lonB, lotB)` function](htts://pocketbase.io/docs/api-rules-and-filters/#geodistancelona-lata-lonb-latb) was also implemented that could be used to apply an API rule or filter constraint based on the distance (in km) between 2 geo points.
+
+- Updated the `select` field UI to accommodate better larger lists and RTL languages ([#4674](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/4674)).
+
+- Updated the mail attachments auto MIME type detection to use `gabriel-vasile/mimetype` for consistency and broader sniffing signatures support.
+
+- Forced `text/javascript` Content-Type when serving `.js`/`.mjs` collection uploaded files with the `/api/files/...` endpoint ([#6597](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6597)).
+
+- Added second optional JSVM `DateTime` constructor argument for specifying a default timezone as TZ identifier when parsing the date string as alternative to a fixed offset in order to better handle daylight saving time nuances ([#6688](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6688)):
+    ```js
+    // the same as with CET offset: new DateTime("2025-10-26 03:00:00 +01:00")
+    new DateTime("2025-10-26 03:00:00", "Europe/Amsterdam") // 2025-10-26 02:00:00.000Z
+
+    // the same as with CEST offset: new DateTime("2025-10-26 01:00:00 +02:00")
+    new DateTime("2025-10-26 01:00:00", "Europe/Amsterdam") // 2025-10-25 23:00:00.000Z
+    ```
+
+- Soft-deprecated the `$http.send`'s `result.raw` field in favor of `result.body` that contains the response body as plain bytes slice to avoid the discrepancies between Go and the JSVM when casting binary data to string.
+
+- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` to 1.37.0.
+
+- Other minor improvements (_removed the superuser fields from the auth record create/update body examples, allowed programmatically updating the auth record password from the create/update hooks, fixed collections import error response, etc._).
+
+
 ## v0.26.6

@@ -377,7 +543,7 @@ There are a lot of changes but to highlight some of the most notable ones:
 - Admins are now system `_superusers` auth records.
