+Some endpoints, like the user create/register, can be used for usernames or emails enumeration based on various response heuristics - timing, specific error messages, etc.
+
+In many places where applicable we've tried to minimize the impact by using constant time checks, returning non-descriptive error messages, applying an internal rate limit for some operations, etc. but it is not bulletproof and if somebody wants to find out if a user is registered they will be able to do it one way or another.

+This is another very common report but **there is no such thing as JSVM "sandboxing" in PocketBase**.

+Once interpreted the `pb_hooks` run as part of the same application process together with the rest of the Go code. There are no additional filesystem, network, memory, etc. restrictions. This means that it is OK for developers to be able to access environment variables, perform network calls to any URLs they want, invoke shell commands or even sleep/block the script execution.
+
+So if you are security researcher and not sure if something is a security fault in the JS hooks, ask yourself - "Can I do the same when using PocketBase as Go framework?" and if the answer is "Yes" then it is not a security issue with the JSVM.

-## v0.36.7
+## v0.40.5 (WIP)
 
-- Fixed high memory usage with large file uploads ([#7572](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/7572)).
+- Minor improvements for the JSVM migration error handling:
+    - Included the recovered panic stack trace of `routine.SafeWrap` in the returned error (max 2KB).
+    - Wrap the individual `up`/`down` JSVM migration arguments in `routine.SafeWrap` so that in case of panic we can still print the failed js migration filename.
 
-- Updated the rate limiter reset rules to follow a more traditional fixed window strategy _(aka. to be more close to how it is presented in the UI - allow max X user requests under Ys)_ since several users complained that the older algorithm was not intuitive and not suitable for large intervals.
-    _Approximated sliding window strategy was also suggested as a better compromise option to help minimize traffic spikes right after reset but the additional tracking could introduce some overhead and for now it is left aside until we have more tests._
+- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` to 1.59.0 _(minor performance improvement by switching to Go's `memmove`)_.
 
-- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` to v1.46.2 and SQLite 3.51.3.
-    _⚠️ SQLite 3.51.3 fixed a [database corruption bug](https://sqlite.org/wal.html#walresetbug) that is very unlikely to happen (with PocketBase even more so because we queue on app level all writes and explicit transactions through a single db connection), but still it is advised to upgrade._
+- Other minor fixes (godoc typos, normalize negative jsvm pool size, etc.).
 
-- Updated other minor Go and npm deps.
-    _The min Go version in the go.mod of the package was also bumped to Go 1.25.0 because some of the newer dep versions require it._
 
+## v0.40.4
 
-## v0.36.6
+- Fixed migration deadlock if a logs db write happens to run while the migration is still executing ([#7836](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7836)).
 
-- Set `NumberField.OnlyInt:true` for the generated View collection schema fields when a view column expression is known to return int-only values ([#7538](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7538)).
+- `app.ResetBootstrapState()` was soft-deprecated in favour of `app.ClearBootstrap()`.
+    _Additionally a new `app.OnBootstrapClear()` hook was added to allow clearing custom allocated `OnBootstrap` resources in case the app uses a non-standard initialization (e.g. doesn't call `Start()` or intentionally skip the `OnTerminate` hook)._
 
-- Documented the `unmarshal` JSVM helper ([#7543](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7543)).
+- Bumped `golang.org/x/*` dependencies.
 
-- Added extra read check after the `Store.GetOrSet` write lock to prevent races overwriting an already existing value.
 
-- Added empty records check for the additional client-side filter's ListRule constraint that was introduced in v0.32.0 ([presentator#206](https://github.com/presentator/presentator/issues/206)).
+## v0.40.3
 
-- Set a fixed `routine.FireAndForget()` debug stack trace limit to 2KB.
+- Write the status header for JSON responses only if the fields picker succeed or has acceptable fallback.
+    _This is to allow custom response status code for failed json writes._
 
-- Bumped min Go GitHub action version to 1.26.1 because it comes with some [minor bug and security fixes](https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=milestone%3AGo1.26.1).
+- Fixed collection index validator to allow expressions with parenthesis in the optional `WHERE` clause.
 
-- Typos and other minor doc fixes.
+- Clamped arccosine to [-1,1] in the Harvesine formula for the `geoDistance()` filter function to workaround edge case related to float rounding errors for some coordinates.
 
+- Prevent unnecessary body chunk read if we already known that we are beyond the allowed limit.
 
-## v0.36.5
+- Updated the `json` field validator to check the `encoding/json/v2` semantics and allow duplicated keys on record marshalize for compliance with old jsonv1 data.
 
-- Disabled collection and fields name normalization while in IME mode ([#7532](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/7532); thanks @miaopan607).
+- Fixed nested cascade delete of self-referenced relation records.
 
-- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` to v1.46.1 _(resets connection state on Tx.Commit failure)_.
+- Minor UI fixes (updated dark primary btn color contrast, force reload the records list if the deleted record has self-referenced cascade relation field, etc.).
 
+- Changed JSVM `$app` variable definition from TS type to interface ([#7834](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7834)).
 
-## v0.36.4
+- Bumped `golang.org/x/*` dependencies to silence security scanners ([#7829](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/7829)).
 
-- Made the optional `Bearer` token prefix case-insensitive ([#7525](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/7525); thanks @benjamesfleming).
 
-- Enabled `$filesystem.s3(...)` and `$filesystem.local(...)` JSVM bindings ([#7526](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7526)).
+## v0.40.2
 
+- Return an error when filter params fallback fails to json serialize and optimized params replacement to execute in a single pass.
 
-## v0.36.3
+- Fixed collection index parsing error for indexes with missing name.
 
-- Added `Accept-Encoding: identity` to the S3 requests per the suggestion in [#7523](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7523).
-    _This should help fixing the 0-bytes file response when S3 API compression is enabled._
+- Minor UI autocomplete optimizations _(prefix match, autocomplete debounce, etc.)_.
 
-- Bumped min Go GitHub action version to 1.26.0 _(it comes with minor [GC performance improvements](https://go.dev/doc/go1.26#runtime))_.
+- Fixed linter warnings and comment typos.
 
-- Other minor fixes _(updated `modernc.org/sqlite` to v1.45.0, updated `goja_nodejs` adding `Buffer.concat`, updated the arguments of `app.DeleteTable(...)`, `app.DeleteView(...)` and other similar methods to make it more clear that they are dangerous and shouldn't be used with untrusted input, etc.)_.
+- Bumped goja and its related dependencies _(regex unescaped dash error fix and base64 optimizations)_.
 
+- Bumped the min Go GitHub action version to 1.27.1 as it includes some [minor `database/sql` and `enconding/json/v2` bug fixes](https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=milestone%3AGo1.27.1).
 
-## v0.36.2
 
-- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` to v1.44.3 _(race check fix)_, `goja` _(circular references fix)_ and other go deps.
+## v0.40.1
 
-- Other minor fixes _(updated tests to silence some of the race detector errors, updated `FindFirstRecordByData` with more clear error message when missing or invalid key is used, etc.)_.
+- Fixes for some reported regressions related to the `encoding/json/v2` update:
+    - allow mangling invalid UTF8 characters when serializing json data ([#7814](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7814))
+    - fixed OAuth2 providers config merge incorrectly replacing the entire slice ([#7815](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7815))
 
 
-## v0.36.1
+## v0.40.0
 
-- Reverted the `DISTINCT` with `GROUP BY` replacement optimization from v0.36.0 as it was reported to negatively impact the indexes utilization for some queries
-and the minor performance boost that you may get when used on large records is not enough to justify the more common use ([#7461](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/7461)).
-    _A better generic deduplication optimization for large records (aka. records with large `text`/`json` fields or many small ones) will be researched but there are no ETAs._
+- Propagate console command errors and recovered panics to `app.Start()` so that the program can exit with non-zero code while still ensuring that `app.OnTerminate` hook was triggered _(responsible for the app graceful shutdown handling)_.
+    _⚠️ Note that this could be a slight breaking change in case you are chaining PocketBase commands and relied on the previous `0` exit status for `Command.RunE` returned errors._
+    _Or in other words, if you have `./pocketbase invalid && someothercommand` and previously relied that `someothercommand` will be always executed then this is no longer the case and you'll have to adjust it or replace `&&` with `;`._
 
-- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` to v1.44.2 _(SQLite 3.51.2)_.
+- Added quotes around the default `Content-Disposition` serving filename in case custom name with special characters is provided.
 
-- Fixed code comment typos.
+- Added `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy:same-origin` to the default security response headers.
+    _This is an extra precaution to prevent tab-nabbing in case custom UI plugins use `target="_blank"` without `rel="noopener"`._
 
+- Added `Record.GetInt64(field)` helper (note that the serializable max safe integer of the `number` field is ~2^53-1).
 
-## v0.36.0
+- Added `Store.Keys()` method that returns a slice with all of the store keys.
 
-- List query and API rules optimizations:
-    - Removed unnecessary correlated subquery expression when using back-relations via single `relation` field.
-    - Replaced `DISTINCT` with `GROUP BY id` when rows deduplication is needed and when deemed safe.
-        _This should help with having a more stable and predictable performance even if the collection records are on the larger side._
+- Added new `DELETE /api/logs` endpoint and UI control to delete all logs without changing the `maxDays` retention setting.
 
-    For some queries and data sets the above 2 optimizations have shown significant improvements but if you notice a performance degradation after upgrading,
-    please open a Q&A discussion with export of your collections structure and the problematic request so that it can be analyzed.
+- Added new log settings option to limit the max `Log.Data` size that will be saved in the database (default to ~16KB).
+    _This is an extra precaution for the cases when logging user supplied data without validating it beforehand._
+    _If the resulting `Log.Data` json is above the limit, it is truncated to the last valid decoded character and an extra `"__pb_truncated__":true` log data entry will be added.`_
+    _Additionally, for just in case the log message is also truncated at max 8k characters._
 
-- Added [`strftime(format, timevalue, modifiers...)`](https://pocketbase.io/docs/api-rules-and-filters/#strftimeformat-time-value-modifiers-) date formatting filter and API rules function.
-    It works similarly to the [SQLite `strftime` builtin function](https://sqlite.org/lang_datefunc.html)
-    with the main difference that NULL results will be normalized for consistency with the non-nullable PocketBase `text` and `date` fields.
-    Multi-match expressions are also supported and works the same as if the collection field is referenced, for example:
-    ```js
-    // requires ANY/AT-LEAST-ONE-OF multiRel records to have "created" date matching the formatted string "2026-01"
-    strftime('%Y-%m', multiRel.created) ?= '2026-01'
+- Added new `filesystem` low-level helper methods:
+    - `filesystem.NewWriter(key, opts)` to allow direct file create from an `io.Reader` value.
+    - `filesystem.OnNewWriter()` hook to allow listening for new/to-be-created files _(it is not exposed in `core.App` instance for now to avoid introducing breaking changes)_.
+    - `filesystem.OnDelete()` hook to allow listening for deleted files _(it is not exposed in `core.App` instance for now to avoid introducing breaking changes)_.
 
-    // requires ALL multiRel records to have "created" date matching the formatted string "2026-01"
-    strftime('%Y-%m', multiRel.created) = '2026-01'
-    ```
+- Optimized backups to no longer transaction lock the database during backup generation ([#7799](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/7799#discussioncomment-18108244)).
 
-- ⚠️ Minor changes to the `search.ResolverResult` struct _(mostly used internally)_:
-    - Replaced `NoCoalesce` field with the more explicit `NullFallback` _(`NullFallbackDisabled` is the same as `NoCoalesce:true`)_.
-    - Replaced the expression interface of the `MultiMatchSubQuery` field with the concrete struct type `search.MultiMatchSubquery` to avoid excessive type assertions and allow direct mutations of the field.
+- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` to 1.57.0 and registered by default the new `_defensive=1` DSN query parameter to enable [SQLite's defensive mode](https://sqlite.org/c3ref/c_dbconfig_defensive.html#sqlitedbconfigdefensive).
 
-- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` to v1.44.1 _(SQLite 3.51.1)_.

-
-- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` to v1.43.0 _(query cancellation race fix)_.
-
-- Other minor UI fixes (normalized relations picker selection and confirmation message when `maxSelect=0/1`, updated node deps).
-
-
-## v0.35.0
-
-- Added `nullString()`, `nullInt()`, `nullFloat()`, `nullBool`, `nullArray()`, `nullObject()` JSVM helpers for scanning nullable columns ([#7396](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7396)).
-
-- Store the correct `image/png` as attrs content type when generating a thumb fallback _(e.g. for `webp`)_.
-
-- Trimmed custom uploaded file name and extension from leftover `.` characters after `filesystem.File` normalization.
-    _This was done to prevent issues with external files sync programs that may have special handling for "invisible" files._
-
-- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` _(v1.41.0 includes prepared statements optimization)_ and other minor Go deps.
-
-
-## v0.34.2
-
-- Bumped JS SDK to v0.26.5 to fix Safari AbortError detection introduced with the previous release ([#7369](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7369)).
-
-
-## v0.34.1
-
-- Added missing `:` char to the autocomplete regex ([#7353](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/7353); thanks @ouvreboite).
-
-- Added "Copy raw JSON" collection dropdown option ([#7357](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7357)).
-
-- Updated Go deps and JS SDK.
-
-- Bumped min Go GitHub action version to 1.25.5 because it comes with some [minor security fixes](https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=milestone%3AGo1.25.5).
-    _The runner action was also updated to `actions/setup-go@v6` since the previous v5 Go source seems [no longer accessible](https://github.com/actions/setup-go/pull/665#issuecomment-3416693714)._
-
-
-## v0.34.0
-
-- Added `@request.body.someField:changed` modifier.
-    It could be used when you want to ensure that a body field either wasn't submitted or was submitted with the same value.
-    Or in other words, if you want to disallow a field change the below 2 expressions would be equivalent:
-    ```js
-    // (old)
-    (@request.body.someField:isset = false || @request.body.someField = someField)
-
-    // (new)
-    @request.body.someField:changed = false
-    ```
-
-- Added `MailerRecordEvent.Meta["info"]` property for the `OnMailerRecordAuthAlertSend` hook.
-
-- Updated the backup restore popup with a short info about the performed restore steps.
-
-- Updated Go deps.
-
-
-## v0.33.0
-
-- Added extra `id` characters validation in addition to the user specified regex pattern ([#7312](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7312)).
-    _The following special characters are always forbidden: `./\|"'``<>:?*%$\n\r\t\0 `. Common reserved Windows file names such as `aux`, `prn`, `con`, `nul`, `com1-9`, `lpt1-9` are also not allowed._
-    _The list is not exhaustive but it should help minimizing eventual filesystem compatibility issues in case of wildcards or other loose regex patterns._
-
-- Added `{ALERT_INFO}` placeholder to the auth alert mail template ([#7314](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7314)).
-    _⚠️ `mails.SendRecordAuthAlert(app, authRecord, info)` also now accepts a 3rd `info` string argument._
-
-- Updated Go deps.
-
-
-## v0.32.0
-
-- ⚠️ Added extra List/Search API rules checks for the client-side `filter`/`sort` relations.
-
-    This is continuation of the effort to eliminate the risk of information disclosure _(and eventually the side-channel attacks that may originate from that)_.
-
-    So far this was accepted tradeoff between performance, usability and correctness since the solutions at the time weren't really practical _(especially with the back-relations as mentioned in ["Security and performance" section in #4417](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/4417))_, but with v0.23+ changes we can implement the extra checks without littering the code too much, with very little impact on the performance and at the same time ensuring better out of the box security _(especially for the cases where users operate with sensitive fields like "code", "token", "secret", etc.)_.
-
-    Similar to the previous release, probably for most users with already configured API rules this change won't be breaking, but if you have an _intermediate/junction collection_ that is "locked" (superusers-only) we no longer will allow the client-side relation filter to pass through it and you'll have to set its List/Search API rule to enable the current user to search in it.
-
-    For example, if you have a client-side filter that targets `rel1.rel2.token`, the client must have not only List/Search API rule access to the main collection BUT also to the collections referenced by "rel1" and "rel2" relation fields.
-
-    Note that this change is only for the **client-side** `filter`/`sort` and doesn't affect the execution of superuser requests, API rules and `expand` - they continue to work the same as it is.
-
-    An optional environment variable to toggle this behavior was considered but for now I think having 2 ways of resolving client-side filters would introduce maintenance burden and can even cause confusion (this change should actually make things more intuitive and clear because we can simply say something like _"you can search by a collection X field only if you have List/Search API rule access to it"_ no matter whether the targeted collection is the request's main collection, the first or last relation from the filter chain, etc.).
-
-    If you stumble on an error or extreme query performance degradation as a result of the extra checks, please open a Q&A discussion with the failing request and export of your collections configuration as JSON (_Settings > Export collections_) and I'll try to investigate it.
-
-- Increased the default SQLite `PRAGMA cache_size` to ~32MB.
-
-- Fixed deadlock when manually triggering the `OnTerminate` hook ([#7305](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/7305); thanks @yerTools).
-
-- Fixed some code comment typos, regenerated the JSVM types and updated npm dependencies.
-
-- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` to 1.40.0.
-
-
-## v0.31.0
-
-- Visualize presentable multiple `relation` fields ([#7260](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7260)).
-

-- Added `ApiScenario.DisableTestAppCleanup` optional field to skip the auto test app cleanup and leave it up to the developers to do the cleanup manually ([#7267](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/7267)).
-
-- Added `FileDownloadRequestEvent.ThumbError` field that is populated in case of a thumb generation failure (e.g. unsupported format, timing out, etc.), allowing developers to reject the thumb fallback and/or supply their own custom thumb generation ([#7268](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/7268)).
-
-- ⚠️ Disallow client-side filtering and sorting of relations where the collection of the last targeted relation field has superusers-only List/Search API rule to further minimize the risk of eventual side-channel attack.
-    _This should be a non-breaking change for most users, but if you want the old behavior, please open a new Q&A discussion with details about your use case to evaluate making it configurable._
-    _Note also that as mentioned in the "Security and performance" section of [#4417](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/4417) and [#5863](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/5863), the easiest and recommended solution to protect security sensitive fields (tokens, codes, passwords, etc.) is to mark them as "Hidden" (aka. make them non-API filterable)._
-
-- Regenerated JSVM types and updated npm and Go deps.
-
-
-## v0.30.4

-
-## v0.30.1
-
-- ⚠️ Excluded the `lost+found` directory from the backups ([#7208](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/7208); thanks @lbndev).
-    _If for some reason you want to keep it, you can restore it by editing the `e.Exclude` list of the `OnBackupCreate` and `OnBackupRestore` hooks._
-
-- Minor tests improvements (disabled initial superuser creation for the test app to avoid cluttering the std output, added more tests for the `s3.Uploader.MaxConcurrency`, etc.).
-
-- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` and other Go dependencies.
-
-
-## v0.30.0
-
-- Eagerly escape the S3 request path following the same rules as in the S3 signing header ([#7153](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7153)).
-
-- Added Lark OAuth2 provider ([#7130](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/7130); thanks @mashizora).
-
-- Increased test tokens `exp` claim to minimize eventual issues with reproducible builds ([#7123](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/7123)).
-
-- Added `os.Root` bindings to the JSVM ([`$os.openRoot`](https://pocketbase.io/jsvm/functions/_os.openRoot.html), [`$os.openInRoot`](https://pocketbase.io/jsvm/functions/_os.openInRoot.html)).

-
-- 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
-

-
-- 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](https://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
-
-- Allow OIDC `email_verified` to be int or boolean string since some OIDC providers like AWS Cognito has non-standard userinfo response ([#6657](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/6657)).
-
-- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` to 1.36.3.
-
-
-## v0.26.5
-
-- Fixed canonical URI parts escaping when generating the S3 request signature ([#6654](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6654)).
-
-
-## v0.26.4
-
-- Fixed `RecordErrorEvent.Error` and `CollectionErrorEvent.Error` sync with `ModelErrorEvent.Error` ([#6639](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6639)).
-
-- Fixed logs details copy to clipboard action.
-
-- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` to 1.36.2.
-
-
-## v0.26.3
-
-- Fixed and normalized logs error serialization across common types for more consistent logs error output ([#6631](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6631)).
-
-
-## v0.26.2
-
-- Updated `golang-jwt/jwt` dependency because it comes with a [minor security fix](https://github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/security/advisories/GHSA-mh63-6h87-95cp).
-
-
-## v0.26.1
-
-- Removed the wrapping of `io.EOF` error when reading files since currently `io.ReadAll` doesn't check for wrapped errors ([#6600](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6600)).
-
-
-## v0.26.0
-
-- ⚠️ Replaced `aws-sdk-go-v2` and `gocloud.dev/blob` with custom lighter implementation ([#6562](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6562)).
-    As a side-effect of the dependency removal, the binary size has been reduced with ~10MB and builds ~30% faster.
-    _Although the change is expected to be backward-compatible, I'd recommend to test first locally the new version with your S3 provider (if you use S3 for files storage and backups)._
-
-- ⚠️ Prioritized the user submitted non-empty `createData.email` (_it will be unverified_) when creating the PocketBase user during the first OAuth2 auth.
-
-- Load the request info context during password/OAuth2/OTP authentication ([#6402](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6402)).
-    This could be useful in case you want to target the auth method as part of the MFA and Auth API rules.
-    For example, to disable MFA for the OAuth2 auth could be expressed as `@request.context != "oauth2"` MFA rule.
-
-- Added `store.Store.SetFunc(key, func(old T) new T)` to set/update a store value with the return result of the callback in a concurrent safe manner.
-
-- Added `subscription.Message.WriteSSE(w, id)` for writing an SSE formatted message into the provided writer interface (_used mostly to assist with the unit testing_).
-
-- Added `$os.stat(file)` JSVM helper ([#6407](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6407)).
-
-- Added log warning for `async` marked JSVM handlers and resolve when possible the returned `Promise` as fallback ([#6476](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6476)).
-
-- Allowed calling `cronAdd`, `cronRemove` from inside other JSVM handlers ([#6481](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6481)).
-
-- Bumped the default request read and write timeouts to 5mins (_old 3mins_) to accommodate slower internet connections and larger file uploads/downloads.
-    _If you want to change them you can modify the `OnServe` hook's `ServeEvent.ReadTimeout/WriteTimeout` fields as shown in [#6550](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6550#discussioncomment-12364515)._
-
-- Normalized the `@request.auth.*` and `@request.body.*` back relations resolver to always return `null` when the relation field is pointing to a different collection ([#6590](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6590#discussioncomment-12496581)).
-
-- Other minor improvements (_fixed query dev log nested parameters output, reintroduced `DynamicModel` object/array props reflect types caching, updated Go and npm deps, etc._)
-
-
-## v0.25.9
-
-- Fixed `DynamicModel` object/array props reflect type caching ([#6563](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6563)).
-
-
-## v0.25.8
-
-- Added a default leeway of 5 minutes for the Apple/OIDC `id_token` timestamp claims check to account for clock-skew ([#6529](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6529)).
-    It can be further customized if needed with the `PB_ID_TOKEN_LEEWAY` env variable (_the value must be in seconds, e.g. "PB_ID_TOKEN_LEEWAY=60" for 1 minute_).
-
-
-## v0.25.7
-
-- Fixed `@request.body.jsonObjOrArr.*` values extraction ([#6493](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6493)).
-
-
-## v0.25.6
-
-- Restore the missing `meta.isNew` field of the OAuth2 success response ([#6490](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6490)).
-
-- Updated npm dependencies.
-
-
-## v0.25.5
-
-- Set the current working directory as a default goja script path when executing inline JS strings to allow `require(m)` traversing parent `node_modules` directories.
-
-- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` and `modernc.org/libc` dependencies.
-
-
-## v0.25.4
-
-- Downgraded `aws-sdk-go-v2` to the version before the default data integrity checks because there have been reports for non-AWS S3 providers in addition to Backblaze (IDrive, R2) that no longer or partially work with the latest AWS SDK changes.
-
-    While we try to enforce `when_required` by default, it is not enough to disable the new AWS SDK integrity checks entirely and some providers will require additional manual adjustments to make them compatible with the latest AWS SDK (e.g. removing the `x-aws-checksum-*` headers, unsetting the checksums calculation or reinstantiating the old MD5 checksums for some of the required operations, etc.) which as a result leads to a configuration mess that I'm not sure it would be a good idea to introduce.
-
-    This unfornuatelly is not a PocketBase or Go specific issue and the official AWS SDKs for other languages are in the same situation (even the latest aws-cli).
-
-    For those of you that extend PocketBase with Go: if your S3 vendor doesn't support the [AWS Data integrity checks](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-dataintegrity.html) and you are updating with `go get -u`, then make sure that the `aws-sdk-go-v2` dependencies in your `go.mod` are the same as in the repo:
-    ```
-    // go.mod
-    github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2 v1.36.1
-    github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/config v1.28.10
-    github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/credentials v1.17.51
-    github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/feature/s3/manager v1.17.48
-    github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/s3 v1.72.2
-
-    // after that run
-    go clean -modcache && go mod tidy
-    ```
-    _The versions pinning is temporary until the non-AWS S3 vendors patch their implementation or until I manage to find time to remove/replace the `aws-sdk-go-v2` dependency (I'll consider prioritizing it for the v0.26 or v0.27 release)._
-
-
-## v0.25.3
-
-- Added a temporary exception for Backblaze S3 endpoints to exclude the new `aws-sdk-go-v2` checksum headers ([#6440](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6440)).
-
-
-## v0.25.2
-
-- Fixed realtime delete event not being fired for `RecordProxy`-ies and added basic realtime record resolve automated tests ([#6433](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6433)).
-
-
-## v0.25.1
-
-- Fixed the batch API Preview success sample response.
-
-- Bumped GitHub action min Go version to 1.23.6 as it comes with a [minor security fix](https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=milestone%3AGo1.23.6+label%3ACherryPickApproved) for the ppc64le build.
-
-
-## v0.25.0
-
-- ⚠️ Upgraded Google OAuth2 auth, token and userinfo endpoints to their latest versions.
-    _For users that don't do anything custom with the Google OAuth2 data or the OAuth2 auth URL, this should be a non-breaking change. The exceptions that I could find are:_
-    - `/v3/userinfo` auth response changes:
-        ```
-        meta.rawUser.id             => meta.rawUser.sub
-        meta.rawUser.verified_email => meta.rawUser.email_verified
-        ```
-    - `/v2/auth` query parameters changes:
-        If you are specifying custom `approval_prompt=force` query parameter for the OAuth2 auth URL, you'll have to replace it with **`prompt=consent`**.
-
-- Added Trakt OAuth2 provider ([#6338](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/6338); thanks @aidan-)
-
-- Added support for case-insensitive password auth based on the related UNIQUE index field collation ([#6337](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6337)).
-
-- Enforced `when_required` for the new AWS SDK request and response checksum validations to allow other non-AWS vendors to catch up with new AWS SDK changes (see [#6313](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6313) and [aws/aws-sdk-go-v2#2960](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/discussions/2960)).
-    _You can set the environment variables `AWS_REQUEST_CHECKSUM_CALCULATION` and `AWS_RESPONSE_CHECKSUM_VALIDATION` to `when_supported` if your S3 vendor supports the [new default integrity protections](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-dataintegrity.html)._
-
-- Soft-deprecated `Record.GetUploadedFiles` in favor of `Record.GetUnsavedFiles` to minimize the ambiguities what the method do ([#6269](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6269)).
-
-- Replaced archived `github.com/AlecAivazis/survey` dependency with a simpler  `osutils.YesNoPrompt(message, fallback)` helper.
-
-- Upgraded to `golang-jwt/jwt/v5`.
-
-- Added JSVM `new Timezone(name)` binding for constructing `time.Location` value ([#6219](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6219)).
-
-- Added `inflector.Camelize(str)` and `inflector.Singularize(str)` helper methods.
-
-- Use the non-transactional app instance during the realtime records delete access checks to ensure that cascade deleted records with API rules relying on the parent will be resolved.
-
-- Other minor improvements (_replaced all `bool` exists db scans with `int` for broader drivers compatibility, updated API Preview sample error responses, updated UI dependencies, etc._)
-
-
-## v0.24.4
-
-- Fixed fields extraction for view query with nested comments ([#6309](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6309)).
-
-- Bumped GitHub action min Go version to 1.23.5 as it comes with some [minor security fixes](https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=milestone%3AGo1.23.5).
-
-
-## v0.24.3
-
-- Fixed incorrectly reported unique validator error for fields starting with name of another field ([#6281](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/6281); thanks @svobol13).
-
-- Reload the created/edited records data in the RecordsPicker UI.
-
-- Updated Go dependencies.
-
-
-## v0.24.2
-
-- Fixed display fields extraction when there are multiple "Presentable" `relation` fields in a single related collection ([#6229](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6229)).
-
-
-## v0.24.1
-
-- Added missing time macros in the UI autocomplete.
-
-- Fixed JSVM types for structs and functions with multiple generic parameters.
-
-
-## v0.24.0
-
-- ⚠️ Removed the "dry submit" when executing the collections Create API rule
-    (you can find more details why this change was introduced and how it could affect your app in https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6073).
-    For most users it should be non-breaking change, BUT if you have Create API rules that uses self-references or view counters you may have to adjust them manually.
-    With this change the "multi-match" operators are also normalized in case the targeted collection doesn't have any records
-    (_or in other words, `@collection.example.someField != "test"` will result to `true` if `example` collection has no records because it satisfies the condition that all available "example" records mustn't have `someField` equal to "test"_).
-    As a side-effect of all of the above minor changes, the record create API performance has been also improved ~4x times in high concurrent scenarios (500 concurrent clients inserting total of 50k records - [old (58.409064001s)](https://github.com/pocketbase/benchmarks/blob/54140be5fb0102f90034e1370c7f168fbcf0ddf0/results/hetzner_cax41_cgo.md#creating-50000-posts100k-reqs50000-conc500-rulerequestauthid----requestdatapublicisset--true) vs [new (13.580098262s)](https://github.com/pocketbase/benchmarks/blob/7df0466ac9bd62fe0a1056270d20ef82012f0234/results/hetzner_cax41_cgo.md#creating-50000-posts100k-reqs50000-conc500-rulerequestauthid----requestbodypublicisset--true)).
-
-- ⚠️ Changed the type definition of `store.Store[T any]` to `store.Store[K comparable, T any]` to allow support for custom store key types.
-    For most users it should be non-breaking change, BUT if you are calling `store.New[any](nil)` instances you'll have to specify the store key type, aka. `store.New[string, any](nil)`.
-
-- Added `@yesterday` and `@tomorrow` datetime filter macros.
-
-- Added `:lower` filter modifier (e.g. `title:lower = "lorem"`).
-
-- Added `mailer.Message.InlineAttachments` field for attaching inline files to an email (_aka. `cid` links_).
-
-- Added cache for the JSVM `arrayOf(m)`, `DynamicModel`, etc. dynamic `reflect` created types.
-
-- Added auth collection select for the settings "Send test email" popup ([#6166](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6166)).
-
-- Added `record.SetRandomPassword()` to simplify random password generation usually used in the OAuth2 or OTP record creation flows.
-    _The generated ~30 chars random password is assigned directly as bcrypt hash and ignores the `password` field plain value validators like min/max length or regex pattern._
-
-- Added option to list and trigger the registered app level cron jobs via the Web API and UI.
-
-- Added extra validators for the collection field `int64` options (e.g. `FileField.MaxSize`) restricting them to the max safe JSON number (2^53-1).
-
-- Added option to unset/overwrite the default PocketBase superuser installer using `ServeEvent.InstallerFunc`.
-
-- Added `app.FindCachedCollectionReferences(collection, excludeIds)` to speedup records cascade delete almost twice for projects with many collections.
-
-- Added `tests.NewTestAppWithConfig(config)` helper if you need more control over the test configurations like `IsDev`, the number of allowed connections, etc.
-
-- Invalidate all record tokens when the auth record email is changed programmatically or by a superuser ([#5964](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/5964)).
-
-- Eagerly interrupt waiting for the email alert send in case it takes longer than 15s.
-
-- Normalized the hidden fields filter checks and allow targetting hidden fields in the List API rule.
-
-- Fixed "Unique identify fields" input not refreshing on unique indexes change ([#6184](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6184)).
-
-
-## v0.23.12
-
-- Added warning logs in case of mismatched `modernc.org/sqlite` and `modernc.org/libc` versions ([#6136](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6136#issuecomment-2556336962)).
-
-- Skipped the default body size limit middleware for the backup upload endpoint ([#6152](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6152)).
-
-
-## v0.23.11
-
-- Upgraded `golang.org/x/net` to 0.33.0 to fix [CVE-2024-45338](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-45338).
-  _PocketBase uses the vulnerable functions primarily for the auto html->text mail generation, but most applications shouldn't be affected unless you are manually embedding unrestricted user provided value in your mail templates._
-
-
-## v0.23.10
-
-- Renew the superuser file token cache when clicking on the thumb preview or download link ([#6137](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6137)).
-

-    _If you are extending PocketBase with Go and upgrading with `go get -u` make sure to manually set in your go.mod the `modernc.org/libc` indirect dependency to v1.55.3, aka. the exact same version the driver is using._
-
-
-## v0.23.9

-
-
-## v0.23.7
-
-- Fixed JSVM exception -> Go error unwrapping when throwing errors from non-request hooks ([#6102](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6102)).

-> [!NOTE]
-> You don't have to upgrade to PocketBase v0.23.0 if you are not planning further developing
-> your existing app and/or are satisfied with the v0.22.x features set. There are no identified critical issues
-> with PocketBase v0.22.x yet and in the case of critical bugs and security vulnerabilities, the fixes
-> will be backported for at least until Q1 of 2025 (_if not longer_).
->
-> **If you don't plan upgrading make sure to pin the SDKs version to their latest PocketBase v0.22.x compatible:**
-> - JS SDK: `<0.22.0`
-> - Dart SDK: `<0.19.0`
-
-> [!CAUTION]
-> This release introduces many Go/JSVM and Web APIs breaking changes!
->
-> Existing `pb_data` will be automatically upgraded with the start of the new executable,
-> but custom Go or JSVM (`pb_hooks`, `pb_migrations`) and JS/Dart SDK code will have to be migrated manually.
-> Please refer to the below upgrade guides:
-> - Go:   https://pocketbase.io/v023upgrade/go/.
-> - JSVM: https://pocketbase.io/v023upgrade/jsvm/.
->
-> If you had already switched to some of the earlier `<v0.23.0-rc14` versions and have generated a full collections snapshot migration (aka. `./pocketbase migrate collections`), then you may have to regenerate the migration file to ensure that it includes the latest changes.
-
-PocketBase v0.23.0 is a major refactor of the internals with the overall goal of making PocketBase an easier to use Go framework.
-There are a lot of changes but to highlight some of the most notable ones:
-
-- New and more [detailed documentation](https://pocketbase.io/docs/).
-  _The old documentation could be accessed at [pocketbase.io/old](https://pocketbase.io/old/)._
-- Replaced `echo` with a new router built on top of the Go 1.22 `net/http` mux enhancements.
-- Merged `daos` packages in `core.App` to simplify the DB operations (_the `models` package structs are also migrated in `core`_).
-- Option to specify custom `DBConnect` function as part of the app configuration to allow different `database/sql` SQLite drivers (_turso/libsql, sqlcipher, etc._) and custom builds.
-  _Note that we no longer loads the `mattn/go-sqlite3` driver by default when building with `CGO_ENABLED=1` to avoid `multiple definition` linker errors in case different CGO SQLite drivers or builds are used. You can find an example how to enable it back if you want to in the [new documentation](https://pocketbase.io/docs/go-overview/#github-commattngo-sqlite3)._
-- New hooks allowing better control over the execution chain and error handling (_including wrapping an entire hook chain in a single DB transaction_).
-- Various `Record` model improvements (_support for get/set modifiers, simplfied file upload by treating the file(s) as regular field value like `record.Set("document", file)`, etc._).
-- Dedicated fields structs with safer defaults to make it easier creating/updating collections programmatically.
-- Option to mark field as "Hidden", disallowing regular users to read or modify it (_there is also a dedicated Record hook to hide/unhide Record fields programmatically from a single place_).
-- Option to customize the default system collection fields (`id`, `email`, `password`, etc.).
-- Admins are now system `_superusers` auth records.
-- Builtin rate limiter (_supports tags, wildcards and exact routes matching_).
-- Batch/transactional Web API endpoint.
-- Impersonate Web API endpoint (_it could be also used for generating fixed/nonrenewable superuser tokens, aka. "API keys"_).
-- Support for custom user request activity log attributes.
-- One-Time Password (OTP) auth method (_via email code_).
-- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) support (_currently requires any 2 different auth methods to be used_).
-- Support for Record "proxy/projection" in preparation for the planned autogeneration of typed Go record models.
-- Linear OAuth2 provider ([#5909](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/5909); thanks @chnfyi).
-- WakaTime OAuth2 provider ([#5829](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/5829); thanks @tigawanna).
-- Notion OAuth2 provider ([#4999](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/4999); thanks @s-li1).
-- monday.com OAuth2 provider ([#5346](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/5346); thanks @Jaytpa01).
-- New Instagram provider compatible with the new Instagram Login APIs ([#5588](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/5588); thanks @pnmcosta).
-    _The provider key is `instagram2` to prevent conflicts with existing linked users._
-- Option to retrieve the OIDC OAuth2 user info from the `id_token` payload for the cases when the provider doesn't have a dedicated user info endpoint.
-- Various minor UI improvements (_recursive `Presentable` view, slightly different collection options organization, zoom/pan for the logs chart, etc._)
-- and many more...
-
-#### Go/JSVM APIs changes
-
-> - Go:   https://pocketbase.io/v023upgrade/go/.
-> - JSVM: https://pocketbase.io/v023upgrade/jsvm/.
-
-#### SDKs changes
-
-- [JS SDK v0.22.0](https://github.com/pocketbase/js-sdk/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)
-- [Dart SDK v0.19.0](https://github.com/pocketbase/dart-sdk/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)
-
-#### Web APIs changes
-
-- New `POST /api/batch` endpoint.
-
-- New `GET /api/collections/meta/scaffolds` endpoint.
-
-- New `DELETE /api/collections/{collection}/truncate` endpoint.
-
-- New `POST /api/collections/{collection}/request-otp` endpoint.
-
-- New `POST /api/collections/{collection}/auth-with-otp` endpoint.
-
-- New `POST /api/collections/{collection}/impersonate/{id}` endpoint.
-
-- ⚠️ If you are constructing requests to `/api/*` routes manually remove the trailing slash (_there is no longer trailing slash removal middleware registered by default_).
-
-- ⚠️ Removed `/api/admins/*` endpoints because admins are converted to `_superusers` auth collection records.
-
-- ⚠️ Previously when uploading new files to a multiple `file` field, new files were automatically appended to the existing field values.
-     This behaviour has changed with v0.23+ and for consistency with the other multi-valued fields when uploading new files they will replace the old ones. If you want to prepend or append new files to an existing multiple `file` field value you can use the `+` prefix or suffix:
-     ```js
-     "documents": [file1, file2]  // => [file1_name, file2_name]
-     "+documents": [file1, file2] // => [file1_name, file2_name, old1_name, old2_name]
-     "documents+": [file1, file2] // => [old1_name, old2_name, file1_name, file2_name]
-     ```
-
-- ⚠️ Removed `GET /records/{id}/external-auths` and `DELETE /records/{id}/external-auths/{provider}` endpoints because this is now handled by sending list and delete requests to the `_externalAuths` collection.
-
-- ⚠️ Changes to the app settings model fields and response (+new options such as `trustedProxy`, `rateLimits`, `batch`, etc.). The app settings Web APIs are mostly used by the Dashboard UI and rarely by the end users, but if you want to check all settings changes please refer to the [Settings Go struct](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/blob/develop/core/settings_model.go#L121).
-
-- ⚠️ New flatten Collection model and fields structure. The Collection model Web APIs are mostly used by the Dashboard UI and rarely by the end users, but if you want to check all changes please refer to the [Collection Go struct](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/blob/develop/core/collection_model.go#L308).
-
-- ⚠️ The top level error response `code` key was renamed to `status` for consistency with the Go APIs.
-    The error field key remains `code`:
-    ```js
-    {
-        "status": 400, // <-- old: "code"
-        "message": "Failed to create record.",
-        "data": {
-            "title": {
-                "code": "validation_required",
-                "message": "Missing required value."
-            }
-        }
-    }
-    ```
-
-- ⚠️ New fields in the `GET /api/collections/{collection}/auth-methods` response.
-    _The old `authProviders`, `usernamePassword`, `emailPassword` fields are still returned in the response but are considered deprecated and will be removed in the future._
-    ```js
-    {
-        "mfa": {
-            "duration": 100,
-            "enabled": true
-        },
-        "otp": {
-            "duration": 0,
-            "enabled": false
-        },
-        "password": {
-            "enabled": true,
-            "identityFields": ["email", "username"]
-        },
-        "oauth2": {
-            "enabled": true,
-            "providers": [{"name": "gitlab", ...}, {"name": "google", ...}]
-        },
-        // old fields...
-    }
-    ```
-
-- ⚠️ Soft-deprecated the OAuth2 auth success `meta.avatarUrl` field in favour of `meta.avatarURL`.
+- Bumped the min Go version to 1.27.0 and migrated to the new `encoding/json/v2` package.
+    _⚠️ Please note that Go 1.27.0 retrofitted `encoding/json` to use the v2 package under the hood but unfortunately is not fully backward compatible._
+    _I recommend to not push blindly an update on production and to test your PocketBase application first locally to see if everything works correctly._
