- Simplified the OAuth2 authentication flow in a single "all in one" call ([#55](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/55)).
Requires JS SDK v0.14.0+ or Dart SDK v0.9.0+.
The manual code-token exchange flow is still supported but the SDK methods is renamed to `authWithOAuth2Code()` (_to minimize the breaking changes the JS SDK has a function overload that will proxy the existing `authWithOauth2` calls to `authWithOAuth2Code`_).
For more details and example, you could check https://pocketbase.io/docs/authentication/#oauth2-integration.
- Downgraded to v1 of the `aws/aws-sdk-go` package since v2 has compatibility issues with GCS ([#2231](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/2231)).
- Upgraded the GitHub action to use [min Go 1.20.3](https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=milestone%3AGo1.20.3+label%3ACherryPickApproved) for the prebuilt executable since it contains some minor `net/http` security fixes.
- 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.
- 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)).
- 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)).
- **!** 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)).
- Added `HEAD` request method support for the `/api/files/:collection/:recordId/:filename` route ([#1976](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/1976)).
- 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 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.
- 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)).
_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 `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)).
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).
- 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._
- 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.
- 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.
- ! 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).
- Added support for SMTP `LOGIN` auth for Microsoft/Outlook and other providers that don't support the `PLAIN` auth method ([#1217](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/1217#discussioncomment-4387970)).
- Added support for split (concurrent and nonconcurrent) DB connections pool increasing even further the concurrent throughput without blocking reads on heavy write load.
- Refactored the `core.app.Bootstrap()` to be called before starting the cobra commands ([#1267](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/1267)).
- ! Changed `pocketbase.NewWithConfig(config Config)` to `pocketbase.NewWithConfig(config *Config)` and added 4 new config settings:
```go
DataMaxOpenConns int // default to core.DefaultDataMaxOpenConns
DataMaxIdleConns int // default to core.DefaultDataMaxIdleConns
LogsMaxOpenConns int // default to core.DefaultLogsMaxOpenConns
LogsMaxIdleConns int // default to core.DefaultLogsMaxIdleConns
```
- Added new helper method `core.App.IsBootstrapped()` to check the current app bootstrap state.
- ! Changed `core.NewBaseApp(dir, encryptionEnv, isDebug)` to `NewBaseApp(config *BaseAppConfig)`.
- ! Removed `rest.UploadedFile` struct (see below `filesystem.File`).
- Moved the record file upload and delete out of the db transaction to minimize the locking times.
- Added `Dao` query semaphore and base fail/retry handling to improve the concurrent writes throughput ([#1187](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1187)).
- Replaced `c.QueryString()` with `c.QueryParams().Encode()` to allow loading middleware modified query parameters in the default crud actions ([#1210](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/1210)).
- Fixed the datetime field not triggering the `onChange` event on manual field edit and added a "Clear" button ([#1219](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/1219)).
- Updated the GitHub goreleaser action to use go 1.19.4 since it comes with [some security fixes](https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=milestone%3AGo1.19.4+label%3ACherryPickApproved).
- Added the raw OAuth2 user data (`meta.rawUser`) and OAuth2 access token (`meta.accessToken`) to the auth response ([#654](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/654)).
-`BaseModel.UnmarkAsNew()` method was renamed to `BaseModel.MarkAsNotNew()`.
Additionally, to simplify the insert model queries with custom IDs, it is no longer required to call `MarkAsNew()` for manually initialized models with set ID since now this is the default state.
When the model is populated with values from the database (eg. after row `Scan`) it will be marked automatically as "not new".
- Added `Record.OriginalCopy()` method that returns a new `Record` copy populated with the initially loaded record data (useful if you want to compare old and new field values).
- Refactored the `migrate` command to support **external JavaScript migration files** using an embedded JS interpreter ([goja](https://github.com/dop251/goja)).
initializing default settings, running data imports, etc., with a JavaScript API very similar to the Go one (_more documentation will be available soon_).
**The refactoring also comes with automigrations support.**
If `Automigrate` is enabled (`true` by default for the prebuilt executable; can be disabled with `--automigrate=0`),
PocketBase will generate seamlessly in the background JS (or Go) migration file with your collection changes.
**The directory with the JS migrations can be committed to your git repo.**
All migrations (Go and JS) are automatically executed on server start.
Also note that the auto generated migrations are granural (in contrast to the `migrate collections` snapshot command)
and allow multiple developers to do changes on the collections independently (even editing the same collection) miniziming the eventual merge conflicts.
Here is a sample JS migration file that will be generated if you for example edit a single collection name:
There is no longer `user` type field and the users are just an "auth" collection (we now support **collection types**, currently only "base" and "auth").
This should simplify the users management and at the same time allow us to have unlimited multiple "auth" collections each with their own custom fields and authentication options (eg. staff, client, etc.).
In addition to the `Users` and `profiles` merge, this release comes with several other improvements:
- Added indirect expand support [#312](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/312#issuecomment-1242893496).
- The `json` field type now supports filtering and sorting [#423](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/423#issuecomment-1258302125).
- Added support for combined email/username + password authentication (see below `authWithPassword()`).
- Added support for full _"manager-subordinate"_ users management, including a special API rule to allow directly changing system fields like email, password, etc. without requiring `oldPassword` or other user verification.
- Enabled OAuth2 account linking on authorized request from the same auth collection (_this is useful for example if the OAuth2 provider doesn't return an email and you want to associate it with the current logged in user_).
- Added option to toggle the record columns visibility from the table listing.
- Added support for collection schema fields reordering.
- Added several new OAuth2 providers (Microsoft Azure AD, Spotify, Twitch, Kakao).
- Improved memory usage on large file uploads [#835](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/835).
- More detailed API preview docs and site documentation (the repo is located at https://github.com/pocketbase/site).
- Other minor performance improvements (mostly related to the search apis).
(notice that the <code>email</code> body field was renamed to <code>identity</code>)

- To prevent confusion with the auth method responses, the following endpoints now returns 204 with empty body (previously 200 with token and auth model):
```
POST /api/admins/confirm-password-reset
POST /api/collections/:collection/confirm-password-reset
POST /api/collections/:collection/confirm-verification
POST /api/collections/:collection/confirm-email-change
```
- Renamed the "user" related settings fields returned by `GET /api/settings`:
<em>(requires the auth record to be from the same context collection)</em>
</td>

- The following record Dao helpers now uses the collection id or name instead of `*models.Collection` instance to reduce the verbosity when fetching records:
- The second argument of `apis.StaticDirectoryHandler(fileSystem, enableIndexFallback)` now is used to enable/disable index.html forwarding on missing file (eg. in case of SPA).
