v0.23.0-rc7 (WIP)
Caution
This is a prerelease intended for test and experimental purposes only!
-
Attach the default panic-recover middleware after the activity logger so that we can log the error.
-
Updated the
RequestEvent.BindBody
FormData type inferring rules to convert numeric strings into float64 only if the resulting minimal number string representation matches the initial FormData string value (#5687). -
Fixed the JSVM types to include properly generated function declarations when the related Go functions have shortened/combined return values.
-
Reorganized the record table fields<->columns syncing to remove the
PRAGMA writable_schema
usage.
v0.23.0-rc6
Caution
This is a prerelease intended for test and experimental purposes only!
-
Fixed realtime 403 API error on resubscribe (#5674).
-
Fixed the auto OAuth2 avatar mapped field assignment when the OAuth2 provider doesn't return an avatar URL (#5673). In case the avatar retrieval fails and the mapped record field "Required" option is not set, the error is silenced and only logged with WARN level.
-
Added
Router.SEARCH(path, action)
helper method for registeringSEARCH
endpoints. -
Changed all builtin middlewares to return
*hook.Handler[*core.RequestEvent]
with a default middleware id for consistency and to allow removal. Or in other words, replace.BindFunc(apis.Gzip())
with.Bind(apis.Gzip())
. -
Updated the JSVM types to reflect the recent changes.
v0.23.0-rc5
Caution
This is a prerelease intended for test and experimental purposes only!
-
Added Notion OAuth2 provider (#4999; thanks @s-li1).
-
Added monday.com OAuth2 provider (#5346; thanks @Jaytpa01).
-
Added 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. -
Fixed the relation record picker to sort by default by
@rowid
instead of thecreated
field as the latter is optional (#5641). -
Fixed the UI "Set Superusers only" button click not properly resetting the input state.
-
Fixed the OAuth2 providers logo path shown in the "Authorized providers" UI.
-
Fixed the single value UI for the
select
,file
andrelation
fields (#5646)
v0.23.0-rc4
Caution
This is a prerelease intended for test and experimental purposes only!
-
Fixed the UI settings update form to prevent sending empty string for the mail password or the S3 secret options on resave of the form.
-
⚠️ Added an exception for the
OAuth2
field in the GO->JSVM name mapping rules:// old -> new collection.oAuth2.* -> collection.oauth2.*
-
Added more user friendly view collection truncate error message.
-
Added an extra suffix character to the name of autogenerated template migration file for
*test
suffixed collections to prevent acidentally resulting in_test.go
migration files. -
Added
FieldsList.AddMarshaledJSON([]byte)
helper method to load a serialized json array of objects or a single json object into an existing collection fields list. -
Fixed the autogenerated Go migration template when updating a collection (#5631).
⚠️ If you have already used a previous prerelease and have autogenerated Go migration files, please check the migration files named
{timestamp}_updated_{collection}.go
and manually change:Old (broken) New // add field / update field if err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(`[{ ... }]`), &collection.Fields); err != nil { return err }
// add field / update field if err := collection.Fields.AddMarshaledJSON([]byte(`{ ... }`)); err != nil { return err }
go run . serve --dir="pb_data_temp"
v0.23.0-rc3
Caution
This is a prerelease intended for test and experimental purposes only!
-
Make
PRAGMA optimize
statement optional in case it is not supported by the driver (#5611). -
Reapply the minimum required
pb_data/auxiliary.db
migrations if the db file was manually deleted (#5618). -
To avoid confusion and unnecessary casting, the
hook.HandlerFunc[T]
type has been removed and instead everywhere we now use directly the underlying function definition, aka.:func(T) error
-
Fixed the UI input field type of the OTP.length field (#5617).
-
Other minor fixes (fixed API preview and examples error message typos, better hint for combined/multi-spaced view query columns, fixed the path for the HTTPS green favicon path, etc.).
v0.23.0-rc2
Caution
This is a prerelease intended for test and experimental purposes only!
- Small update to the earlier v0.23.0-rc that uses
pb_data/auxiliary.db
instead ofpb_data/aux.db
because it seems that on Windowsaux
is disallowed as file name (#5607). If you have already upgraded to v0.23.0-rc please rename manually yourpb_data/aux.db
file topb_data/auxiliary.db
.
v0.23.0-rc
Caution
This is a prerelease intended for test and experimental purposes only!
It introduces many Go/JSVM breaking changes and requires manual migration steps.
All new features will be reflected in the new website documentation with the final v0.23.0 release.
Note
Please note that 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 just 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
PocketBase v0.23.0-rc is a major refactor of the internals with the overall goal of making PocketBase an easier to use Go framework.
There are many changes but to highlight some of the most notable ones:
- Replaced
echo
with a new router built on top of the Go 1.22net/http
mux enhancements. - Merged
daos
packages incore.App
to simplify the DB operations (themodels
package structs are also migrated incore
). - Option to specify custom
DBConnect
function as part of the app configuration to allow differentdatabase/sql
SQLite drivers (turso/libsql, sqlcipher, etc.) and custom builds. - 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 likerecord.Set("document", file)
, etc.). - Dedicated fields structs with safer defaults to make it easier creating/updating collections programmatically.
- Option to mark field as Private/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/non-refreshable 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.
- Various minor UI improvements (recursive
Presentable
view, slightly different collection options organization, zoom/pan for the logs chart, etc.) - and many more...
In terms of performance, the Go standard router mux is known to be slightly slower compared to Gin, Echo, etc. implementations, but based on my local tests the difference is negliable. The benchmarks repo will be updated with the final v0.23.0 release (currently there seems to be ~10% memory consumption increase which I'll have to investigate to see whether it is from the router change or from the new hooks).
Go/JSVM APIs changes
For upgrading to PocketBase v0.23.0, please refer to:
SDKs changes
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}/impersonate/{id}
endpoint. -
⚠️ 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 multiplefile
field value you can use the+
prefix or suffix:"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
andDELETE /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. -
⚠️ 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.
-
⚠️ The top level error response
code
key was renamed tostatus
for consistency with the Go APIs. The error field key remainscode
:{ "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 oldauthProviders
,usernamePassword
,emailPassword
fields are still returned in the response but are considered deprecated and will be removed in the future.{ "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 ofmeta.avatarURL
.
