๐ View Raw Release Notes (Original Developer Log)
Here are the highlights of the bugfixes and improvements we made since `6.4.0`
**IMPORTANT: Some interface names may need to be manually updated**
- You may need to update existing `id` columns to use the new Primary Key interface if they aren't already.
- The status interface column name is based on the value in `config.php` (default: `active`). You'll need to update this from `numeric` to the new `status` interface.
- Some core interfaces have now been removed, others now have new names. Directus will still function properly, but some legacy interfaces may fallback to the default interface until you update them in your settings.
See the list below for interface name changes:
```
checkbox => toggle
countries => *removed*
jsoneditor => json
alias => *removed*
directus_file => *removed*
directus_file_title => *removed*

radiobuttons => radio_buttons
Salt => *removed*
select => dropdown
system => *removed*
template_chooser => *removed*
textinput => text_input
wysiwyg => wysiwyg_full
```
