This release introduces experimental Apple OAuth2 integration, unique constraints and indexes management (supporting multiple fields and expressions), relation normalizations and optimizations, and other various improvements.
---
- Added _experimental_ Apple OAuth2 integration.
- Added `@request.headers.*` filter rule support.
- 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.
- Deprecated `SchemaField.Unique`. Unique constraints are now managed via indexes.
The `Unique` field is a no-op and will be removed in future version.
- 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)).
- Detect `id` aliased view columns as single `relation` fields ([#2029](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/2029)).
- Optimized single relation lookups.
- Normalized record values on `maxSelect` field option change (`select`, `file`, `relation`).
When changing **from single to multiple** all already inserted single values are converted to an array.
When changing **from multiple to single** only the last item of the already inserted array items is kept.
- 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)).
- Added option to explicitly set the record id from the Admin UI ([#2118](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/2118)).
- Added `migrate history-sync` command to clean `_migrations` history table from deleted migration files references.
- Added new fields to the `core.RecordAuthWithOAuth2Event` struct:
```
IsNewRecord bool, // boolean field indicating whether the OAuth2 action created a new auth record
ProviderName string, // the name of the OAuth2 provider (eg. "google")
ProviderClient auth.Provider, // the loaded Provider client instance
```
- Added CGO linux target for the prebuilt executable.
- **!** Renamed `daos.GetTableColumns()` to `daos.TableColumns()` for consistency with the other Dao table related helpers.
- **!** Renamed `daos.GetTableInfo()` to `daos.TableInfo()` for consistency with the other Dao table related helpers.
- **!** Changed `types.JsonArray` to support specifying a generic type, aka. `types.JsonArray[T]`.
If you have previously used `types.JsonArray`, you'll have to update it to `types.JsonArray[any]`.
- **!** 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)).
- **!** Changed the request logs `method` value to UPPERCASE, eg. "get" => "GET" ([#1956](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/1956)).
- Other minor UI improvements.
