Breaking-change evidence from the source
The manual code-token exchange flow is still supported but the SDK method 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`_).
⚡ Executive Summary (TL;DR)
PocketBase v0.15.0. Source highlight: Simplified the OAuth2 authentication flow in a single "all in one" call (#55).
