- Soft-deprecated `$http.send({ data: object, ... })` in favour of `$http.send({ body: rawString, ... })`
to allow sending non-JSON body with the request ([#3058](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/3058)).
The existing `data` prop will still work, but it is recommended to use `body` instead (_to send JSON you can use `JSON.stringify(...)` as body value_).
