- Fixed Views record retrieval when numeric id is used ([#3110](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/3110)).
_With this fix we also now properly recognize `CAST(... as TEXT)` and `CAST(... as BOOLEAN)` as `text` and `bool` fields._
- Fixed `relation` "Cascade delete" tooltip message ([#3098](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/3098)).
- Fixed jsvm error message prefix on failed migrations ([#3103](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/3103); thanks @nzhenev).
- Disabled the initial Admin UI admins counter cache when there are no initial admins to allow detecting externally created accounts (eg. with the `admin` command) ([#3106](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/3106)).
- Downgraded `google/go-cloud` dependency to v0.32.0 until v0.34.0 is released to prevent the `os.TempDir` `cross-device link` error since too many users complained about it.
