## Executive Summary (TL;DR)
PocketBase v0.27.0. Source highlight: _To update the prebuilt executable you can run `./pocketbase update`._

## Breaking Changes & Deprecations
- It could be a minor breaking change if you are relying on the old behavior and have a Go `tests.ApiScenario` that is testing a Create API rule failure and expect `OnRecordCreateRequest` to be fired. In that case for example you may have to update your test scenario like:

## New Features
- Added new `geoPoint` field for storing `{"lon":x,"lat":y}` geographic coordinates.

## Bug Fixes
- Added second optional JSVM `DateTime` constructor argument for specifying a default timezone as TZ identifier when parsing the date string as alternative to a fixed offset in order to better handle daylight saving time nuances (#6688):
- Other minor improvements (_removed the superuser fields from the auth record create/update body examples, allowed programmatically updating the auth record password from the create/update hooks, fixed collections import error response, etc._).
