- Introduced secure auth sessions that store a unique session ID in the database, requiring a migration for projects using the local auth strategy with Postgres or SQLite (can be disabled via auth.useSessions:false).
- Added several new features including auth session support, collection‑level preferences and disableBulkEdit, accurate import/export previews for CSV/JSON, extra template tests, and UI enhancements.
- Fixed many bugs across rich‑text field typings, live preview limits, database query handling, CSV export duplication, UI component behavior, and updated documentation.
