## June 2025

### Changes

- **[BUG] :** Virtual field deep is throwing error for SQL databases in some edge cases.
- **[IMPROVEMENT] :** Master save now automatically sets value of key which points to another table key which is saved previously in nested structure in any level.
- **[BUG] :** Code finder throwing error issue fixed
- **[BUG] :** SQL Server bulk insert should return saved data when we don’t have any auto increment key in table.
- **[IMPROVEMENT] :** Code comparator refactoring. Simple plain text comparator added.
- **[FEATURE] :** Deployment hooks feature are now supported.
    - Now API Maker deployment can be done from outside also.
    - Ex: Deployment pipelines, Some mobile app or web app, terminal, postman etc...
- **[FEATURE] :** `throwErrorIfRecordNotFound` query parameter support added in `deleteById` & `updateById` & `replaceById` APIs and their respective methods in code.
    - So, API will throw error when we try to delete/update/replace record which is not there in database. We can override database behaviour of not throwing error.
- **[FEATURE] :** Now we can upload files for `g.req.body.files1` & `g.req.body.files2` etc.. upto 50 to handle multiple file categories. Earlier we had support for only `g.req.body.files`
- **[BUG] :** Utility class change is not getting reflected for native custom APIs.
- **[FEATURE] :** `authTokenInfo` supports multiple objects of same type, for example we can provide multiple objects of `"authTokenType": "AM_DB"` and when we pass token in `x-am-user-authorization` should be valid token of any provided table. Same is applicable with other types.
- **[IMPROVEMENT] :** Installation script now supports installation without caddy server and `node_modules` of old installation folder will be used in case of same package.json file which will improve installation performance.

### UI Maker Extension

- **[IMPROVEMENT] :** Generate dropdown/multi_select for number & string fields also when they have collection/table present in schema.
- **[BUG] :** System was not getting schema properly and it was not loading grid for nested grid & forms in it.
- **[IMPROVEMENT] :** Automatic width adjustments in outline for function and form.
- **[IMPROVEMENT] :** GET, PUT, DELETE method support added in api call overrides.
- **[IMPROVEMENT] :** Generate grid for virtual fields as we can save/update things based on that.
- **[BUG] :** Show large files in preview of file upload control issue fixed.
- **[IMPROVEMENT] :** In standalone forms, close button is default visible and on click it generates `CLOSE_BUTTON_CLICKED` event for parent.
