Summary

The latest release introduces a series of enhancements and new capabilities, including the integration of the popular geospatial extension PostGIS into Gel, enabling users to access geographic data types and functions directly within the platform. The update also includes improvements to the Auth extension, adding webhooks for various authentication lifecycle events, which allow for customized email interactions and expanded OpenID Connect support to streamline integration with diverse identity providers. Additionally, a new standard library module for asynchronous networking is introduced, starting with HTTP, enabling scheduling of HTTP requests and integration with external services. The update also synchronizes the preconfigured list of AI models with the latest developments from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Mistral, while allowing users to configure their own models utilizing abstract types. The release aims to enhance user experience by simplifying sign-up processes, providing a development-only SMTP provider for immediate testing of email flows, and offering better visualization tools for interacting with PostGIS geometries.
