Latest Directus changelog updates
Fixed storage connection leaks for all drivers and made `exists()` throw on lookup failures, requiring error handling (breaking).
⚠️ Breaking: Minimal app access now restricts readable settings fields and the WYSIWYG editor switches from TinyMCE to Tiptap, dropping TinyMCE customizations.
Updated Vite dependency to 8.1.2 for both @directus/app and @directus/api.
Breaking changes: GraphQL mutations are now limited to single‑use and the /utils/hash/generate and /utils/hash/verify endpoints have been removed.
Added support for non‑interactive mode in the Directus extension creation tool
Added keyboard-editable date entry for datetime fields and inline editing support for JSON repeater interface
Directus 12 enforces active licensing; SSO, custom permission rules, custom LLMs, and AI translations now require a paid license, with a 30‑day grace period on upgrades.
Added token regeneration confirmation with immediate save, introduced opt‑in asset cache revalidation (ETag) via ASSETS_CACHE_REVALIDATE env var, and a `force` flag for schema apply to bypass hash checks
Added UI enhancements: Active/Suspended/Invited tabs in Users view and “Save as New File” option in the image editor
Added timezone support for datetime display, moved shortcut composables, and introduced a comparison modal checkbox to view only modified fields
Added keyboard navigation for cards layout, native Tabs group UI, bulk folder deletion, and a parseNow utility for $NOW variables
Added background data import with configurable timeout and max concurrency, plus API request counting telemetry and Redis namespace control.
Updated Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI models in system data and AI packages; upgraded AI SDK dependencies.
Introduced a global draft version (standardizing the "Draft" display name) and added field permission/version access checks to the Visual Editor, requiring an update to @directus/visual-editing v2.0.0 (potential breaking change).
Added collaboration state (is viewing, is editing) with minor design updates.
Added activity logging for explicit user logout across the app, API, and constants.
Added Netlify as a deployment provider across the app, API, and types packages.
Fixed field selection bug for 20+ fields across app, API, composables, and env packages
Introduces potential breaking changes – prompts, content items, and visual editor elements are now attached to the AI Assistant Context; disabled interfaces are no longer interactive (read‑only fields can’t be opened).
Breaking: Added multi‑domain support for OAuth/OpenID with stricter SSO callback URL generation and port‑matched redirect validation.
Added multi-file and folder tree download support across Directus packages, introduced AI chat sidebar, resizable sidebars, header interface, and number input warnings.

Fixed layout display dependent on item count and added loading indicator for setup forms in the Directus app
Breaking change: non‑relational types removed from RELATIONAL_TYPES constant and scope.delete filter hook now runs after permission checks, with hook‑provided keys replacing originals (hooks must handle their own permission checks).
Fixed versioning metadata – USER_CREATED/UPDATED and DATE fields now reflect actual creation/update timestamps, and requesting a non‑existent version now returns a Forbidden error (potential breaking change).
Potential breaking change: Content Versioning now requires explicit field expansion, validates invalid data on query, and applies filters to versioned data.

Snapshots now exclude database‑only tables, a breaking change that may affect table creation/deletion and introduce data‑loss risk if snapshot workflows aren't adjusted.

Fixed error when making unchanged edits to an O2M field in Directus app
