- 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).
- Implemented RBAC for the deployment module across all Directus packages and added new features such as persisted table column widths, AI Assistant image/PDF upload support, JSON field selection, and lower‑case MySQL table name handling.
- Fixed numerous issues including password‑reset handling for external auth providers, UI responsiveness, MIME‑type restrictions, performance regressions with large GeoJSON fields, and various validation and translation bugs.
