Breaking Changes

[core] Upgrades Prisma major version to 7. prisma and @prisma/client are now peer dependencies of @keystone-6/core. You will need to install them in your project along with the relevant adapter for your database (e.g. @prisma/adapter-pg). The db.url, db.shadowDatabaseUrl, and db.enableLogging config options have been replaced with a prismaClientOptions option, this is a function which should return the configuring Prisma adapter and any other options you want to pass to the Prisma client. The Prisma Client is now generated into generated/prisma by default now (#9872) @emmatown
[core] Removes the keystone prisma command, you should use prisma directly. (#9872) @emmatown
[core] Removes the keystone migrate commands and the --with-migrations option, you should use prisma directly. (#9872) @emmatown
[core] Replaces @keystone-6/core/testing's resetDatabase function with new implementations in @keystone-6/core/testing/postgresql, @keystone-6/core/testing/sqlite and @keystone-6/core/testing/mysql (#9872) @emmatown
[auth, cloudinary, core, create-keystone-app, document-renderer, fields-document] Changes package to exclusively Node ESM. This is intended to be used by require(esm) and should not affect consumers beyond requiring a modern Node version. keystone build outputs are still CommonJS. (#9929) @emmatown
[core] Moves the default field mode configuration from ui.*.defaultFieldMode to fieldDefaults.ui.*.fieldMode on lists and field groups. (#9882) @emmatown
[core] Fixes the password field to throw an error for inputs longer than 72 bytes when using the default bcrypt key derivation function (KDF) (#9486) @emmatown
[core] Changes the sudo boolean on GraphQL schema extensions to scope, which is either 'public' or 'internal'. Code that previously checked schema.extensions.sudo should now check schema.extensions.scope === 'internal'. (#9914) @emmatown
[core] Changes displayMode: 'count' on relationship fields to require itemView.fieldMode: 'read' or a dynamic fieldMode that only resolves to 'read' or 'hidden'. (#9528) @emmatown
[auth] Removes magicAuthLink and passwordResetLink functionality from @keystone-6/auth (#9245) @dcousens
[core] Removes {list}.description and {list}.ui.description, retains {list}.graphql.description functionality (#9672) @dcousens
[core] Removes null value from {field}.ui.description, replace with empty string or omit the key (#9672) @dcousens
[core] Changes field meta from {field}.path to {field}.key, as used by field views (#9671) @dcousens
[core] Moves storage configuration to image and file fields, with a new StorageStrategy interface that directly defines how put, delete and url functions (#9529) @emmatown
[auth, core, fields-document] Updates to graphql@^16.14.2, graphql is now also a peer dependency in addition to a normal dependency so if you have a dependency on graphql yourself, you must have a compatible version installed (#9956) @emmatown
[core] Moves {field}.label to {field}.ui.label (#9631) @dcousens
[core] Changes the type for ui.getAdditionalFiles to be flattened, prefer function composition when wrapping (#9681) @dcousens
[core] Removes the deprecated --fix flag from keystone postinstall (#9190) @gautamsi
[core] Updates @apollo/server to v5 (#9880) @trickreich
[core] Adds itemField, originalItemField, inputFieldData and resolvedFieldData parameters to field hooks (#9600) @dcousens
[core] Removes the isFilterable, isOrderable, defaultIsFilterable, and defaultIsOrderable configuration options. Field read access can now distinguish between reading an item, filtering, and ordering through access.read.item, access.read.filter, and access.read.order. The corresponding GraphQL schema fields can be omitted through graphql.omit.read, with list-wide defaults configured through fieldDefaults.access and fieldDefaults.graphql.omit. (#9883) @emmatown
[create-keystone-app] Removes auto-install, use your preferred package manager to install dependencies instead (#9942) @emmatown
[core] Changes the method by which .sudo() bypasses access control, with context.sudo().graphql.schema now retaining access control as part of the GraphQL schema (#9731) @dcousens
[core] Removes deprecated validateInput and validateDelete hooks and adds object hook syntax to fields. (#9204) @gautamsi

[core] Upgrades @graphql-ts/schema to 1.0.0 (#9535) @emmatown
[auth] Removes initFirstItem, including the /init Admin UI page and the createInitial* GraphQL mutation. Use db.onConnect to seed an initial user instead. (#9915) @emmatown

[auth, core] Updates @apollo/client to v4 (#9740) @emmatown

[core] Moves item field parameters from list.itemView() to list() in the KeystoneAdminMeta GraphQL type (#9684) @dcousens
[core] Removes .itemQueryName and .listQueryName from KeystoneAdminUIListMeta, use .graphql.names.*QueryName instead (#9253) @dcousens
[core] Removes the @keystone-ui/* design system, you should upgrade your custom components to @keystar/ui. When you depend on @keystar/ui, you should pin @keystar/ui and @keystone-6/core to matching versions based on the version in @keystone-6/core's peerDependencies, whenever updating @keystone-6/core, you should also update @keystar/ui to the matching version. (#9253) @dcousens
[core] Changes item argument type in field.*View.field* functions to be nullable (#9253) @dcousens
[fields-document] Removes @keystone-6/fields-document/primitives from exports (#9253) @dcousens

[core] Upgrades Next major version to 16, next is also now a peer dependency so it must be installed directly in your project. (#9421) @gautamsi
[auth, cloudinary, core, fields-document] Moves react and react-dom to peer dependencies. (#9421) @gautamsi
[cloudinary, core, fields-document] Removes jsonFieldTypePolyfilledForSQLite since Prisma now supports the Json scalar for SQLite (#9541) @emmatown
[core] Updates default types.path to generated/keystone/types.ts (#9925) @emmatown
[auth, core] Changes the password field options from bcrypt and workFactor to the new generic kdf option. (#9471) @emmatown
[core] Changes Prisma client error handling so Prisma operations no longer return GraphQLError. Using the Prisma client will now throw errors normally. Prisma errors that are not caught in resolvers will now have all information beyond the fact that they're Prisma errors removed before they're returned over the network. You can use graphql.apolloConfig.formatError in your config to override this. (#9476) @emmatown
[core] Adds {list}.graphql.singular option (#9644) @dcousens
