 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-04-14 - 5.8.2 - fix(classes.doc.ts)
+Ensure collection initialization before creating a cursor in getCursorExtended
+
+- Added 'await collection.init()' to guarantee that the MongoDB collection is initialized before using the cursor
+- Prevents potential runtime errors when accessing collection.mongoDbCollection
+
 ## 2025-04-14 - 5.8.1 - fix(cursor, doc)
 Add explicit return types and casts to SmartdataDbCursor methods and update getCursorExtended signature in SmartDataDbDoc.
