 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-04-24 - 5.15.0 - feat(svDb)
+Enhance svDb decorator to support custom serialization and deserialization options
+
+- Added an optional options parameter to the svDb decorator to accept serialize/deserialize functions
+- Updated instance creation logic (updateFromDb) to apply custom deserialization if provided
+- Updated createSavableObject to use custom serialization when available
+
+## 2025-04-23 - 5.14.1 - fix(db operations)
+Update transaction API to consistently pass optional session parameters across database operations
+
+- Revised transaction support in readme to use startSession without await and showcased session usage in getInstance and save calls
+- Updated methods in classes.collection.ts to accept an optional session parameter for findOne, getCursor, findAll, insert, update, delete, and getCount
+- Enhanced SmartDataDbDoc save and delete methods to propagate session parameters
+- Improved overall consistency of transactional APIs across the library
+
+## 2025-04-23 - 5.14.0 - feat(doc)
+Implement support for beforeSave, afterSave, beforeDelete, and afterDelete lifecycle hooks in document save and delete operations to allow custom logic execution during these critical moments.
+
+- Calls beforeSave hook if defined before performing insert or update.
+- Calls afterSave hook after a document is saved.
+- Calls beforeDelete hook before deletion and afterDelete hook afterward.
+- Ensures _updatedAt timestamp is refreshed during save operations.
+
 ## 2025-04-22 - 5.13.1 - fix(search)
 Improve search query parsing for implicit AND queries by preserving quoted substrings and better handling free terms, quoted phrases, and field:value tokens.

 ### Transaction Support
 
-Use MongoDB transactions for atomic operations:
+Use MongoDB transactions for atomic operations. SmartData now exposes `startSession()` and accepts an optional session in all fetch and write APIs:
 
 ```typescript
-const session = await db.startSession();
+// start a client session (no await)

 try {
+  // wrap operations in a transaction
   await session.withTransaction(async () => {

+    // pass session as second arg to getInstance
+    const user = await User.getInstance({ id: 'user-id' }, session);

+    // pass session in save opts
