 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-04-18 - 5.9.0 - feat(collections/search)
+Improve text index creation and search fallback mechanisms in collections and document search methods
+
+- Auto-create a compound text index on all searchable fields in SmartdataCollection with a one-time flag to prevent duplicate index creation.
+- Refine the search method in SmartDataDbDoc to support exact field matches and safe regex fallback for non-Lucene queries.
+
+## 2025-04-17 - 5.8.4 - fix(core)
+Update commit metadata with no functional code changes
+
+- Commit info and documentation refreshed
+- No code or test changes detected in the diff
+
+## 2025-04-17 - 5.8.3 - fix(readme)
+Improve readme documentation on data models and connection management
+
+- Clarify that data models use @Collection, @unI, @svDb, @index, and @searchable decorators
+- Document that ObjectId and Buffer fields are stored as BSON types natively without extra decorators
+- Update connection management section to use 'db.close()' instead of 'db.disconnect()'
+- Revise license section to reference the MIT License without including additional legal details
+
+## 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.
+
+- Specify Promise<T> as return type for next() in SmartdataDbCursor and cast return value to T.
+- Specify Promise<T[]> as return type for toArray() in SmartdataDbCursor and cast return value to T[].
+- Update getCursorExtended to return Promise<SmartdataDbCursor<T>> for clearer type safety.
+
+## 2025-04-14 - 5.8.0 - feat(cursor)
+Add toArray method to SmartdataDbCursor to convert raw MongoDB documents into initialized class instances
+
+- Introduced asynchronous toArray method in SmartdataDbCursor which retrieves all documents from the MongoDB cursor
+- Maps each native document to a SmartDataDbDoc instance using createInstanceFromMongoDbNativeDoc for consistent API usage
+
+## 2025-04-14 - 5.7.0 - feat(SmartDataDbDoc)
+Add extended cursor method getCursorExtended for flexible cursor modifications
+
+- Introduces getCursorExtended in classes.doc.ts to allow modifier functions for MongoDB cursors
+- Wraps the modified cursor with SmartdataDbCursor for improved API consistency
+- Enhances querying capabilities by enabling customized cursor transformations
+
 ## 2025-04-07 - 5.6.0 - feat(indexing)
 Add support for regular index creation in documents and collections

 ### Defining Data Models
 
-Data models in `@push.rocks/smartdata` are classes that represent collections and documents in your MongoDB database. Use decorators such as `@Collection`, `@unI`, and `@svDb` to define your data models.
+Data models in `@push.rocks/smartdata` are classes that represent collections and documents in your MongoDB database. Use decorators such as `@Collection`, `@unI`, `@svDb`, `@index`, and `@searchable` to define your data models. Fields of type `ObjectId` or `Buffer` decorated with `@svDb()` will be stored as BSON ObjectId and Binary, respectively; no separate `@oid()` or `@bin()` decorators are required.
