At Appwrite, we're committed to helping you build secure, privacy-focused applications that meet the highest data protection standards. Now, Appwrite is fully CCPA-compliant, providing secure and reliable data management.
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a landmark data privacy law that enhances consumer rights for residents of California. The CCPA is designed to enhance privacy rights and consumer protections for residents of California. It was signed into law in 2018 and enacted on January 1, 2020. The law aims to give California residents more control over the personal data that businesses collect about them. Although CCPA is specific to California residents, its impact is often felt nationwide and across borders. Many companies that do business in California implement CCPA protections for all users simply because it's easier than maintaining separate data policies for different regions.

Appwrite 1.6 is now available for self hosting! Packed with all the updates and improvements from Appwrite Init, this release puts a strong emphasis on the functions ecosystem including scheduled and delayed executions, dynamic API keys and the introduction of binary executions. With the addition of Go to the function runtimes, we continue to broaden our ecosystem to meet your needs. The all new CLI and Local Development offer an improved developer experience when working with functions. Furthermore, new features like Mock numbers and session alerts strengthen security and development flexibility.
In addition to these new features, we've addressed several important issues, from resolving large function build errors to improving Git integration during deployments. These fixes, along with updates to function execution metrics and database attribute management, ensure an overall smoother experience.
We're excited to see what you build! Head over to our migration guide to learn how you can upgrade your Appwrite instance. For the complete list of updates and fixes, check out the changelog below.

A security issue was identified in the open-runtimes/executor repository, that resulted in stack traces from errors being included in build and execution logs, which in some cases, could expose sensitive information.
For users of Appwrite Cloud we have deployed a security patch and rotated any affected keys to safeguard against potential misuse. We have also verified our logs to ensure no exploitation of this issue occurred. Therefore, no further action is required on your part.
For developers using self-hosted Appwrite instances, we strongly recommend upgrading to version 1.5.11 to apply the security patch and prevent any further exposure. Since this is a patch release, no migrations are required. Please refer to our documentation to upgrade your instance.
We’re happy to share that you can now update attribute names and sizes directly from your Cloud Console.
This update provides better flexibility in managing your data models, allowing you to adjust attributes without needing to recreate them or handle complicated migrations.
This is just one of a series of updates we plan to release for Appwrite databases based on your feedback over the next few weeks.
We’ve listened to your feedback and are introducing two new features designed to simplify phone authentication testing and bolster account security.
Mock numbers allow you to set up a list of phone numbers with a predefined, static verification code, which is perfect for app reviews and testing. Session alerts will help your users maintain their account security.

We're excited to announce major improvements to Appwrite Functions, making them more versatile and powerful than ever before.
With the new functions, you can stay within the Appwrite ecosystem. The fully integrated features reduce friction points, allowing you to focus on development while trusting that your Functions will run smoothly and automatically.
Previously, Appwrite Functions faced limitations in handling file-based tasks and real-time operations due to slow synchronous execution and cumbersome API key management. With the introduction of easier Appwrite SDK integration within Functions, these constraints are lifted, opening doors to more use cases and more efficient workflows.
