**Type:** Announcement

## Summary

Seven months into development, Supabase announced a series of platform updates across authentication, database tooling, and client libraries. The release introduced OAuth logins supporting Bitbucket, GitHub, GitLab, and Google, alongside table cloning and one-click Postgres extension management. In the SQL editor, users can now save favorite queries and access locally stored query histories directly within the browser. The web dashboard adopted Next.js automatic static optimization for improved responsiveness, while postgrest-js migrated to TypeScript and an isomorphic gotrue-js TypeScript library was built for Netlify GoTrue integration. Supabase is prioritizing a transition from Alpha to Beta by tracking open-source tool performance in a dedicated benchmarks repository.
