In the first episode of 2025, Nick and George break down Release Wave 1 2025 for Power Pages, separating real improvements from underwhelming updates. AI features take center stage, but do they actually add value? Discussion covers AI-assisted forms, web agents, and natural language queries, questioning their usefulness in real-world applications. Modern lists get long-awaited updates, including JavaScript event support and metadata filters, finally closing gaps with classic lists. The ongoing file upload saga resurfaces, and the new virus scanning feature raises questions about effectiveness. A streamlined Microsoft Entra ID setup wizard promises easier authentication setup, but handling failed logins remains tricky. A surprising security threat in social logins also comes up — cross-IdP impersonation —where external authenticator can let attackers register an account with someone else’s corporate email. With event portals moving from outbound marketing to Power Pages, the clock ticks toward a July 2025 deadline for migration. Anyone still using the old Angular-based event sites needs to start planning now. Want to know what’s missing from this release? A wishlist of features Power Pages actually needs is coming next time. Don’t miss it!
