-Object-based permissions work by filtering the database query generated by a user's request to restrict the set of objects returned.

For example, if the requested URL is `/dcim/devices/`, NetBox will check for the `dcim.view_device` permission.

-### Specifying Fields
+### Brief Format
 
-A REST API response will include all available fields for the object type by default. If you wish to return only a subset of the available fields, you can append `?fields=` to the URL followed by a comma-separated list of field names. For example, the following request will return only the `id`, `name`, `status`, and `region` fields for each site in the response.
+Most API endpoints support an optional "brief" format, which returns only a minimal representation of each object in the response. This is useful when you need only a list of available objects without any related data, such as when populating a drop-down list in a form. As an example, the default (complete) format of a prefix looks like this:
-
-```
-GET /api/dcim/sites/?fields=id,name,status,region
-```
-
-```json
-{
-    "id": 1,
-    "name": "DM-NYC",
-    "status": {
-        "value": "active",
-        "label": "Active"
-    },
-    "region": {
-        "id": 43,

-        "slug": "us-ny",
-        "description": "",
-        "site_count": 0,
-        "_depth": 2
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Similarly, you can opt to omit only specific fields by passing the `omit` parameter:
-
-```
-GET /api/dcim/sites/?omit=circuit_count,device_count,virtualmachine_count
-```
-
-!!! note "The `omit` parameter was introduced in NetBox v4.5.2."
-
-Strategic use of the `fields` and `omit` parameters can drastically improve REST API performance, as the exclusion of fields which reference related objects reduces the number and complexity of underlying database queries needed to generate the response.
-
-!!! note
-    The `fields` and `omit` parameters should be considered mutually exclusive. If both are passed, `fields` takes precedence.

-Consider adding a file named `COMPATIBILITY.md` to your plugin project root (alongside `pyproject.toml`).

 ## Create a Virtual Environment
 
 It is strongly recommended to create a Python [virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html) for the development of your plugin, as opposed to using system-wide packages. This will afford you complete control over the installed versions of all dependencies and avoid conflict with system packages. This environment can live wherever you'd like;however, it should be excluded from revision control. (A popular convention is to keep all virtual environments in the user's home directory, e.g. `~/.virtualenvs/`.)

 ## Database Migrations
 
 Once you have completed defining the model(s) for your plugin, you'll need to create the database schema migrations. A migration file is essentially a set of instructions for manipulating the PostgreSQL database to support your new model, or to alter existing models. Creating migrations can usually be done automatically using Django's `makemigrations` management command. (Ensure that your plugin has been installed and enabled first, otherwise it won't be found.)

+* GraphQL API queries which filter by object IDs or enums must now specify a filter lookup similar to other fields. (For example, `id: 123` becomes `id: {exact: 123 }`.)
 * Rendering a device or virtual machine configuration is now restricted to users with the `render_config` permission for the applicable object type.
 * Retrieval of API token plaintexts is no longer supported. The `ALLOW_TOKEN_RETRIEVAL` config parameter has been removed.
-* API tokens can no longer be reassigned from one user to another.
+* The owner of an API token can no longer be changed once it has been created.
-* A config context assigned to a platform will now also apply to any children of that platform. (Although this is typically desired behavior, it may introduce unanticipated changes for existing deployments.)
+* Config contexts now apply to all child platforms of a parent platform.
-* The `/api/dcim/cable-terminations/` REST API endpoint is now read-only. Cable terminations must be set on cables directly via the `/api/dcim/cables/` endpoint.
+* The `/api/extras/object-types/` REST API endpoint has been removed. (Use `/api/core/object-types/` instead.)

 ### New Features
 
 #### Lookup Modifiers in Filter Forms ([#7604](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/7604))
 
-Most object list filters within the UI have been extended to include optional lookup modifiers to support more complex queries. For instance, filters for numeric values now include a dropdown where a user can select "less than," "greater than," or "not" in addition to the default equivalency match. The specific modifiers available depend on the type of each filter. Plugins can register their own filtersets using the `register_filterset()` decorator to enable this new functionality.
-
-(Note that this feature does not introduce any new filters. Rather, it makes available in the UI filters which already exist.)
-
 #### Improved API Authentication Tokens ([#20210](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/20210))
 
-This release introduces a new version of API token (v2) which implements several security improvements. HMAC hashing with a cryptographic pepper is used to authenticate these tokens, obviating the need to store plaintexts. The new tokens also employ a non-sensitive key which can be shared to identify tokens without divulging their plaintexts. We've also adopted the standard "bearer" HTTP header format, as shown below.
-
-```
-# v1 token header
-Authorization: Token <TOKEN>
-
-# v2 token header
-Authorization: Bearer nbt_<KEY>.<TOKEN>
-```
-
-Note that v2 token keys are prefixed with the fixed string `nbt_`, which can be used to aid in secret detection.
-
-Backward compatibility with legacy (v1) tokens is retained in this release. However, users are strongly encouraged to begin using only v2 tokens, as support for legacy tokens will be removed in NetBox v4.7.
-
 #### Object Ownership ([#20304](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/20304))
 
-An optional `owner` foreign key field has been added to most models. This enables the assignment of objects to a new Owner model, which represents a set of users and/or groups. Through this relationship, we can now convey ownership of objects within NetBox natively, without needing to rely on the assignment of tags or custom fields.
-
-(Note that ownership differs significantly in function from tenancy. Ownership determines the parties responsible for the maintenance of an object, whereas as tenancy conveys an operational dependency.)
-
 #### Advanced Port Mappings ([#20564](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/20564))
 
-The previous many-to-one mapping of front to rear ports has been expanded to support bidirectional mappings. The `rear_port` and `rear_port_position` fields on the FrontPort model have been replaced with an intermediary PortMapping model, which supports any number of assignments between front port/position pair and a rear port/position pair. This change unlocks the ability to model complex inline devices that swap individual fiber pairs between cables.
-
 #### Cable Profiles ([#20788](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/20788))
 
-Cables can now be assigned profiles which determine how they are treated for path tracing. A profile indicates the number of discrete parallel channels or lanes carried by the cable among its endpoints. For example, a 1-to-4 breakout cable has four lanes, shared at one end via a common termination and split out at the other end to four separate terminations. Profiles, when assigned, enable NetBox to more accurately trace a specific connection within a cable, rather than the cable as a whole.
-
-The assignment of cable profiles is optional: Cable tracing will continue to operate as before for cables with no profile assigned.
