Until then, here's a few new things to try. This is also available as a [blog post](https://supabase.io/blog/2021/08/12/supabase-beta-july-2021) and a [video demo](https://youtu.be/Vj5fPA-vjfw). ## Launch Week II: The SQL Following the success of our first Launch Week in March, we finished the July with "[Launch Week II: The SQL](/blog/2021/07/22/supabase-launch-week-sql)". The community has been sieving through a slew of bad puns and retro memes to discover the new feature announcements. ![supabase-launch-the-sql](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10214025/129207475-a9e0c892-b925-4e06-ae62-167f2364080f.png) ## Auth v2 with Phone Auth Your users can now log in with SMS based mobile auth! We have a Twilio integration ([Guide Here](https://supabase.io/docs/guides/auth/auth-twilio)) and will be adding more providers soon. Other Auth updating include, Twitch logins, and the ability to generate invite, recovery, confirmation, and magic links via the API, for people who want more control over the email templating flow. Read the [blog post here](https://supabase.io/blog/2021/07/28/supabase-auth-passwordless-sms-login). ![verify-phone](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10214025/129207530-03fa5f35-670c-4224-9725-d959031ecb46.jpg) ## Storage is now in Beta Storage updates include Media Streaming, Public Buckets, Directory Uploads, and a Performance Improvements. Streaming Media in particular opens up a whole new host of potential use cases, learn more about the [updates here](https://supabase.io/blog/2021/07/27/storage-beta). ![storage](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10214025/129207560-8ad3f906-32b6-4821-9680-490cd0929d93.png) ## Dashboard v2 We made some major new additions to the dashboard including usage statistics, a new project home, and tons of database insights. Check the [post here](https://supabase.io/blog/2021/07/29/supabase-reports-and-metrics) on what you get and how we built it. ![dashboards](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10214025/129207576-44b2e771-63f9-490c-a3a0-f3c3d9893799.png) ## We launched a Discord server You'll find us hanging out regularly in the #hangout channel. We even "live-fixed" some production errors in there on Monday night (which occurred literally 1 hour before our first announcement of the week! Typical!). We're fast approaching 1,500 members so come and join the action! [discord.supabase.com](https://discord.supabase.com) ![discord](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10214025/129207603-4629df22-0c8b-48a4-8115-a1e6541ed23a.png) ## PostgreSQL 13 All new Supabase projects will be launched with PostgreSQL 13.3, and we're working on a migration path for old projects. This gives you [looooaads of new stuff out the box](https://supabase.io/blog/2021/07/26/supabase-postgres-13). ![postgres-13](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10214025/129207633-f1845514-60e0-4c10-9953-0ff935ec1db9.png) ## PostgREST v8.0 We worked with our friends at [PostgREST](https://postgrest.org/) to make some [huge improvements](https://supabase.io/blog/2021/07/26/supabase-community-day#postgrest-version-80). For those of you who don't know, every Supabase instance comes with a dedicated PostgREST server by default, which provides the auto-generated CRUD API that we wrap with `supabase-js`. ![postgrest-8](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10214025/129207646-6407b852-4c68-47ca-b731-ffbf411420c5.png) ## Flutter/Dart support Our community driven libs for the fasted growing mobile and web framework are now in beta.
