What's Really Coming in Release Wave 1 2025: AI Hype And A New Security Threat

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.
