+## [Unreleased]
+
+## [0.5.0] - 2025-11-11
+
+### Added
+
+- Introduced the `permissions_refresh_id` input plus the `null_resource.force_permissions_refresh`/`null_resource.grant_permissions` helpers so you can rerun the proxy/grant scripts without recreating users.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Reworked the resource lifecycles so proxy start/kill and permission scripts are re-executed whenever `permissions_refresh_id` changes.
+- Hardened the Cloud SQL proxy helper scripts: better logging, explicit dependency checks (mysql/nc/proxy), use of the v2 proxy CLI syntax, and safer shutdown handling.
+- Enhanced `execute_sql.sh` so MySQL 8.0/8.4 users have the `cloudsqlsuperuser` role removed, default roles cleared, and only database-scoped privileges granted.
+- Documentation updates: clarify Cloud SQL Auth Proxy v2 requirement, mention MySQL 8.4 support.

 # Terraform module for creating database and associated user on an existing Google CloudSQL instance
 
-This module creates database and users on an existing CloudSQL instance. The structure of the input variable is designed so that the database/user ratio is 1:1, so the module not only takes care of creating the database and its user, but also sets permissions on the user so that it has access to only the database for which it is responsible.
+This module creates databases and users on an existing CloudSQL instance. The structure of the input variable enforces a 1:1 database/user ratio. The module both creates each pair and applies the required permissions so that the user can access only its database.
 
-To enforce permissions, the module executes SQL commands with the mysql cli, which is therefore a prerequisite (it must be present in the filesystem where terraform apply is executed).
+To enforce permissions, the module executes SQL commands through the MySQL CLI, which therefore must be installed on the machine running `terraform apply`. The bundled proxy helper scripts rely on the [Cloud SQL Auth Proxy **v2** command syntax](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/connect-auth-proxy), so make sure you install proxy version 2.x (the newer `${CLOUDSQL_PROXY_BIN} \"${CONNECTION_NAME}\" --port ...` invocation) rather than the legacy 1.x binary that used `-instances=` flags.
 
-In addition, the script must be able to connect to the CloudSQL instance. In case this is not easily accessible from the terraform cli, the module is able to:
+For MySQL 8.x instances, the module automatically removes the default `cloudsqlsuperuser` role, clears any global privileges and assigns the target database as the only default role so that new users are scoped exclusively to their database.
 
-1. Start an instance of [CloudSQL Auth Proxy](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/sql-proxy), for this purpose two null resources will be created for each user added to the database, enabling this option requires the [presence of the proxy executable](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/sql-proxy) in the filesystem where `terraform apply` is executed.
-2. Connect from a [CloudSQL Auth Proxy](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/sql-proxy) instance not present in the filesystem.
+If you ever need to rerun all local scripts (start proxy → grant privileges → stop proxy) without recreating the module-managed users, set a different value for the `permissions_refresh_id` variable (use `YYYYMMDD` or `YYYYMMDDHHMM`, e.g. `20251110` or `202511101030`) and run `terraform apply`; changing the value forces Terraform to recreate the null resources that execute those scripts while keeping the `google_sql_user` resources in place (see `examples/main.tf` for a ready-to-use snippet).
+
+In addition, the module must be able to connect to the CloudSQL instance. If the instance is not directly reachable from the machine running `terraform apply`, the module can:
+
+1. Start a local instance of [CloudSQL Auth Proxy](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/sql-proxy). This creates two null resources per user and requires the [proxy executable](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/sql-proxy) to be present on the machine running `terraform apply`.
+2. Connect through an existing [CloudSQL Auth Proxy](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/sql-proxy) instance that is already running elsewhere (outside this module).
