This update requires no additional steps.

Applying the incremental patch version to an existing 6.2.1 installation will perform an automated version bump and require no upgrade process to be performed.

Release Notes

• CORE-9439 - Health Check: Add iconv to recommended php extensions
  We now recommend the PHP iconv extension for optimal handling of emails authored with non-latin characters. Without it, emails received in a foreign charset cannot be converted to your local system charset.
  
  
• CORE-9490 - Health Check: Introduce warning for Older Versions of MySQL
  A new health check has been introduced that will detect if you are running a version of MySQL that does not support 4-byte utf8 characters. 4-byte utf8 is important if you require support for emojis and some non-latin characters. We strongly recommend upgrading to MySQL 5.5 or higher.
  
  
• CORE-9506 - Create credit log entry when providing an initial credit balance on adding clients
  In WHMCS 6.2.2 and later, when creating a client and specifying an opening credit balance for that new client account, a credit log entry will be created.
  
  
• CORE-9512 - Add option to remove extended UTF-8 characters
  Version 6.2.2 introduces a new setting called "Remove Extended UTF-8 Characters". This setting is on by default. You should only disable this setting if you're using the utf8mb4 MySQL connection charset and utf8mb4_unicode_ci table collation.
  
  

Template Changes

There are no template changes in the 6.2.2 release.
