Also added to the default template, Word sections for cover page, front matter and landscape pages. DOCX files now display the template version in the **Status** property under **File \> Info** in Word. To use the correct Word section, a custom `word-export-config.xml` may need to add \<document wordsection="3" /\> to the config just under `<elements>`. | 967838 | 10 Jan 2025 | 6.2-beta-1 | | **Modified:** the database as follows: Add the `AUTHENTICATOR` table for multi-factor authentication.Add a unique constraint on the `Name` field in the `HOSTALIAS` table to improve integrity.Remove from the `CONTENT` table, the unused `Role`, `Title `and `Label` fields.Remove from the `URI` table, the unused `Status` field.Remove from the `XLINK` table, the unused `ShowDefault `and `ActuateDefault `fields.Ensure new PageSeeder servers use the `utf8mb4` charset after the deprecation of `utf8` in MySQL 8. **BEFORE **upgrading, backup the database and **CHECK** that the free disk space is at least equal to the database size using a command similar to: du -sh /opt/mysql When upgrading, expect 30 minutes of downtime, or more, depending on the size of the database. | 944659 | 8 Jan 2025 | 6.2-beta-1 | | **Added: **to Schematron support for `ps:resource?location=x` URL to get template resources. Also added a sample, general bundle Schematron quickfix to check the `word-export-config.xml` against a publication and remove unused block labels. | 966211 | 17 Dec 2024 | 6.2-beta-1 | | **Added: **email notifications sent to new and previous addresses after changing. | 603469 | 2 Dec 2024 | 6.2-beta-1 | | **Fixed: **quickfix fragment labels not defaulting to transformed `*fragment/@labels` attribute.

Users will not be able to run custom scripts on the publication root until the `<source type="publication">` is set. Unless they untick "Export/Publish/Process the whole publication". | 930590 | 25 Nov 2024 | 6.2-beta-1 | | **Added: **support for `csrfMode` global property which determines if non-GET requests require an `Anti-CSRF-Token` header/parameter as follows: `enforce` – means required,`partial` – means required except for legacy API requests,`disable` – means not required.Adding a `-log` suffix means that all requests without the correct token are logged as warnings (default is `partial-log`). All [scheduled publish](../../../reference/glossary/scheduled_jobs.md) scripts accessing the local PageSeeder must specify `target/@username` instead of specifying username/password in a properties file. All remote scripts accessing PageSeeder must use OAuth client [config properties](../../publishing/ant_api/tasks/task_config.md). All apps should use OAuth to access PageSeeder. | 922819 | 15 Nov 2024 | 6.2-beta-1 | | **Fixed: **cookies not setting `SameSite=lax`.
