What's New in WHMCS 6.2.2
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.
