prepare release 4.6.2
What changed, and why it matters
This commit is a routine release-preparation change. It only updates the version number from 4.6.1 to 4.6.2 and adds release notes describing many bug fixes and minor features. There is no code change that could directly introduce or fix a security vulnerability in this specific commit.
No action needed for this commit itself. Review the individual referenced pull requests (e.g., #10153, #10128, #10145, #10108, #10109, #10123) if assessing the security of the 4.6.2 release as a whole.
Security signals we found
