Doc: Update What's new in 6.2 in time for 6.2.1

Certain information was added to the wiki [0] after the creation
of the What's new in 6.2 documentation page, and didn't end up
in the official docs with the 6.2.0 relase. This patch seeks to
remedy that by including the information from the wiki that was
left out.
