Ghostwriter v6.2.0

Summary

This release adds support for footnotes in the collaborative editor and fixes some reported issues. The largest changes are adjustments to the Docker files to address some issues reported by users with Docker v20+ in some environments. These changes also set the stage for using published images going forward in an upcoming release.

CHANGELOG

[6.2.0] - 8 January 2026

Added

• Added support for inserting footnote objects in the collaborative editor (PR #783)
  • Footnotes will appear in the editor as they do in Word (e.g., as superscript numbers)
  • The text you set for your footnote will appear in Word as your footnote text
  • We recommend adding Word's Footnote Reference and Footnote Text styles to templates, but this is not required

Changed

• Updated Docker files to remove some of the exposed ports (Fixes #768)
  • Removing the exposed ports addresses issues some individuals experienced with Docker v20
  • The removal also generally improves security by closing ports that do not need to be exposed by default
  • This change may adversely affect anyone who uses the PostgreSQL port for remote administration
  • Users may choose to re-expose ports, but you can execute pgsql commands inside the container
  • This is a precursor to a larger change coming that introduces published Docker images
• Adjusted the dark mode colors for inactive tabs to improve blending

Fixed

• Fixed some fields not appearing with a WYSIWYG editor when adding them as a new formset
