56 {image:pdf2.png|document=ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise19M2}
57 - Changed the default font to FreeSerif, as it looks better on paper.
58 {image:pdf3.png|document=ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise19M2}
59 - Scaled images preserve the custom dimensions in PDFs also, with the exception that the aspect ratio is always preserved to be the same as the original image, and:
60 - Images are prevented from overflowing the paper, by being automatically scaled down to the maximum available space.
61 - The export works when running the container as a user with no home directory, since now the cache is correctly created in the temporary directory.
62 - A few style changes.

69 In 1.9M2 the SMTP setting (username, password, server port, and extra Javamail properties which allow to enable SSL) are easier to configure (now accessible in the Administration -&gt; General tab), and are by default visible in the wiki. Previously, they had to be manually added to the ~~XWiki.XWikiPreferences~~ class. These settings are also used with the registration confirmation email.
