## Release Notes

#### July 2026

***

## Platform Improvements

### Ubuntu 24.04 Upgrade

Lucy infrastructure images have been upgraded to **Ubuntu 24.04** for both development and production environments.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Upgrading from Lucy 5.7.6 to Lucy 6.0 requires a server migration for **on-premise deployments**. If you are running Lucy on-premise, please follow the [migration guide](/guides/installing-lucy/installing-lucy/upgrading-to-lucy-6.0.md) before upgrading.
{% endhint %}

#### Benefits

* Improved system stability
* Enhanced platform security
* Long-term support (LTS) compatibility
* Better foundation for future platform enhancements

***

## New Features

### Vonage Smishing Provider

Lucy now supports **Vonage** as an SMS (Smishing) provider. When creating a [smishing campaign](/guides/attack-simulations/attack-types/smishing.md), administrators can select Vonage as the SMS provider, enabling more reliable and scalable SMS phishing simulations with improved message delivery and routing across regions.

***

### Client Feedback Collection

A new feedback feature allows users to submit ideas and suggestions directly from within the platform using the feedback icon located in the bottom-left corner of the interface.

***

### System Notification Alerts

Lucy now displays [system notification](/application-reference/notifications.md) alerts to inform administrators about missing configurations or critical system settings, improving operational visibility and helping identify issues sooner.

***

### Portal Theme Color Customization

Organizations can now customize portal theme colors in [white-label environments](/application-reference/settings/whitelabeling.md), allowing partners and resellers to better align the platform with their branding.

***

## Template Management

### End-User Language Selection

Previously, administrators were required to assign a language to each group of users. When using multi-language templates, administrators can now enable a campaign setting that allows [end users](/application-reference/campaigns/campaign-settings/main-settings/awareness-education/end-users.md) to choose their preferred language directly from the awareness template.

This provides a more personalized training experience while reducing administrative effort.

***

### Improved Template Management

Several enhancements have been made to simplify template organization and campaign preparation.

#### New filters

* **Used / Unused** filter to quickly identify templates currently in use.
* **Modern / Legacy** filter for easier template organization.

#### Additional improvements

* Improved Mail Manager selection options for greater control over template usage.

***

## Security & Access Control

### Authenticator App-Based Two-Factor Authentication

Lucy now supports two-factor authentication using authenticator applications.

***

### End-User 2FA Management

Administrators can now manage or disable two-factor authentication for end users, providing greater flexibility when enforcing authentication policies.

***

### Permission Management Enhancements

Permission management has been expanded with additional [administrative controls](/application-reference/users/administrative-users.md#administrative-permission-list), including:

* Separate permissions for **End User Management** and **End User Portal Settings**.
* Permission-based access to SSL certificate management.
* Improved control over automatic backup configuration.

***

## Autoresponder Improvements

The [autoresponder](/application-reference/settings/submitted-email-settings/incident-autoresponder.md) system has been expanded with:

* Multi-language support.
* Client-specific configuration options.

These improvements make phishing simulations and awareness workflows easier to deploy across international environments.

***

## User Management

### Redesigned User Administration

The User CRUD interface has been redesigned to provide a cleaner and more structured administration experience.

#### Improvements

* Updated **Add User** and **Edit User** interface.
* Permissions organized into three dedicated tabs.
* Support for multi-checkbox custom fields.

These enhancements simplify user administration and improve usability when managing complex user configurations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.lucysecurity.com/release-notes/6.0.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
