All the items mentioned in the changelog are self explanatory. Face Unlock v2 is an enhanced version of facial recognition we have seen in previous releases of AospExtended. And as you would expect, the v2 is faster than the last generation. Face unlock will work in the ROM only if you use a variant of Gapps that supports it. In case you go with Open Gapps, make sure to not select the Micro package as it lacks the libraries required for facial recognition to work. All other variants of Open Gapps support face unlock.

AospExtended v6.2 was available for the Redmi 4X at the time of writing. As always, there is no ETA for when the ROM will be available for your device but if your phone or tablet is supported officially, you can expect a v6.2 build in the coming days. The download links can be found here.
