For many of our customers, these feature releases are more significant than say GSA unification since they only have a single GSA.

Metadata Base64 Encoding

In software release 6.2, you can now base64 encode both metadata names and metadata values.

 <record url=<a href="http://www.mcplusa.com">http://www.mcplusa.com</a> action="add" mimetype="text/html">
<metadata>
<meta encoding="base64binary" name="acdJvamFXQWjdF9uWEXl" content="asdfLKZUoiuoiasdfmoaioeit">
</metadata>
</record>

Note: the correct encoding attribute is base64binary and not base64 as Google’s documentation states.
