Besides fixes to existing packages, the following has changed since
9-
CGAL 4.5:
8+
Version 4.6.2 is a bug-fix release for version 4.6. The list of fixed bugs
9+
can be seen Github:

11-
o 2D Polyline Simplification (new package)
11+
- fixed in CGAL-4.6.2:
1212

13-
This package enables to simplify polylines with the guarantee
14-
that the topology of the polylines does not change. This can be
15-
done for a single polyline as well as for a set of polyline
16-
constraints in a constrained triangulation. The simplification
17-
can be controlled with cost and stop functions.

o 2D Generalized Barycentric Coordinates (new package)
16+
- fixed earlier in CGAL-4.6.1:
2117

22-
This package offers an efficient and robust implementation of two-
23-
dimensional closed-form generalized barycentric coordinates defined for
24-
simple two-dimensional polygons.

o Scale-Space Surface Reconstruction (new package)
28-
29-
This new package provides a class gathering a dedicated smoothing
30-
algorithm and some convenience functions to help the creation of a
31-
surface out of a point set using the 3D Alpha Shapes package. The
32-
particularity of this reconstruction pipeline is that the input point
33-
are in the output and no new points are created. Note that in the
34-
current version, the output is a triangle soup that is not necessarily
35-
a valid (manifold) polyhedral surface.
36-
37-
38-
o Surface Mesh (new package)
39-
40-
The surface mesh class provided by this package is an implementation of
41-
the halfedge data structure allowing to represent polyhedral surfaces.
42-
It is an alternative to the packages CGAL::Polyhedron_3 and
43-
CGAL::HalfedgeDS.
44-
45-
46-
o dD Triangulation (new package)
47-
48-
This new package provides classes for manipulating triangulations in
49-
Euclidean spaces whose dimension can be specified at compile-time or at
50-
run-time. It also provides a class that represents Delaunay
51-
triangulations.
52-
53-
o 2D Triangulations
54-
55-
The class Constrained_triangulation_plus_2 now can handle polylines as
56-
constraints.
57-
58-
59-
o Spatial Searching
60-
61-
- Improved performance of Orthogonal_k_neighbor_search.
62-
63-
- Breaking change: The concept OrthogonalDistance has new function
64-
overloads for min_distance_to_rectangle and max_distance_to_rectangle
65-
with an additional reference parameter std::vector.
