This Magento latest release includes 25+ security fixes that help close remote code execution as well as cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. Moreover, developers added a content security policy (CSP) and the removal of session-id from URLs to the release.

The following changes were applied to keep the website relevant to 3-party platforms:

• ✓ Compatibility with Elasticsearch 7.x

• ✓ Core integration of the Signifyd fraud protection code is deprecated
• ✓ Dependencies on Zend Framework are migrated to the Laminas project

The new Magento 2.3.5 version invalidates customer segment data better, which helps avoid an issue with local storage when custom sections.xml invalidations are active.

The number of queries to Redis that are performed on each Magento request is minimized, which significantly boosts the performance.

The PayPal Pro payment method is compatible with the Chrome 80 browser now. A PHPStan code analysis check has been integrated into Magento static builds to enhance static code analysis.

• ✓ Templates that can be created from existing content and applied to new content areas are added.
• ✓ Page Builder Rows, Banners, and Sliders now have the option to use videos for their backgrounds and a possibility to set their heights to the full height of the page.
• ✓ Content type upgrade library allows for backward compatibility.

The ability to view allocated inventory sources from the orders list is presented with a new extension point for SourceDataProvider and StockDataProvider.

Also, the Magento new release has stopped supporting Google Shopping ads Channel. You better find an alternative extension.
