With essential updates for security and productivity, the recommendation is that merchants upgrade as soon as possible so their sites stay secure and optimized for the best performance.
Magento Commerce and Magento Open Source 2.3.2
Below are some of the improvements made in these releases.
Security: security of the platform is fundamental for large e-commerce operations. The improvements in this release include Adobe’s use of sophisticated tools to carry out a range of security enhancements. The Adobe HackerOne bug bounty program also has a very wide reach, and it was essential to the gains in security.
Performance: performance saw an extraordinary improvement as well. Store page load time got 20% faster, which matters while a user is browsing, because it can decide whether they stay on the page and even whether they complete a purchase. Another improvement is the simultaneous loading of product images together with the content of another page. For merchants with complex catalogs, navigation became much lighter, with speed improvements of up to 90%.
Productivity: Imagine being able to work in the background while other tasks keep running. That is one of the new capabilities in this release. Several actions run as asynchronous background processes, so administrators can carry out many functions at the same time. That raises productivity, because saving time and running several functions at once is essential in day-to-day work.
Quality: Quality was part of the same set of improvements. More than 130 enhancements were made in areas considered critical on the platform, considerably improving product quality.
Another change: with the support window expiring, Magento 2.1 will no longer receive security updates or product quality fixes from June 30.
Improvements planned for the second quarter. Improvements to the cloud platform and to the Page Builder content tool landed during the second quarter.
Improvements in monitoring and development of the cloud platform. Now available for Magento Commerce Pro, New Relic Infrastructure gives merchants dynamic, flexible server monitoring. Continuous improvements were also introduced in the cloud developer experience, including better local development using Docker and expanded self-service environment configuration, which support reliable deployments and shorten startup time.
Page Builder and content migration tools. The newly released content migration module helps merchants moving from the BlueFoot extension update to Magento Commerce 2.3.1+ with Page Builder, without the risk of losing site content.
