Hi Enrico,

I checked the release, you are right. I mainly did the comparison with the
3.5.6 release as there were no changes on file/dependency level really. All
of these points stand for that release as well. That's why I didn't notice
or thought of it as release breaking flaw.

In my opinion, we should definitely create a jira to fix these for the
next 3.5 release, and just go forward with 3.5.7. This is a bugfix release,
and it does fix a few critical bugs and thirdparty CVEs.
None of this was introduced with this bugfix version, so from my point of
view these are not breaking content errors.

On the other hand I am biased I guess due to the fact I made the release :)
So knowing this let me know if anyone thinks this is a -1 for rc1.

Thanks,
Norbert
