Elasticsearch 2.3.5, based on Lucene 5.5.0, has been released, focusing exclusively on bug fixes for Marvel, Watcher, and Shield without altering the core Elasticsearch. The update is immediately available for deployment on Elastic Cloud, the Elasticsearch-as-a-service platform. Notably, the update ensures that Shield functions correctly with Tribe Nodes. Users are encouraged to download the new version, provide feedback on Twitter or the forum, and report any issues on the GitHub issues page. Detailed changes are documented in the release notes for Elasticsearch and related components.
