Magento is back with its new update on June 27th ‘18. Too soon to be here, Magento is already on a roll!

It has been a short while that Magento 2.2.4 was launched and we are already in the era of Magento 2.2.5. The version is out to fix the unfixed issues in its previous version along with new security advancements. The prime focus of this Magento release is entirely on product security and bug fixes.

Magento Open Source 2.2.5 and Magento Commerce 2.2.5 are out for the merchants to upgrade their web portals to the recent version of Magento and maximize their benefits. It is believed that the latest version of Magento has overcome the bugs found in its 2.2.4 version. Mesmerizingly, more than 150 bug fixes were contributed by the Magento community, and explicit security enhancements are found in the recent release of Magento. Moreover, Magento highly supports its potential users to upgrade to its latest version to foreclose any hindrance in admin control or customer information.

Now, let us have a detailed analysis of the new features added in Magento 2.2.5 release and how it can help protect your websites from any imminent threat!

3. Improved indexing performance

5. Over 150 contributions by the community
6. The developed core code of Magento:

6.1. Merchants are now able to run catalog search full-text indexer and category product indexer in parallel mode by store view that significantly reduces the execution time when running Magento with multiple stores and shared catalogs.
6.2. Restructuring of catalog full-text indexer has effectively improved index performance by 15% for large profiles and products catalogs with many configurable options.
6.3. Enhancements in swatch product attribute improved the overall performance of search result pages up to 31% for catalogs with multiple configurable product options

Enhancements: Magento 2.2.5

1. Core Returns: Merchants will now be able to select carriers to use for returns and send a return label along with forwarding fulfillment with core returns.
2. Batch Processing: Improvement in merchant efficiency as it simplifies the processing of large shipments in the form of batches thereby increasing automation.
3. Collection points: Provides the customers with the ability to choose drop points instead of giving residential addresses for delivery.

Apart from these significant enhancements, there are some minor improvements, which include pagination improving the Admin experience and multi-version API.

Besides security enhancements, the latest release contains some bug fixes too.
