As always, this release contains the bugfixes of the latest Contao 4.13.35. In addition, fewer unnecessary CSRF cookies are set, which improves HTTP caching and the crawling of protected pages from within the back end has been improved. This is a release with massive performance improvements! Especially in combination with the version 6.4.0 of the symfony/http-foundation component released yesterday, page views can be up to 20% faster. An update is therefore recommended.
