Now available: Disable HTML Sanitizer as required
HTML Sanitizer
A new feature HTML Sanitizer was introduced by Shopware 6.5. With this, you can improve the editor’s reliability, security, and usability by removing unsafe HTML code. And to ensure the correct rendering and consistency of the code across different platforms and browsers, the sanitizer also cleans up attributes and styles.
Disable HTML Sanitizer
Many users faced difficulty working with the feature HTML Sanitizer as it removes custom styles from blocks in Shopping Experiences.
” From now on, Shopware said developers can completely disable the sanitizer via a flag in YAML configuration.“

New: Combine Events from Apps with The Flow Builder.
One more feature has been added to the Flow Builder. With the help of this, you can now use the app system to add your own triggers to the Flow Builder.
