+# Azure Cloud Shell release notes
+
+The following document outlines the changes to Azure Cloud Shell. The Cloud Shell container image is
+updated on a monthly basis to reflect the latest changes. Changes can include new or updated
+features and tools, security updates, and bug fixes.
+
+## May 2024
+
+### New features
+
+- Updated user interface
+
+  Cloud Shell recently updated the user interface for the Cloud Shell terminal window. The new
+  toolbar uses text-based menu items rather than icons, making it easier to find the desired action.
+
+  For more information, see
+  [How to use the new user interface for Azure Cloud Shell](new-ui-shell-window.md).
+
+- Support for ephemeral sessions
+
+  Ephemeral sessions don't require a storage account. You can upload or create new files in your
+  Cloud Shell session. Those files are removed shortly after the window is closed or when Cloud
+  Shell is restarted.
+
+  For more information, see
+  [Get started with Azure Cloud Shell ephemeral sessions](./get-started/ephemeral.md?tabs=powershell).
+
+### Deprecated Packages
+
+The following packages were removed for security compliance. These packages were deprecated by the
+package owners or are no longer maintained. If you need to use these tools, you can install them in
+your Cloud Shell session. For installation instructions, consult the documentation for the package
+you require.
