Orgs are Required to Have a Default No-Reply Organization-Wide Email Address
Previously, if an org did not have a verified Default No-reply address, automated system email notifications for things such as Case Comments, Case Escalations, or Case Assignments would be sent from noreply@salesforce.com.
However, to comply with increased email security standards, orgs will be required to create and verify a Default No-reply address in Organization-Wide Email Address settings. Not doing so may cause some automated emails to fail. Salesforce will introduce this requirement in Summer ‘24 with plans to enforce it in Winter ‘25 (August-September 2024).

New Setup Domain
Salesforce Setup pages will now be hosted on a different domain. If your users have general access to the internet, no action is required. However, if your company controls users’ or servers’ access to the internet through firewalls or allowlists, your IT department must add *.salesforce-setup.com to the company’s list of allowed domains.
Changes to Internal Design System Architecture
Salesforce is modifying the internal implementation of Salesforce Lightning Design System (SLDS) styles, custom properties, and Salesforce Lightning components, including standard components in site templates. For most orgs this will have no impact. However, if you use CSS override to further customize Experience Cloud components, they may be impacted.
When are these features coming?
Salesforce will roll out the Summer ‘24 release to production orgs on the weekend of May 17, 2024, June 7, 2024, and June 14, 2024.
Users with an active sandbox on a preview instance received early access to the Summer ‘24 features starting May 10, 2024.
