+## Version 3.5.0 Release Notes
+
+Compatible with OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards version 3.5.0
+
+### Maintenance
+* Consuming performance-analyzer-commons 2.1.1 on JDK21 with all versions bumped for OpenSearch 3.5 release. Takes in the following changes for 3.5 release.
+    - https://github.com/opensearch-project/performance-analyzer-commons/pull/116 
+    - https://github.com/opensearch-project/performance-analyzer-commons/pull/117
+
+* Jackson core and annotations have different minor versions in OpenSearch-3.5.0 snapshot. Since we're using the same variable for both, build fails with invalid version. Using the version as per 3.5 snapshot.
