+# Percona XtraBackup 8.0.35-36 (2026-06-04)
+
+Get started with [Quickstart Guide for Percona XtraBackup](..//..//quickstart-overview.md).
+
+## Supported versions
+
+Starting with Percona XtraBackup 8.0.34, you can take backups of Percona Server for MySQL and MySQL version 8.0.34 or later within the 8.0.x series.
+
+Check the latest list of all [Supported versions](..//..//supported-versions.md).
+
+## Release highlights
+
+Percona XtraBackup 8.0.35-36 release includes improvements and bug fixes.
+
+* Percona XtraBackup adds support for Azure Storage accounts with [Hierarchical Namespace (HNS)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/data-lake-storage-namespace) enabled in `xbcloud delete`. Percona XtraBackup now correctly removes backups from Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 environments where deletion previously failed due to unsupported HNS behavior.
+
+* Percona XtraBackup improves sparse file handling efficiency by removing redundant `fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE)` calls from `local_write_sparse`.
+
+We recommend that you download the Percona XtraBackup for the same architecture as the MySQL-compatible server. For example, if your server is on an ARM64 platform, you should download and use the Percona XtraBackup for ARM64 for that operating system.
+
+## Improvements
+
+* [PXB-3643](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PXB-3643): Adds support for Azure Storage accounts with [Hierarchical Namespace (HNS)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/data-lake-storage-namespace) enabled in `xbcloud delete`. Percona XtraBackup now correctly removes backups from Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 environments where deletion previously failed due to unsupported HNS behavior.
+
+* [PXB-3658](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PXB-3658): Improves sparse file handling efficiency by removing redundant `fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE)` calls from `local_write_sparse`.
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+* [PXB-3568](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PXB-3568): Fixed an issue where `xtrabackup` terminated unexpectedly on RHEL 9 when using `--compress=lz4`.
+
+* [PXB-3759](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PXB-3759): Fixed an issue where `xtrabackup` terminated unexpectedly when redo log encryption was enabled and `innodb_log_buffer_size` exceeded 16 MB.
+
+## Packaging notes
+
+* Percona XtraBackup 8.0 adds support for Ubuntu 26.04.
