Previously, a retention policy could be associated with both the custom object that you explicitly set it for and another custom object with a similar key prefix. This behavior no longer happens.
Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience, Salesforce Classic, and all versions of the mobile app in Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited editions.
Who: Field Audit Trail is available to customers who purchased a Salesforce Shield or Salesforce Field Audit Trail add-on subscription.
How: A key prefix is the three-character code in an object ID that specifies the object type, such as 001 for Account. Let’s say you previously created two custom objects, Object1 and Object2, whose key prefixes differ only in their case sensitivity, such as a0B and a0b. You then defined a retention policy for Object1 but not Object2. Salesforce used to associate the same retention policy with Object2. Starting in this release, Salesforce no longer associates the policy with Object2.
Retention Policy Now Associated with Only One Custom Object (salesforce.com)
When you set a retention policy on an object, Salesforce no longer sets the same policy for a different object with a similar key prefix.
Now generally available, Threat Detection integration with Security Center helps you understand threat event trends and plan your responses accordingly. You can view aggregated data about threat events for single and multiple orgs, and drill in to event details right from the Security Center app.
Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
Who: This change is available to customers who purchase Salesforce Shield or Salesforce Event Monitoring add-on subscriptions.

Where: This change applies to Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
