When selecting a layer and dragging a corner handle with the shift (or alt-shift) key pressed, the resize proportion isn't constrained. This started with this most recent update.

Does the Photoshop team even talk to each other?

This change is driving me nuts too, especially since it's not the same in Illustrator. Over the years I've been annoyed by inconsistencies between the Photoshop and Illustrator keyboard controls, but this is the worst yet.Don't the Photoshop and Illustrator teams talk to each other?

@1049674: yep, but not just those two "photographers"...their subscribers too, which are not professionals in any field that uses PS.

I am a professional photographer too, but I barely ever use Lightroom. I started with Photoshop and every time I am in Lightroom I am looking for tools that are only in Photoshop, so I have almost zero use for it in what I do. But for their amateur subscribers Lightroom is more than enough and has plenty of ways to resize/crop stuff. 

I also design graphics and I actually started with designing graphics in PS back in 1998, I started with photography some 7 years later, so I spend my whole day in Photoshop doing all sorts of things, so to have amateurs dictate major changes like this was super shitty and disrespectful towards professionals in general. 

Kelby promotes crossing the line non stop! He screams "shoot like a pro" to anyone who'd listen with disregard of any work ethic boundaries. It's a shame, but he has no respect for professionals in both graphic design or photography.

So we have to thank two photographers for fundamental workflow changes to the "staple DTP and graphic design" software that almost every print and screen designer uses for creation and manipulation of their graphics ... 

and in adobes own words - 

Photoshop - If you can think it, you can make it with Photoshop CC, the world’s best imaging and graphic design software. Create and enhance photographs, illustrations, and 3D artwork. Design websites and mobile apps. Edit videos, simulate real-life paintings, and more. It’s everything you need to make any idea real.

Lightroom - The cloud-based service for people who love photography, Lightroom CC gives you everything you need to edit, organize, store, and share your photos across desktop, mobile, and web.

the phrase "Stay in your lane" springs to mind ... 

An absolute joke ...

I was calling Terry White out on marketing double-talk over 20 years ago.

I would be happy to "Thank" Scott Kelby, whom I view as an opportunistic Adobe lap dog!

All you can do Paul/Nolan at this point is send your "Thanks" to Terry White & Scott Kelby and their minions for suggesting this without any shred of consideration towards working professionals and their work flows.
