As a result, configuration changes from updates 3.0.11 and 3.1.0 will be reapplied. These changes include the deactivation of "Debug Logging", enabling "Automatic Update" for all Borlabs Cookie versions, and change of the email recipients for automatic package updates.

- IMPROVED Services in the dialog are now ordered by position and then alphabetically. Since in most cases all services have position 0, the list of services should be alphabetical.

Version 3.0.11, June 4, 2024
- IMPROVED The option "Automatic Update" has been extended by the option "Patch versions". The configuration of automatic updates is now only possible via the Borlabs Cookie dashboard.

This update also disables "Debug Logging", as some customers inadvertently enable this setting without understanding its purpose, leading to unnoticed database overflow.
