## Version 4.0.0 {#version-4-0-0}

The removal of the local category system requires the execution of a migration script, so existing
categories will get migrated to sys_category entries. Please use the update script in the extension
manager to process the migration as shown below.

Please click on the update-icon to start the category migration.

## Version 3.0.0 {#version-3-0-0}

The extension now has the default setting `falMedia = 1` in the extension settings. Make sure,
that you manually migrate images and flash files for image- and flash-banners manually.

If you still want to use non-FAL files for banners, you can switch off the falMedia setting in
the extension settings. Note, that this option will be removed in the next major version of the
extension!

## Version 1.0.0 {#version-1-0-0}

The inclusion of JavaScript libraries has moved to the page footer by using `page.includeJSFooter`.
Due to this change, you may have to update your JavaScript includes in TypoScript. This only applies,
if you have overwritten the original `page.includeJS` inclusions.
