Note

At each update, databases, infrastructure services, or shared libraries are upgraded as required to improve stability and performance or eliminate vulnerabilities. Here is the current list of shared libraries available for use in ZenPacks.

October

This cosmetic update removes the deprecated label above the REPORTS tab in the Collection Zone header area. The related deprecation notice is unchanged.

For more information, see our deprecation notices.

Your Collection Zones will be updated during the third and fourth quarter of this year, starting this month.
