Includes new version of: Transtream Setup (3.39.0).

Possible Breaking Changes

What has changed What to do
New App versions available. If you are using modified Apps, you must replicate your changes in the new version. See App Changes below for a summary of the items that have affected Apps in this release.
Custom Label Generator logic has changed. Transtream will no longer send label request variables and will instead send an XML document. If a user already has a custom label engine developed then this will no longer function as expected and it will have to be re-worked to be compatible with these changes. Examples of how to do this, alongside an example of how to access this XML document, can be viewed in the Toolkit. See Downloads.
