# PHP DebugBar v3 is released

**[Laravel News](https://daily.dev/sources/ln)** · [@ericlbarnes](https://daily.dev/ericlbarnes) · 2 min read · 64 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

PHP DebugBar v3.0.0 has been released with significant modernization updates including removal of jQuery in favor of vanilla JavaScript classes, replacement of FontAwesome with lightweight Tabler SVG icons, improved performance through lazy widget rendering, and comprehensive type hints with static analysis. The release includes new features like top-positioning option, improved timeline support, backtrace for queries, and a new AssetHandler. This major version introduces breaking changes affecting custom widgets (now JavaScript classes), data collectors (new type hints and method signatures), removed legacy support (jQuery bindings, Assetic, RequireJS), and updated interfaces requiring code adjustments for deep integrations.
