+3.0.9 (2024-06-07)
+------------------
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+
+- No longer set ``portal_properties.site_properties.visible_ids`` on site creation.
+  The ``portal_properties`` tools is deprecated, ``visible_ids`` was not set as real property, and usage of ``visible_ids`` was largely removed in Plone 5.0 already.
+  You already can no longer set ``visible ids`` in the Editing control panel, nor in the member preferences.
+  The only remaining use for ``visible_ids``, if set to true, was to show the page ids on the 'select default page' form.
+  [maurits] (#125)
