•     The first start menus are simplified now
•     Vista compatibility
•     and some more bug fixes

• Crashes after long playtime in Windows XP fixed.

• The theme dialog was accidently removed.

• Full version: The Basic WinBrick96 scenery has integrated into the program because of many customer complains about the missing WinBrick96 level.
• The flags, which have been added to WinBrick2000 (with version 3.10) can be deactivated for the WinBrick2000 level package. This was done by a customer request. In other levels the flags are still present, because they are needed as tactical elements to complete levels.

• A "dead racket" was able to "fire collected bonis"

• On customer demand: If the right mouse button is clicked, while there is only one selectable bonus, the paddle will now not be freezed anymore.
• On customer demand: A little bit more racket freedom in small racket environments...
• If plying with multiple players, only the 'first player' was able to recieve additional lifes. Fixed.
