Upgrading to 3.x
Please update to the latest 2.0.x (2.0.3) or 8.x-1.x (8.x-1.8) releases, which are the same.
The update hooks in these releases will remove the need for js_cookie. The composer requirement for this is removed in the 3.x version.
Module Versions
The 2.0.x and 8.x-1.x versions are the same. Most users should upgrade to version 2.x. Only users who have a downstream dependency on autologout 8.x-1.x should use the older release.
The 7.x-5.x branch is discontinued.
Only use the 7.x-4.x branch releases for Drupal 7.
