Version 3.0-Alpha-1

New Features

For the interstitial ad format:

1. VAST video demand can now serve alongside HTML & mediation demand.
2. A more robust request/response format is supported in the backend which reduces latency for fetching ads.
3. Impressions are counted client-side when the ads become viewable.
4. The countdown timer & close button look and feel has been redesigned.
5. SDK now prevents user from closing the interstitial ad until close button is displayed.

Known Issues

• Setting the reserve price directly on the InterstitialAdView is not supported

Workaround: Set the reserve price for any interstitial placements in Console.

• VAST error tracking is not supported

Workaround: None.

• VAST companion ads are not supported

Workaround: None.

• Ad server is returning 1x1 HTML ads which are unsupported by the SDK

Workaround: Monitor impression traffic and block 1x1 creatives on your ad profile in Console in order to mitigate any fill issues.
