Version 2.5.0

Known Issues in 2.5.0

• AdColony requests always fail.
• Mintegral requests always fail.
• Vungle crash java.util.ConcurrentModificationException from com.vungle.warren.persistence.FilePreferences$1.run()

Features

Bidding and Waterfall collaboration

• This update made huge changes to the handling of ad requests. Our goal was to increase the efficiency and performance of collaboration between Waterfall and Bidding systems.
• Added bidding for AdColony, Vungle, AppLovin in beta.
• Added option to transfer Facebook AN bidding to AppLovin instead of Fyber FireBid.
• Filtration of ineffective floors from the waterfall.

Banner Ads update

• We had to rethink the structure of banners and banner sizes to make their work clearer and more efficient.
• Global ad instance for all CASBannerView.
  Each CASBannerView has its own unique ad view.

  Attention. Several banners can be displayed on one screen.

• Change banner size no longer destroys views of a different size.
• Added CASBannerView.isAdReady() to check a specific banner size instead of a global banner MediationManager.isAdReady(AdSize.Banner).
• Added CASBannerView.setRefreshInterval() to define a unified refresh interval for the current view instead of using the global AdsSettings.setRefreshInterval().
• Added CASBannerView.disableAdRefresh() to disable refresh ad for the current view.
• Added CASBannerView.destroy() to destroy ad in the current view. Please call destroy when banner view is no longer needed. For example in Activity.onDestroy() callback.
• The ad refresh for AdSize.MEDIUM_RECTANGLE is permanently disabled.
• Added new CASBannerView.setLoadCallback(new LoadAdCallback{}) to fetch load callback for the current view instead of using the global callback.
• Renamed CASBannerView.setListener(new AdCallback{}) to CASBannerView.setContentCallback(new AdCallback{}) for clarity the difference.
• The Banner ad no longer calls the AdCallback.onShowFailed().
• Removed functionality that very rarely could cause blocking from networks for resizing ads.
• Deprecated MediationManager.bannerSize in favor of defining the banner size for each CASBannerView.size.
• Deprecated MediationManager.hideBanner() in favor of defining the visibility for each CASBannerView.setVisibility().

Changes

• Chartboost is no longer supported. At the moment, Chartboost architecture does not allow us to effectively compete with other networks. We will keep an eye on changes in the future and look forward to receiving support back.
• Deprecated CAS.initialize() in favor of CAS.buildManager() to use new options.
• Deprecated MediationManager.setManualPauseControl() and no longer available.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Cross-Promo Endcard image.
• Fixed error message from validate integration log about missing cas_settings file with wrong name.

Version 2.3.0

Features

• Migrated to Kotlin runtime minimum version 1.4.32.
• Added the ability to enable automatic display of interstitial ads for users who return to the open application.
• Added a more intuitive function .withAdTypes to select active Ad Types in current session.
  By default: All Ad types are used.

CAS.buildManager().withAdTypes(AdType.Banner, AdType.Interstitial, AdType.Rewarded).initialize(context)

• Added function to clear() all listeners from CASEvent

manager.onAdLoadEvent.clear()

• Improved and optimize CAS threads.
• CAS Manager initialization is more intuitive to use:
  • .withTestAdMode(false) and empty .withManagerId ("") will throw exception!

    You can use .withManagerId (BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID) when your manager id match the application id.

  • .withTestAdMode(true) allowed empty .withManagerId("") will works fine.

    Now CAS will not find the application id when the manager id is empty since this causes problems with ProGuard.

Changes

• Deprecate CAS.buildManager().withEnabledAdTypes(AdTypeFlags.Banner or AdTypeFlags.Interstitial).initialize(context) in favor of the more intuitive function .withAdTypes.
• Deprecate CASBannerView.position property in favor layout gravity.
• Deprecate manager.hideBanner() function in favor CASBannerView.setVisibility(View.GONE) for each banner.

Bug Fixes

• Now change the CASBannerView.size will instantly hide the current banner with an inappropriate size.
• Fixed the problem after returning to an already created activity, the banner remained with the size from closed activity.
  Now we recommend specifying the banner size for each CASBannerView.size.

  Set banner size by manager.bannerSize will still determine the banner size for all existing CASBannerView.

• Fixed the problem of banner recovery after closing a fragment that was showing another banner.
• Fixed first Kidoz Interstitial request.
• Minor fixes to the Vungle Banner impression flow.
