This release again makes some tweaks to our ad rotation algorithm specifically around the timeframe and delay.
| date: | October 15, 2024
|
|---|
Release v1.18.0 was tested but never widely adopted as we saw a performance (CTR) degradation. We tested a delay before this release and think it will solve most of the performance problems that we saw in the previous release.
| date: | September 24, 2024
|
|---|
Rotate ads if they've been visible long enough when a tab is refocused after being backgrounded.

| date: | June 14, 2024

The changes in this release were minor but allow adjusting the position of the stickybox placement with the data-ea-placement-bottom attribute.
| date: | May 16, 2024
|
|---|
This change lowers the ad rotation threshold and adds the notes on rotation to the documentation.
| date: | February 13, 2024
|
|---|
We made a few tweaks around double-loading the module. We settled on just raising a warning.
| date: | February 6, 2024
|
|---|
The client will not automatically rotate ads very conservatively. This is primarily for SPAs. Added a check to prevent double-loading the module. Also, added a more significant test suite.
| date: | December 5, 2023
|
|---|
Fixed a bug with ethicalads.wait.
Updated the keywords and added documentation for falling back from
EthicalAds to other networks.

|---|
The client will send a placement index for multiple placements on the same screen.
| date: | October 11, 2023
|
|---|
The main difference in this release is a change to the z-index in the fixed footer ad. The z-index was a bit low and a higher one was needed especially on Read the Docs.
| date: | August 29, 2023
|
|---|
Improved single page app (SPA) support. See the docs for more details.
| date: | June 8, 2023
|
|---|
Fix a styling issue that caused the stickybox ad to float on smaller screen sizes.
| date: | September 6, 2022
|
|---|
This release fixed a viewport detection issue that pertained to styled ads (fixedfooter and stickybox) that cause issues with views being counted for them. This release also contained a minor docs fix.
| date: | August 29, 2022
|
|---|
This version added a fixedfooter placement.
| date: | July 6, 2022
|
|---|
Publisher house ads (fallback ads) were not enabled by default in the client. Starting in this release, they are.
| date: | June 20, 2022
|
|---|
During the rollout of v1.4.3, we noticed that warnings were treated as errors
in some situations due to a poorly documented, browser specific window.debug.
We are just not going to rely on that.
| date: | June 9, 2022
|
|---|
Fixes a release issue with 1.4.2.
| date: | June 9, 2022 |
|---|
This release just demoted an error raised when there were no ads to show to a warning.
| date: | June 9, 2022
|
|---|
This was a very minor change to a z-index that could
obscure some content when using the stickybox placement.
| date: | January 25, 2022
|
|---|
The big change here is to add custom placements with the data-ea-style
option.
| date: | December 3, 2021
|
|---|
In this change we removed our polyfills to support IE11. This shrinks the client by about 40%. We also move to support multiple placements on a page. This isn't something we're recommending to publishers (and in fact, you won't make more doing this) but a publisher who is beta testing our sponsorship model is using this feature.
Note: Drops support for IE11.
| date: | September 2, 2021
|
|---|
Move the view time endpoint to a separate endpoint sent from the server.
| date: | August 13, 2021
|
|---|
There was a minor fix to new code that sends the amount of time an ad was viewed.
| date: | August 5, 2021
|
|---|
The major changes in this release were to send the client version with the ad request. In the future, we will begin warning users if their ad client is very out of date. The other major change was to send the amount of time an ad was viewed when the browser/page/tab loses focus or is closed. This is an important advertiser metric and we believe that we may be able to charge advertisers additional rates for high view time placements.
