v1.62.0

Notes

• This release contains the /setuid endpoint modifications outlined in prebid/prebid-server#1477 . A side effect of this change is that the usersync.BIDDER.tcf.blocked metric drops significantly as it is changed into a general setuid error metric (usersync.bad_requests) when the TCF consent string is missing or invalid. We'll fix this metric situation in the next release.
• The same change resulted in extra error log entries for missing consent strings in /cookie_sync and /setuid. The next release will also drop these to a 1% sample of errors.
• Turns out when PBS-Go and PBS-Java implemented prebid/prebid-server#745 we did them differently. Go is treating ext.prebid.debug as a boolean while Java is expecting 0 or 1. To be fair, the issue didn't clearly specify this. Anyhow, PBS-Java now supports wither 0 or false, 1 or true.

v1.57.0

What’s Changed

Two important changes in this 1.57 to be aware of:

Legacy /auction Endpoint Removed

Rounding out the First Party Data feature from 1.56:

• Fix FPD decoding Exception (#1155)
• FPD bidderconfig: merge fpd values into ortb2 (#1149)
• FPD permissions: remove site.content.data and user.data when not permitted (#1146)
• Fix NPE in FPD when targeting.bidders is not defined (#1154)

Remaining items:

• Remove AdUnitConfig support as it is not used anymore (#1157)
• Update pulsepoint adapter (#1140)
• AMX bidder: Skip bids with invalid extension and add error (#1135)
• Update Eplanning Bidder with sizes priority by device type (#1143)

v1.56.0

First Party Data 2.0

The big feature in this release is the bulk of the Prebid Server First Party Data 2.0 changes (#1092)

The specific PBS changes are highlighted here, but this release doesn't contain the following changes, which will come in future releases:

• bidderconfig support for ortb2
• data permissions for user.data and site.content.data
• AMP support

PBS host companies shouldn't notice any changes with this release -- support for the original 'fpd' syntax is still present. This release adds support for the new 'ortb2' convention.

What Else Changed

• Reserve "all, context, general, prebid, skadn, data" as imp[].ext.ATTR exceptions (#1133)
