Release Notes: Revive Adserver 3.1.0
====================================
These release notes cover what's new, system requirements, download and
installation instructions, known issues and frequently asked questions for
Revive Adserver. Please read these notes before reporting any bugs.
What's New in Revive Adserver 3.1.0
-----------------------------------
* Release date: TBA
Security Updates
----------------
* None
New Features
------------
* The "Contract (Exclusive)" campaign type has been re-named to "Override".
* The Revive Adserver delivery engine now includes a completely inclusive
CORS header (i.e. 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *').
* The domain used for the viewerId cookie is now configurable.
* The "My Account" main menu has been re-named to "Preferences" for clarity.
* The quick navigation dropdown lists for advertisers/campaigns and websites is
now sorted alphabetically.
* The "midnight" sync process that checks for updates to Revive Adserver is
now the very last thing to happen in the overall maintenance process.
Bug Fixes
---------
* Fixed the editing of campaigns when conversion tracking is disabled.
* Fixed the preview of all banners on the "Banners" page user interface
preference.
* Fixed incorrectly displayed error message when trying to link a banner to
an email zone where the banner's parent campaign dates overlap with an
already linked campaign.
* Fixed incorrectly displayed message stating that a link has been created when
trying to link an email zone to a banner where the banner's parent campaign
dates overlap with an already linked campaign.
* VAST tracking URLs now use https:// when called via SSL.
* Removed useless Content-Length headers when sending the 1x1 transparent gif
and spc delivery files, as the header interferes with ob_gzhandler and/or
zlib.output_compression.
* Fixed issue with banner delivery over SSL when using Postgres.
* Fixed click redirection to internationalized domain names when the IDN
functions are available (PHP 5.3+).
* Properly display the current value in the UI when settings contain an
underscore in their name.
* Properly display 'Site - Variable' delivery limitations when the value is set
to zero (i.e. '0').
* Fixed product name and removed bad documentation link on installer pre-check
warning page.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes
--------------------------------
* A number of database table columns are removed as part of the upgrade
process for Revive Adserver 3.1.0, as they were deprecated with the removal
of the OpenX Market in version 3.0.0. Please ensure that you back up your
Revive Adserver database before upgrading to 3.1.0.
* Existing accounts with the name "Default manager" will be updated to
"Default Account" to ensure the account name is consistent with updated
language files. Similarly, existing accounts with the name "Administrator
account" will be updated to "System Administrator".
* Activation/deactivation emails and scheduled reports are now disabled by
default when creating new advertisers via the API, in order to match the UI
behaviour. This does not affect any existing advertiser account settings for
this feature; but please be aware that the default for all new advertiser
accounts has been changed.
* The adRender hook function signature was missing the $richMedia argument before
$loc and $referer. Please make sure you double check your custom plugins in
case they use such hook.

Known Issues
------------
This list covers some of the known problems with Revive Adserver. Please read
this before reporting any new bugs.
* The upgrade process may time out with very large databases. See
http://www.revive-adserver.com/docs/faq for more information if you
have a large database.
* Revive Adserver requires PHP 5. If you are using PHP 4, you will need to
update your web server to use PHP 5 before upgrading.
* If you want to run Revive Adserver with MySQL, please note that MySQL 4.1 or
higher is required. If you are using an older version of MySQL, you will
need to update you database software before upgrading.

PostgreSQL, you will need to update your database software before
upgrading.
* Some of the PEAR libraries used are not compatible with database prefix
names with double "_" characters (e.g. "rv__"). You should NOT install
Revive Adserver with a prefix of this format.
* Some users have reported issues of being logged out when viewing
statistics. This can be worked around by ensuring that the timezone is
correctly set in PHP.
* See http://www.revive-adserver.com/support/bugs/ for the latest bug reports.
