This quarter, we’ve rolled out a series of updates designed to give publishers more flexibility, stronger monetization opportunities, and an even smoother experience with the Aniview platform. From new placement types to expanded integrations and performance boosts under the hood, these updates are all about helping you maximize impact with less effort.
Major New Features & Capabilities
We’ve added powerful tools to help you take greater control of your ad strategy:

- Fluid Ad Sizes in GAM: More responsive ad experiences with full support for the “fluid” ad size in Google Ad Manager.
- Advanced Refresh & Rescaling: Multiformat ads now automatically refresh and adapt, ensuring seamless delivery and more impression opportunities.
- On-Demand Placement Control: New API functions let you programmatically hide or show placements — perfect for optimizing ad visibility in real time.
- Simplified Debugging: Activate debug mode directly via URL parameters, making troubleshooting campaigns faster and easier.
- Richer Bid Requests: Pass hashed emails and custom data to Prebid, unlocking smarter monetization.
- Improved Ad Placement Frameworks: Stronger support for both generic and Google ad placements with better tracking and reliability.
- LiveIntent A/B Testing: Fine-tune your identity strategy with built-in A/B testing support.
New Integrations & Demand Partners
More demand. More quality. More control.

- Expanded SSP & RTB Support: Prebid now offers broader SSP and RTB support, giving you more ways to connect with premium demand.
Performance & Core Enhancements
Speed and reliability are critical — and we’ve made some big improvements behind the scenes:
- Upgraded Prebid.js: Now running v9.33 for faster performance and new features.
- Auction Optimizations: Reduced latency and smarter bidding logic for better results.
- Bid Caching: Faster ad rendering by reusing recent bids where it makes sense.

- Viewability Safeguards: Prevented impressions from being triggered on hidden or out-of-view ads.
- Mobile Floating Ads: Fixed display alignment issues in mobile floating mode.
- Responsive Player Support: Corrected impression tracking after instream player resizing.
- Better Tracking Reliability: Improved macros and payload keys for more consistent measurement.
- Privacy Enhancements: Strengthened Global Privacy Platform (GPP) support in APS.
