Release Notes: Revive Adserver 3.0.0
====================================
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 3.0.0
-----------------------------------
* Release date: TBA
* Application name has changed from "OpenX Source" to "Revive Adserver".
* PHP 5.4+ now supported.
* Signup for an OpenX account is no longer required during installation.
* Removed plugins (OpenX Market and OpenX Workflow) related to the deprecated
OpenX Market service.
* Fixed upgrade wizard to ensure that that disabled plugins remain disabled
after upgrade is completed.
* Updated the dashboard to be served from the local Revive Adserver
installation, instead of from OpenX.
* Update checking mechanism no longer supports sending aggregate statistic
data to the update server.
* Added support for the calculation of revenue and eCPM statistics for future
delivery of monthly tenancy campaigns and associated banners.
* Added breadcrumbs to the statistics pages.
* Improved the delivery of contract campaigns by reducing the effect that
linked, but inactive, zones have on the priority calculations, where
impressions were being incorrectly allocated to these zones, resulting in
under-delivery.
* Fixed SQL banners on PostgreSQL.
* Fixed bug with multiple banner/zone ID logging.
* Fixed bug with non-transparent SWF banners being served without wmode=opaque,
causing banners to be rendered on top of other dynamic content (e.g. menus).
* Resolved several PHP warnings relating to code strictness.

* 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.

higher is required. If you are using an older version of MySQL, you will

* Some of the PEAR libraries used are not compatible with database prefix
names with double "_" characters (e.g. "ox__"). You should NOT install
Revive Adserver with a prefix of this format.

statistics. This can be worked around by ensuring that the timezone is
correctly set in PHP.
