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: 13 September 2013
* Application name has changed from "OpenX Source" to "Revive Adserver".
* 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.
* Updated the dashboard to be served from the local Revive Adserver
installation, instead of from OpenX.
Security Updates
----------------
* Fixed code injection exploit with delivery limitations. (See note below.)
* Update checking mechanism no longer supports sending aggregate statistic
data to the update server.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The code injection exploit deliver limitations fix requires user action to
ensure that you are safe. After upgrading to Revive 3.0.0, you must take the
following actions to ensure that all of your delivery limitations are not
potentially exposing your system.
1. Log into your Revive Adserver UI as an admin user.
2. Ensure that you are "Working as" the system administrator.
3. Go to "Configuration > Maintenance".
3. Select the "Delivery Limitations" section.
4. Click the "Check ACLs" link.
5. If errors are reported, click the "Recompile" button.
Please note that in this event, it is possible that some banners will no
longer deliver, as the injected code will render your re-compiled delivery
limitations as invalid. To correct this, you will need to re-set the
delivery limitations for each affected banner in the user interface.
New Features
------------
* PHP 5.4+ now supported. (See note below.)
* 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.
PHP 5.4+ Compatibility Note
Support for running Revive Adserver with modern PHP versions has been added,
however due to a PHP garbage collection bug the code might not work properly
in some circumstances and generate segmentation faults. The bug has been
reported to the PHP team (https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65367) and fixed in
PHP 5.5.2; the bug is as yet unfixed in any versions of PHP 5.4.
Bug Fixes
---------
* Fixed upgrade wizard to ensure that that disabled plugins remain disabled
after upgrade is completed.
* Fixed issue with magic macros not working in a banner's destination URL
when being displayed in an invocation tag with 3rd party click-tracking
enabled.
* Fixed many different combinations of invocation tags failing to track clicks
correctly in 3rd party servers.
* 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.
Non-Backwards Compatible Changes
--------------------------------
* Please note that bug fixes to 3rd party click-tracking mean that it is
possible that existing, working 3rd party click-tracking configurations may
break. Please see http://tinyurl.com/ojr989o for more details on why, and
what combinations of servers & tags may be affected.

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.
* If you want to run Revive Adserver with PostgreSQL, please note that
PostgreSQL 8.1 or higher is required. If you are using an older version of
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 https://github.com/revive-adserver/revive-adserver/issues?state=open
for the latest bug reports.
