As per old industry standards, impressions were counted as soon as the ad server had sent instructions to publisher's website to create the ad. The Media Rating Counsil (MRC), in conjunction with the IAB, suggests an industry-wide transition to count impressions when the ad starts to load. In order to minimize discrepancies with third parties, AdGlare already went ahead and adopted this new standard of counting impressions.

This data is now passed along in the JSON output when requesting a native ad.

The banner ad format cannot only hold static images, but also play inline videos or HTML5 ads. The term 'banner ad' may therefore not represent the format well. We're now using the more general term 'inline media ad'.

The URL-Targeting feature now supports up to 50 fields.

SSL-Compatibility of 3rd party ad tags is now automatically detected. If non-compatible, those ads will only be displayed on http:// pages.
