adapter-admob [1.3.0.1] - 2026-08-10

adapter-googlewaterfall [25.2.0.2] - 2026-08-10

- Moves realized-price capture into the CloudX SDK. The adapter no longer keeps its own realized-price store; the SDK now records the price from the adapter’s impression-level revenue data.
- No integration changes are required.
- Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.5.0.
adapter-admob [1.3.0.0] - 2026-07-29
- Initial release of the AdMob estimated adapter on the GMA Next-Gen SDK 1.3.0.
- Full ad-format parity with the legacy
adapter-googlewaterfallartifact: Banner, MREC, Interstitial, Rewarded, Native, and App Open. - Requires
minSdk 24(a GMA Next-Gen SDK requirement). - Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.2.0.
adapter-googlewaterfall [25.2.0.1] - 2026-07-21
- Expires prefetched Google Mobile Ads fills after their per-format freshness window and proactively refills, so a stale cached fill is no longer served for an impression.
- Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.2.0.
adapter-googlewaterfall [25.2.0.0] - 2026-07-08
- Certified with Google Mobile Ads SDK 25.2.0.
- Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.2.0.
adapter-googlewaterfall [25.1.0.3] - 2026-07-21
- Expires prefetched Google Mobile Ads fills after their per-format freshness window and proactively refills, so a stale cached fill is no longer served for an impression. For integrations pinned to the Google Mobile Ads SDK 25.1.0 line.
- Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.2.0.
adapter-googlewaterfall [25.1.0.2] - 2026-07-07
- Adds Google Waterfall Interstitial, Rewarded, Native, and App Open support.
- Improves Google response ID reporting and uses Google paid-event revenue to update realized prices for future Google Waterfall bids.
- Improves prefetch reliability by ignoring stale loader callbacks and using single-shot impression handling across Google Waterfall formats.
- Reports supported ad formats to CloudX so server-provisioned configuration can match demand only to compatible placements.
- Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.2.0.
adapter-googlewaterfall [25.1.0.1] - 2026-06-02
- Raises the prefetch load timeout above the Google Mobile Ads SDK’s own load timeout, so a slow but valid mediation cascade is no longer discarded as a stuck load.
- Clarifies the no-probe-labels log to list the likely causes — probe misconfiguration, the bid clearing above the highest configured probe, or a test ad — so a probe ceiling set too low is distinguishable from broken mediation.
adapter-googlewaterfall [25.1.0.0] - 2026-05-25
- Initial release.
- Certified with Google Mobile Ads SDK 25.1.0.
- Supports AdMob waterfall Banner and MREC ad formats.
- Tags outgoing AdRequests with
setRequestAgent("cloudx")so Google attributes prefetch traffic to CloudX. - Falls back to
AdListener.onAdImpressionwhen ILRDOnPaidEventListenerdoes not fire within 250 ms, so impressions on AdMob accounts without Impression-Level Revenue Data still reach CloudX accounting. The ILRD path emits the revenue bundle; the fallback emits an empty bundle. - Auto-refresh impressions on the same
AdVieware intentionally dropped — GMA exposes no SDK-side refresh kill switch, so v1 counts one CloudX impression per served creative. - Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.1.0.
adapter-googlewaterfall [24.9.0.0] - 2026-07-30
- Certified with Google Mobile Ads SDK 24.9.0, for integrations pinned to the 24.9.0 network SDK line ahead of the GMA 25 upgrade.
- Feature parity with the 25.2.0 line.
- Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.2.0.
adapter-googlewaterfall [23.6.0.0] - 2026-06-02
- Certified with Google Mobile Ads SDK 23.6.0, for integrations pinned to the 23.6.0 network SDK line.
- Feature parity with 25.1.0.1 (the load-timeout and no-probe-labels logging improvements are included).
- Requires minimum CloudX SDK version be 4.1.0.
