All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

[5.3.1] – 2026-10-19

Added

• [Unity] Placement overlay in the Editor: New Placement Overlay (Editor only) option in Project Settings → Adverty → Debugging. In Play Mode it shows a label above each ad placement in the Game view with the placement name, ID and live viewability data: viewing angle, screen size, visible area and area goal. The label border is green when the placement passes the viewability check, red when it is too small or at too steep an angle, and gray otherwise, and the label names the reason when the check fails. Labels are hidden for placements outside the viewport and are positioned to avoid overlapping each other. Supported in the Windows (DirectX 11/12) and macOS (Metal) Editor; it has no effect in player builds.

Fixed

• [Android][OpenGL] Missing ads: Fixed ads not being displayed on android openGL.

Changed

• [USDK] Native C API renamed: Exported functions and types now use the Adverty prefix (e.g. Start → AdvertyStart), public headers are .h. Native integrations must update their calls; bundled engine plugins are already migrated.

• [Unity] Dropped Unity 2022 support: Unity 6.0 LTS is now the minimum supported version. The long-deprecated AdvertyLoader and AdvertyLooper scripts were removed; use AdvertySDK.
• [USDK][Unity] Removed allowVideo from ad placements: AdvertyAdPlacementDescription::allowVideo and the Unity AdPlacement.AllowVideo field were removed. All placements now support video ads; video delivery is controlled only by server-side VAST settings.

Fixed

• [iOS] WebView snapshot crash: Fixed a crash in CGContextDrawImage during WebView texture capture when the snapshot’s backing surface was invalidated by the app entering the background or the WebKit content process terminating.
