Revive Adserver is an open source project, dedicated to building and supporting the open source ad server software and the community of users around the world.

We just released Revive Adserver v5.3.1

The new version 5.3.1 of the Revive Adserver software fixes a number of bugs that have been identified after publication of v5.3.0.

Changes in v5.3.1 of the Revive Adserver software:

  • We added missing “from” and “to” labels in the date selectors of the statistics screens.
  • We fixed an issue preventing tracker account preferences from being displayed in the menus.
  • We fixed an issue causing “access denied” error messages on some statistics pages, e.g. campaign banners.
  • We fixed the ‘redirection upon click’ on legacy image tags leading to a white page instead of the destination URL of the banner.
  • We fixed some PHP fatal errors in the XML-RPC API v2.
  • We fixed a PHP fatal error in admin-search.php on PHP 8.0.
  • We fixed PHP fatal error in banner-zone.php on PHP 8.0.

Full release notes for v5.3.1 can be found on our Github page.

Non-backward compatible changes

  • A PHP version equal to or higher than 7.2.5 is now required to run Revive Adserver 5.3.0 or higher.
  • The mysql4_compatiblity setting has been removed: Revive Adserver will now always make sure that the appropriate (empty) sql_mode is set when running on a MySQL database.
  • Support for the legacy pecl msqyl extension has been removed: mysqli will always be used instead.
