Important Prebid.js Releases

Not every Prebid.js release contains noteworthy core features, and the GitHub releases page can be hard to search for when an important change or bugfix was made.

The table below is a summary of feature changes and important bug fixes in core of Prebid.js. Almost all releases have new bid adapters or updates to existing adapters – what’s listed here is limited to core functionality. Releases with only minor core changes may not be shown here, and releases with multiple important changes may be shown more than once.
