Tags: Even with all the excitement around the hosted version of OpenX, we haven’t lost focus on improving our flagship open source ad server. Today we are launching the public beta programme for a new version of OpenX with the release of the first public beta download.
This new version of OpenX introduces some exciting new featuresto help you:
- Write applications which interact with OpenX using the OpenX API
- Serve ads faster using the new Single Page Call tag
- Deliver more targeting ads easily using the new delivery limitations
Our thanks go out to our private beta testers who have helped shape these new features and hunt down bugs. We’d like to send out a special thanks to MindSpark for contributing the numeric comparison feature (make sure to say thanks if you see him on the IRC channel).
This will become the new stable version of OpenX once we’re confident it has had enough real world testing to ensure there are no critical bugs left undiscovered. We need your help to make this happen. Please take some time to test out the new software and report any bugs you find.
Find out more about the beta programme or download the beta and start testing today.

Note: this new beta version doesn’t affect our commitment to our current stable product. We are currently working on a maintenance release for OpenX v2.4 which should be available in the next few weeks
Excellent. Now is a great time to try out OpenX for my website.

what (if any) geo-tracking improvements have been made? does it work with all ISP’s? US or globally?
Comment by Elz — April 16, 2008 @ 5:46 am
Hi Elz
By default, OpenX ships with the free MaxMind GeoLite Country database so you can immediately start targeting ads based on the location of your website visitors. We chose this one because it’s suitable for most and isn’t too heavy.
MaxMind provides a range other open source and commercial geotargeting databases which you can use with OpenX depending on your geotargeting needs.

Was there something specific you had in mind?
cheers, Oliver
