All,

I’m pleased to announce that today we have released Openads v2.4 to the public!

This is our first stable release of the new codebase and a huge milestone for us. I’d like to thank all individuals in both the Openads v2.3 private and public beta cycles

Those of you who have not already installed and played with the latest version… You are missing out on the best Openads adserver yet!

We’re particularly proud of the new install and upgrade wizard but there are a number of other great reasons to upgrade:

• Enterprise level delivery – Capability to serve billions of ads per month
• Smoother campaign delivery and prioritisation
• Easy integration with leading applications: Track Google and Yahoo! clicks
• Enhanced targeting and campaign management
• Better reporting capability

You can find a list of all the features on our product page. So download v2.4 it today and let us know your feedback!

  5. Congratulations on getting this up and running. We’re currently looking at a few options for our portfolio of clients and your platform is looking like a good choice. Am away to test it and see how we get on.

  6. Great work everyone!!! You’ve done an amazing job and I’m so happy to see how far OpenAds has come.

    I just installed the update and it worked like a charm! Can’t wait to implement it network-wide now.

  8. I love opeNADS lol

    Seriously though… This is the best ad server out there. I love the geotargeting with maxmind. This is hands down the Best Damned Ad Server Period. Got a ton of ad code to replace now because this new release is a sexy beast!

    Great job peeps :-D

  9. Hi,

    wow, thanks for the great BDASP acronym :)
    Just as a note: You aren’t required to replace all of your ad invocation code after upgrading. However, it would be recommended to do so to guarantee stability and performance for the future, but we have gone to great lengths to make sure that Openads 2.0 invocation code will work after an upgrade.

  15. I think there are still some issues with the 2.4 upgrade code. Lots of people are complaining of the inability to upgrade from 2.0.11 to 2.4. I am one of them too and I think I shall wait for the next patch before upgrading because my previous attempt to upgrade to 2.4 failed.

  21. Thanks for the great birthday present. The more I use OpenAds, the more I love it! My only complaint/wish now is for an API (yes, I know…)

  22. Hi Michael

    Happy birthday! :-) There is a web services api in the works. Sign up to the 2.5 beta testing program if you’d like to help us test it out. Details are here:

  29. Hello!

    I’m using your software severall years and it’s really great!

    But now actually this month it’s counting only 1 percent of the really hits, misterious thing.

    i’ve seen, there is a new version, so i make an update as soon as possible, hoping that thereafter everything will work fine again. And of course I’m curious about the new functions.
