Mediation 4.0.0 Changes

As part of the Marketing team’s efforts to clearly articulate the use cases and customers we support by being more descriptive with our product branding, Helium is being rebranded as Chartboost Mediation.

Starting in 4.0.0, the Chartboost Mediation brand will be used in place of Helium for new additions. In the coming 4.X releases, the old Helium branding will be deprecated and the new Chartboost Mediation branding will be used to give publishers a smoother transition.

Adapter Separation

Beginning with Chartboost Mediation SDK 4.0.0, the partner network adapters will no longer be bundled with the main Chartboost Mediation SDK distribution. This decoupling of the Helium SDK releases from the partner network adapter releases will allow for more rapid iterations of the adapters as the adapters will reside in their own open-source repositories.

The supported open-source adapter repositories are:

Adapter Versioning Scheme

With Chartboost Mediation 4.0.0, the partner adapter versions are as follows:

<chartboost_mediation_sdk_major_version>.<partner_sdk_version>.<adapter_revision>

Chartboost Mediation SDK Major Version

This is the major version of the Chartboost Mediation SDK that the adapter is compatible with.

Partner SDK Version

This is the full partner SDK version that the adapter is compatible with. Note that this could be the traditional major.minor.patch version scheme, but there are some partners that have a major.minor.patch.revision version scheme.

Adapter Revision

This is the version of the adapter. Typically this will start at 0 and will increment as there are hotfixes that are specific to this version of the adapter.

Examples

The following are some examples of adapter versions for Chartboost Mediation SDK 4.0.0.

Adding Ad Network SDKs

To integrate other ad networks via Mediation, you will need to include the Mediation adapters:

Please check each respective repository for ad network versions. Chartboost Mediation SDK 4.x series is compatible with any adapter also in the 4.x series. These are only the initial adapters released with version 4.0.0.
