We have made improvements to our ad calls, which should increase ad fill and decrease the amount of ad slate seen when playback occurs close to the live edge (i.e. during low latency playback), as well as in instances where ad break notification occurred very close to the ad break.
Today, we released a redesign of Live Channels and an update to our Blackouts feature. The Live Channels tab has a new look and feel, as well as enhancements to improve the overall experience of managing channels. The Blackouts update allows for more effective management of blackout rules and audiences. If you had Blackout Zones or IDs created previously, we’ve migrated them to the new structure so that the transition is seamless. Please review the User Documentation to learn more.

Removed -p / password from parsers and help strings
Support for multiple TTML files in VOD slicing
Fixes:
Respect forceAR parameters in the slicer
Track PTS values of slices after discontinuities
Prevent inserting additional ad breaks
