4.8.1 - May 2, 2018

On May 15, 2018, Google will be sunsetting Flash in the IMA SDKs. Video ads in our (deprecated) Flash fallback will no longer be available. The only area where Flash may still be needed with Radiant Media Player, is to cover HLS streaming in Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 7. If you are currently using HLS with video ads and want to keep supporting Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 7, then this is a recommended update. This announcement from Google opens the way to sunsetting our (deprecated) Flash fallback in the near future.

• Adds fadeInPlayer player setting
• Replaces isVPAID API method with isVpaidCreative to avoid a naming conflict with internal variables
• Do not show adSkipButton when a VPAID ad is on stage (rmp-vast)
