    • Updated Consent Manager popup in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Czech Republic (CZ).
    • Google Consent Mode Toggle - Consent Mode can now be controlled from the Osano app. 
    • Inclusion of Web Workers - Web Workers allow for web content to run scripts in background threads and can potentially improve performance in supported browsers. 
    • Inline Classifications 
      • Added the ability for customers to add “Inline Classifications” within their own HTML using Osano data tags instead of classifying within the b2b web platform itself.
        • Example HTML: 
        • <script data-osano="ESSENTIAL" src="https://<js-script>.com"></script>

Bug fixes

  • Mobile SDK - Essential Toggle now disabled by default in Android and iOS SDK.
  • Consent Manager - Select iFrame Blocking even when allowed. This has been addressed, and iFrame blocking now functions as expected.
