Today we're pleased to announce the v201702 release of the DFP API. This release adds a new PublisherQueryLanguageService table: Change_History. This table contains entries for changes to entities in your network. This allows for the long-awaited ability of querying for DFP entity changes programmatically.

Additionally, v201702 adds the NativeStyleService, which allows you to read, create, and update native styles.
For a full list of API changes in v201702, see the release notes.
With each new release comes a new deprecation. If you're using v201605 or earlier, it's time to look into upgrading. Also remember that v201602 will be sunset at the end of February 2017.
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to drop us a line on the DFP API forums or the Ads Developer Google+ page.

One of the most important factors in keeping users on your page or in your app is latency - the lower your latency, the more likely your users are to stick around. With this in mind, we'd like to remind you about our best practices for reducing latency with the IMA SDKs. In general, you can reduce latency by doing as much IMA set-up work as possible on page or app load, before your user tries to play a video. The following can be done in all of the SDKs before the user attempts to play a video:
You can find more information on optimizing latency in each of our SDKs at the links below:

In accordance with our deprecation schedule, we'll be sunsetting versions 2.5 and 2.5beta1 of the DCM/DFA Reporting and Trafficking API on February 28th, 2017. On this date, all requests made against these versions will begin returning HTTP 403 errors.
If you're still working with these versions, we strongly encourage you to begin migrating to the most recent release to avoid an interruption in service. If you're not sure, or would like to know more about the migration process, refer to the migration guide.
As always, feel free to reach out to us with any questions that you have.
