With the release of JW 8.28.0, new features include adding a showAdMarkers property for ad display control, improvements to playlist filtering (except when doNotTrack is enabled), and new accessibility shortcuts in JWP. Bug fixes address video resizing in Safari and a Freewheel capability flags issue.

New Features

• A new property called showAdMarkers has been added to the timeSlider configuration object, allowing ad markers to be displayed or removing them and introducing a new ad countdown element that appears 5 seconds before a mid-roll (as shown in the release note image above).
• The source asset has been filtered out of the Recommended playlists. If doNotTrack is enabled in the browser, no filtering occurs.
• JWP supports new accessibility keyboard shortcuts to increase caption size (+) and decrease caption size (-).

Bug Fixes

• Videos display correctly resized on both desktop and mobile versions of Safari.
• An issue related to properly adding custom capability flags for Freewheel has been addressed.
