Context
PR #7230 proposed adding 4.4 to the VAST version enum. We are deferring that change from AdCP 3.2 because VAST 4.4 is not yet a published IAB Tech Lab specification:
There is early test activity, including VAST 4.4 fixtures and validator demos, but we have not found independent adopter evidence that AdCP currently blocks a real integration.
Revisit for 3.3
Add VAST 4.4 when either:
- IAB Tech Lab publishes the final VAST 4.4 specification/schema, or
- An independent adopter needs truthful
version="4.4" declarations for a concrete interoperability test and can describe the compatibility expectations.
When revisiting, start from #7230 and revalidate the enum, tracker event/version gates, documentation examples, and changeset against the then-current IAB artifacts.
