OpenRTB 2.6-202303
What this release is
The March 2023 snapshot is the plcmt release: it added imp.video.plcmt with the AdCOM video placement subtypes and deprecated the legacy placement field. The two enums do not map one to one, which is why this migration is still generating validator findings three years later. It also added ad refresh signaling and an impression-fulfillment timestamp macro.
