• metatag-core: empty gpt container on reload (1d38942)

  Removes ads from Google when the slot is reloaded, instead of waiting for Google to do it. Fixes occurrences of multiple ads, after the second ad is delivered by other parties then Google.

• metatag-core: report sizes of delivered creatives and manage adslot height (c4faeeb)

  When a creative is rendered, MetaTag will again report its size to publisher and adslot. Should slot be larger than currently reserved space (active CLS avoidance), enlarge it.

  Avoids CLS when adengine is removing effects and media elements one after the other.
