We are happy to announce the v0.10.0 release of [Flowplayer Spins,](https://developer.wowza.com/docs/wowza-flowplayer/player/spins) our reels experience package for short-video content. There are several new configuration options:

- **Added custom ad placement options** — two new config options give finer control over where ads appear in a spins feed. `firstAdIndex` sets the spin index the first ad shows on (optionally combined with `adsFrequency` to set the cadence from that point). `adPositions` accepts an explicit array of spin indexes (e.g. `[2, 7, 11]`) for fully custom, non-uniform placement, and overrides both `adsFrequency` and `firstAdIndex` when set.
- **Added a close button for overlays** — a new `closeButton` config option renders a close button on the container, for use in overlay patterns. Clicking it dispatches a `spins:close` event (`spinEvents.CLOSE`); the library does not remove the container itself, so implementors handle teardown in their own event listener.
- **Added article link pills** — `SpinItem` now supports an `article_url` property. Items with an `article_url` render a link pill (default label “Read more”) above the player controls that opens the URL in a new tab. The label can be overridden feed-wide with the new `articleLabel` config option. Only absolute `http`/`https` URLs are accepted.
