  • v1.6.0(Apr 23, 2019)

  • v1.5.1(Apr 21, 2019)

    Bug Fix

    If a user created a new link, clicked copy and immediately changed the link text, then a weird behaviour involving clipboard timeouts would occur. To fix this, we now clear the clipboard timeouts when input changes.

  • v1.3.0(Apr 20, 2019)

  • v1.2.1(Apr 6, 2019)

    Bug Fix

    If /new/ was part of the URL to be shortened, then everything after and including the /new/ segment in the URL would be ignored. For example, http://google.co.uk/new/path-to-something-else/ was being stored as http://google.co.uk in the database. This has now been fixed so the full URL is stored in the database.

  • v1.2.0(Mar 18, 2019)

  • v1.1.1(Nov 23, 2018)

    Bug Fix

    Query parameters in URLs were being ignored. For example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyYMzEplnfU was being stored as https://www.youtube.com/watch in the database. This has now been fixed so the full URL is stored in the database.

    Source code(tar.gz)
    Source code(zip)

  • v1.1.0(Nov 22, 2018)

    New Features

    • Sequences are now hex encoded which will mean shorter links as more are added.

    • Links that are already in the cache and requested to be shortened again are now moved to the top of the Your Links list.
