Shlink v2.7.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2021-05-23 // almost 3 years ago

  • ➕ Added

    • #1044 Added ability to set names on API keys, which helps to identify them when the list grows.

    • #819 Visits are now always located in real time, even when not using swoole.

      The only side effect is that a GeoLite2 db file is now installed when the docker image starts or during shlink installation or update.

      Also, when using swoole, the file is now updated after tracking a visit, which means it will not apply until the next one.

    • 💻 #1059 Added ability to optionally display author API key and its name when listing short URLs from the command line.

    • 👍 #1066 Added support to import short URLs and their visits from another Shlink instance using its API.

    • #898 Improved tracking granularity, allowing to disable visits tracking completely, or just parts of it.

      In order to achieve it, Shlink now supports 4 new tracking-related options, that can be customized via env vars for docker, or via installer:

      • disable_tracking: If true, visits will not be tracked at all.
      • disable_ip_tracking: If true, visits will be tracked, but neither the IP address, nor the location will be resolved.
      • disable_referrer_tracking: If true, the referrer will not be tracked.
      • disable_ua_tracking: If true, the user agent will not be tracked.

    • #955 Added new option to set short URLs as crawlable, making them be listed in the robots.txt as Allowed.

    • #900 Shlink now tries to detect if the visit is coming from a potential bot or crawler, and allows to exclude those visits from visits lists if desired.

    🔄 Changed

    • ⚡️ #1036 Updated to happyr/doctrine-specification 2.0.
    • ⚡️ #1039 Updated to endroid/qr-code 4.0.
    • ✅ #1008 Ensured all logs are sent to the filesystem while running API tests, which helps debugging the reason for tests to fail.

    🗄 Deprecated

    • Nothing

    ✂ Removed

    • Nothing

    🛠 Fixed

    • 🏗 #1041 Ensured the default value for the version while building the docker image is latest.
    • 🛠 #1067 Fixed exception when persisting multiple short URLs in one batch which include the same new tags/domains. This can potentially happen when importing URLs.
