CHANGELOG

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

Added

• #208 Added initial support to run shlink using swoole, a non-blocking IO server which improves the performance of shlink from 4 to 10 times.

  Run shlink with ./vendor/bin/zend-expressive-swoole start to start-up the service, which will be exposed in port 8080.

  Adding the -d flag, it will be started as a background service. Then you can use the ./vendor/bin/zend-expressive-swoole stop command in order to stop it.

Changed

• #267 API responses and the CLI interface is no longer translated and uses english always. Only not found error templates are still translated.
• #289 Extracted coding standard rules to a separated package.

Deprecated

• Nothing

Removed

• Nothing

Fixed

• #278 Added missing X-Api-Key header to the list of valid cross domain headers.

1.14.1 - 2018-11-17

Added

• Nothing

Changed

• #260 Increased mutation score to 65%.

Deprecated

• Nothing

Removed

• Nothing

Fixed

• #271 Fixed memory leak produced when processing high amounts of visits at the same time.
• #272 Fixed errors produced when trying to process visits multiple times in parallel, by using a lock which ensures only one instance is run at a time.

1.14.0 - 2018-11-16

Added

• #236 Added option to define a redirection to a custom URL when a user hits an invalid short URL.

  It only affects URLs matched as "short URL" where the short code is invalid, not any 404 that happens in the app. For example, a request to the path /foo/bar will keep returning a 404.

  This new option will be asked by the installer both for new shlink installations and for any previous shlink version which is updated.

• #189 and #240 Added new GeoLite2-based geolocation service which is faster and more reliable than previous one.

  It does not have API limit problems, since it uses a local database file.

  Previous service is still used as a fallback in case GeoLite DB does not contain any IP address.

Changed

• #241 Fixed columns in visit_locations table, to be snake_case instead of camelCase.
• #228 Updated how exceptions are serialized into logs, by using monlog's PsrLogMessageProcessor.
• #225 Performance and maintainability slightly improved by enforcing via code sniffer that all global namespace classes, functions and constants are explicitly imported.
• #196 Reduced anemic model in entities, defining more expressive public APIs instead.
• #249 Added functional-php to ease collections handling.
• #253 Increased user_agent column length in visits table to 512.
• #256 Updated to Infection v0.11.
• #202 Added missing response examples to OpenAPI docs.

Deprecated

• Nothing

Removed

• Nothing

Fixed

• #223 Fixed PHPStan errors produced with symfony/console 4.1.5

1.13.2 - 2018-10-18

Added

• #233 Added PHP 7.3 to build matrix allowing its failure.

Changed

• #235 Improved update instructions (thanks to tivyhosting).

Deprecated

• Nothing

Removed

• Nothing

Fixed

• #237 Solved errors when trying to geo-locate null IP addresses.

  Also improved how visitor IP addresses are discovered, thanks to akrabat/ip-address-middleware package.

1.13.1 - 2018-10-16

Added

• Nothing

Changed

• Nothing

Deprecated

• Nothing

Removed

• Nothing

Fixed

• #231 Fixed error when processing visits.

1.13.0 - 2018-10-06

Added

• #197 Added cakephp/chronos library for date manipulations.

• #214 Improved build script, which allows builds to be done without "jumping" outside the project directory, and generates smaller dist files.

  It also allows automating the dist file generation in travis-ci builds.

• #207 Added two new config options which are asked during installation process. The config options already existed in previous shlink version, but you had to manually set their values.

  These are the new options:

  • Visits threshold to allow short URLs to be deleted.
  • Check the visits threshold when trying to delete a short URL via REST API.

Changed

• #211 Extracted installer to its own module, which will simplify moving it to a separated package in the future.

• #200 and #201 Renamed REST Action classes and CLI Command classes to use the concept of ShortUrl instead of the concept of ShortCode when referring to the entity, and left the short code concept to the identifier which is used as a unique code for a specific Short URL.

• #181 When importing the configuration from a previous shlink installation, it no longer asks to import every block. Instead, it is capable of detecting only new config options introduced in the new version, and ask only for those.

  If no new options are found and you have selected to import config, no further questions will be asked and shlink will just import the old config.

Deprecated

• #205 Deprecated [POST /authenticate] endpoint, and allowed any API request to be automatically authenticated using the X-Api-Key header with a valid API key.

  This effectively deprecates the Authorization: Bearer <JWT> authentication form, but it will keep working.

• As of #200 and #201 REST urls have changed from /short-codes/... to /short-urls/..., and the command namespaces have changed from short-code:... to short-url:....

  In both cases, backwards compatibility has been retained and the old ones are aliases for the new ones, but the old ones are considered deprecated.

Removed

• Nothing

Fixed

• #203 Fixed some warnings thrown while unzipping distributable files.
• #206 An error is now thrown during installation if any required param is left empty, making the installer display a message and ask again until a value is set.

1.12.0 - 2018-09-15

Added

• #187 Included an API endpoint and a CLI command to delete short URLs.

  Due to the implicit danger of this operation, the deletion includes a safety check. URLs cannot be deleted if they have more than a specific amount of visits.

  The visits threshold is set to 15 by default and currently it has to be manually changed. In future versions the installation/update process will ask you about the value of the visits threshold.

  In order to change it, open the config/autoload/delete_short_urls.global.php file, which has this structure:

  return [
  
      'delete_short_urls' => [
          'visits_threshold' => 15,
          'check_visits_threshold' => true,
      ],
  
  ];
  

  Properties are self explanatory. Change check_visits_threshold to false to completely disable this safety check, and change the value of visits_threshold to allow short URLs with a different number of visits to be deleted.

  Once changed, delete the data/cache/app_config.php file (if any) to let shlink know about the new values.

  This check is implicit for the API endpoint, but can be "disabled" for the CLI command, which will ask you when trying to delete a URL which has reached to threshold in order to force the deletion.

• #183 and #190 Included important documentation improvements in the repository itself. You no longer need to go to the website in order to see how to install or use shlink.

• #186 Added a small robots.txt file that prevents 404 errors to be logged due to search engines trying to index the domain where shlink is located. Thanks to @robwent for the contribution.

Changed

• #145 Shlink now obfuscates IP addresses from visitors by replacing the latest octet by 0, which does not affect geolocation and allows it to fulfil the GDPR.

  Other known services follow this same approach, like Google Analytics or Matomo

• #182 The short URL creation API endpoints now return the same model used for lists and details endpoints.

Deprecated

• Nothing

Removed

• Nothing

Fixed

• #188 Shlink now allows multiple short URLs to be created that resolve to the same long URL.

1.11.0 - 2018-08-13

Added

• #170 and #171 Updated [GET /short-codes] and [GET /short-codes/{shortCode}] endpoints to return more meaningful information and make their response consistent.

  The short URLs are now represented by this object in both cases:

  {
      "shortCode": "12Kb3",
      "shortUrl": "https://doma.in/12Kb3",
      "longUrl": "https://shlink.io",
      "dateCreated": "2016-05-01T20:34:16+02:00",
      "visitsCount": 1029,
      "tags": [
          "shlink"
      ],
      "originalUrl": "https://shlink.io"
  }
  

  The originalUrl property is considered deprecated and has been kept for backward compatibility purposes. It holds the same value as the longUrl property.

Changed

• Nothing

Deprecated

• The originalUrl property in [GET /short-codes] and [GET /short-codes/{shortCode}] endpoints is now deprecated and replaced by the longUrl property.

Removed

• Nothing

Fixed

• Nothing

1.10.2 - 2018-08-04

Added

• Nothing

Changed

• Nothing

Deprecated

• Nothing

Removed

• Nothing

Fixed

• #177 Fixed [GET] /short-codes endpoint returning a 500 status code when trying to filter by tags and searchTerm at the same time.

• #175 Fixed error introduced in previous version, where you could end up banned from the service used to resolve IP address locations.

  In order to fix that, just fill this form including your server's IP address and your server should be unbanned.

  In order to prevent this, after resolving 150 IP addresses, shlink now waits 1 minute before trying to resolve any more addresses.

1.10.1 - 2018-08-02

Added

• Nothing

Changed

• #167 Shlink version is now set at build time to avoid older version numbers to be kept in newer builds.

Deprecated

Fixed

• #165 Fixed custom slugs failing when they are longer than 10 characters.

• #166 Fixed unusual edge case in which visits were not properly counted when ordering by visit and filtering by search term in [GET] /short-codes API endpoint.

• #174 Fixed geolocation not working due to a deprecation on used service.

• #172 Documented missing filtering params for [GET] /short-codes/{shortCode}/visits API endpoint, which allow the list to be filtered by date range.

  For example: https://doma.in/rest/v1/short-urls/abc123/visits?startDate=2017-05-23&endDate=2017-10-05

• #169 Fixed unhandled error when parsing ShortUrlMeta and date fields are already DateTime instances.

• #155 Improved the pagination object returned in lists, including more meaningful properties.

  • Old structure:

  {
    "pagination": {
      "currentPage": 1,
      "pagesCount": 2
    }
  }
  

  • New structure:

  {
    "pagination": {
      "currentPage": 2,
      "pagesCount": 13,
      "itemsPerPage": 10,
      "itemsInCurrentPage": 10,

1.9.0 - 2018-05-07

Added

• #147 Allowed short URLs to be created on the fly using a single API request, including the API key in a query param.

  This eases integration with third party services.

  With this feature, a simple request to a URL like https://doma.in/rest/v1/short-codes/shorten?apiKey=[YOUR_API_KEY]&longUrl=[URL_TO_BE_SHORTENED] would return the shortened one in JSON or plain text format.
