Issue Summary

I was having troubles with the 255-char limit of the URL. In my application, we have links to pages of a library which are much longer. I increased it to VARCHAR(1023). If I am not the only one with such problems, it might be worth increasing the size in the release (as it's VARCHAR, this should not impact performance/database size too much).

Best,
Kaspar

Thanks, I went ahead and bumped this up to varchar 1024, but I didn't put an upgrade path in place. This should at least prevent users from needing to manually make this change in the future.

Hi,

Sorry for opening this, but this fix never went on 6. I'm correct?

Thanks.

You are, indeed, incorrect. It's available as the 6.x-2.x-dev version.
