Release notes

This release resolves security issues and is recommended for everyone.

See SA-CONTRIB-2012-121 - Shorten URLs - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

Release notes

This is mostly a bugfix release. Things you might want to know about:

• The goo.gl URL shortening service is now supported
• There are two new settings to adjust the amount of time full URLs are cached if retrieving a shortened URL fails and to adjust the amount of time before a request for a short URL times out
• If you were using the "Record Shorten" module, its list of shortened URLs has moved to the Reports section (admin/reports/shorten).

Release notes

This release fixes some bugs and adds a major new feature: a submodule that adds an input filter that can automatically shorten URLs. It should be very stable. It is also the branch point for the Drupal 7 branch, and is now in maintenance mode only as active development shifts to the Drupal 7 branch.

Changes since 6.x-1.10

Release notes

The Drupal 7 development build.

Release notes

The biggest change in this release is that it adds Views integration for the Record Shorten submodule.

Upgrade notes

• Everyone should run update.php after upgrading to this release.
• The behavior of the Shorten aliased URLs where possible setting was the reverse of the description before this release. Its behavior has now been corrected, which means its behavior is now the reverse of what you had it set to before.

Release notes

This bug-fix release is recommended for everyone.

Changes from 6.x-1.6

• #767712: Use non aliased path for shortening. (thanks zyxware)
• When cURL fails, it returns FALSE. Prevent that FALSE from being run through string functions.
• Make the "www instead of http" setting work with https
• If the "www instead of http" setting is enabled, don't add "www" if the URL already begins with "www"
• #736334: Error message (Fixed another problem with cURL failing very early due to bad server configuration)
• #786684: Upgrade bit.ly/j.mp API to v3 (thanks jtolj)

Release notes

This release is recommended for everyone.

Upgrade notes

• Drupal caches should be cleared after upgrading (run update.php)
• New settings are available at admin/settings/shorten
• The API has changed slightly per #628160. The change will only affect developers using custom services in hook_shorten_service().
