It’s with great joy that I announce a fix for one of the more niggling little bugs in Linking You, a glitch caused by us failing to correctly encode our own strings when we pass them to be minified. What this meant, put simply, was that we’d ignore anything in a URI after the first ampersand or hash symbol.
This is now no longer the case, and all your URIs which are minified in future will work exactly as expected. A friendly reminder to anybody using the API – please make sure you’re correctly encoding URIs when you pass them as a parameter or things won’t work properly.
On a related heads up for API users (including all end users who are using lncn.eu/api to minify addresses in things like Twitter clients), we will soon be requiring user-specific API keys for these to function. More details next week!
Hŵre! Hŵroc!
