Hello everyone, we're excited to announce the release of YOURLS 1.10 \o/

Salute to Tatiana « Tati » Shmayluk \m/​

In our tradition to name a new release after a metal vocalist, we're dedicating 1.10 to Tatiana "Tati" Shmayluk, frontwoman of Ukrainian heavy metal band Jinjer. I'm in awe of her ability to scream her throat out almost every night on tour, and her courage to face anxiety off-stage without the help of alcohol (two years sober!). If you haven't listened to Jinjer before, why not start with the badass title track from their new album, "Duél"? 🤘

What's new this time?​

YOURLS 1.10 is a big jump for future compatibility. Most of the work that went into this release was on making sure PHP 8.4 and MySQL 8+ will work. Of course, there are also bug fixes: to the login page, searching your shorturls, and API return codes.

Note that YOURLS now requires PHP 8.1 as a minimum. We also run tests on every version up to and including PHP 8.4.

Those interested will find more boring details in the CHANGELOG as usual.

Even more documentation improvements​

We took our VuePress docs and made them even better. The documentation now lives inside YOURLS' main website at yourls.org/docs, putting everything together for us to keep updated more easily. Switching to Docusaurus 2 helped with that AND kept both of the main points for users:

  • The whole website is fully searchable with as-you-type page & section suggestions

  • There's still an "Edit this page" link to quickly propose fixes to YOURLS/website.

Wrapping it up​

Over the years YOURLS has been consistently in the Top 100 PHP projects on GitHub and we are really humbled and honoured. From the bottom of our hearts, we're sending a warm thank you to every people using YOURLS in small personal projects or large corporate environment, to people writing plugins and providing materials that make a vivid ecosystem, to people financially supporting the project, and to everyone telling the world about it!

Now it's time to do your part!

  • Update YOURLS! As usual, this would make a nice occasion for a little backup 😉
  • Tweet about this release, make friends know about it and entice them to update
  • Star us on GitHub if you haven't already 😉
  • Plugin author? Write some tests!
  • Translation maintainer? Update your translation!

Peace to you, and Слава Україні! 🇺🇦
