Dear community, due to the rise of unsolicited and "by surprise" pull requests, all AI generated, Shlink won't be accepting external contributions anymore. Thank those who don't care.
You can still open issues and discussions.
Released Shlink Web Client 4.7.0 and Shlink Dashboard 0.2.3, adding support for Shlink 5.0.0
slnk.to/4.7.0-web
slnk.to/0.2.3-dash
This kind of behavior is not welcome in the Shlink project.
Issues and PRs looking like AI- generated will be closed with no further notice.
Dear community, I beg you to avoid reporting AI-generated issues or pull requests, with an extremely verbose wall-of-text description.
Respect your OSS maintainers and be mindful of their time. Make the effort to manually write well thought and concise descriptions.

This is mainly a "cleanup" release, removing a lot of old deprecated code which makes it easier for future functionalities to be developed.
As a major release, it introduces breaking changes, so make sure you check the upgrade guide slnk.to/upgrade-4-to-5

This release also includes fixes for the latest vulnerabilities found in React Server Components, so it is strongly advised to update.
Shlink Dashboard 0.2.0 just released 🚀
It brings a few UI improvements and bugfixes, as well as full support for Shlink 4.6.0
slnk.to/dash-0.2.0
The attack seems to have stopped, so shlink.io is up again (at least provisionally), but I will continue monitoring it.
The attack is still ongoing. I got app.shlink.io back up, as it is not affected, but I can't bring shlink.io up due to the cost it would have.
Next week I will evaluate putting it behind Cloudflare or similar to try to mitigate the situation.
app.shlink.io might still work if you accessed it before and have it cached in your device.
FYI, shlink.io, app.shlink.io and slnk.to are currently down due to a DDoS attack.
I'm trying to reach my service provider to see what can be done.

We have crossed 4000 stars on GitHub ⭐
Just take into account the first release can be unstable, and I'll keep v0.* until I feel it has been tested by enough people. Next versions may introduce breaking changes until v1.0 is released.
It's also lacking a couple feature that will be available in future.
I'm very happy to announce Shlink Dashboard has just been released 🎉
Give it a try and let me know what you think.
