Version 3 - Major refact

This version has many breaking changes.

• the AzUrlShortener project will not ONLY do redirect.

This was done to simplify the deployment and make it secure. With version 3 this project can only read from the table storage, therefore doesn't require AAD. You can manage the URLs with the Azure portal, the Azure Storage explorer, or the TinyBlazorAdmin project (also now on v3)

• The Azure Function is now v4 and runs in an isolated process
• .NET 6.0 is used

Supports More Statistics

• bug fixes
• more Statistics features
• Using stable dependencies

Version 2.0.2

• a more random, less predicable vanity generator
• avoid collision between same vanity (generated or not)

Thanks to:

• @ThDJRenton
• @Hedlund01

version 2.0.1

• Bumping dependencies
• Returning the Custom domain when configured into settings.json
• Update documentation

Version 2.0

This is a major version
Version 2.0 brings breaking changes.

• Instead of having a clear text password in the configuration file it now uses Azure Active Directory (AAD)
• The support for TinyBlazorAdmin a static webapp to manage the URLs.
• Extremely budget-friendly (very close to be free... seriously)
