Changelog

Track noteworthy changes across the portal, edge service, and SDKs. For platform-specific details, see each SDK repo.


Unreleased​

Dependency upgrade compatibility​

  • Restored Express 5 route startup, scalar parameter validation, and empty update request handling.
  • Kept Stripe billing API compatibility across legacy and current subscription, promotion, and invoice payloads.
  • Aligned React and React DOM, and migrated Sentry 11 build and initialization configuration.
  • Kept the Portal on its compatible Tailwind 3/class-merger stack pending a separate visual migration; the Help site retains Tailwind 4.
  • Billing management and checkout reconciliation now require verified account ownership and protect existing customer/subscription assignments.
  • Guest account setup uses an emailed claim link. Existing accounts sign in before starting another checkout.
  • Authentication validates token purpose and provider email proof; session versions invalidate superseded credentials and pre-verification sessions.
  • Link management, SDK attribution, and public resolution consistently honor app, environment, surface, and API-key permissions.
  • Portal link analytics now requires the same per-app grants as other app resources.
  • SDK resolution now honors link expiry and single-use policies, and suspended team members cannot manage API keys.

These changes are pending review and deployment. They do not require an SDK version change.


September 2026​

SDK reliability and integration updates​

  • Current releases: Node 0.2.14, Web 0.2.15, React Native 0.2.15, Android 0.2.14, iOS 0.2.16, and Flutter 0.3.4.
  • Improved listener cleanup, consent and identity handling, and protection against stale responses during reconfiguration.
  • Flutter supports SwiftPM integration and macOS URL forwarding with LinkMeKit 0.2.16.
  • Expanded contract, browser, and mobile integration coverage. Validate real store attribution and physical-device privacy flows for your own app before release.
  • Install iOS through SwiftPM or the Git tag while the current CocoaPods registry spec is pending publication.

August 2026​

Project assets and environment webhooks​

Added — Project-level asset libraries and environment-scoped webhook delivery.

  • Reusable titles, descriptions, and images are shared by every app target in a project.
  • Existing unambiguous legacy asset libraries are backfilled to their project; ambiguous scopes remain isolated until assigned.
  • Webhooks can target one app target or every app target in an environment.
  • Webhook event data includes the matched product surface so one environment endpoint can route downstream without per-surface webhook configuration.
  • Surface-to-target mappings are configured from the project routing map; environment pages now show the selected environment's mappings and links read-only.

July 2026​

Projects and environment-scoped app targets​

Added — Projects can now contain multiple environments, product surfaces, and native app targets.

  • One branded hostname can serve multiple applications through scoped paths such as /customer/i/... and /staff/i/....
  • Each environment has isolated domains, bundle IDs, Android packages and fingerprints, fallback origins, and link policies.
  • AASA and assetlinks.json responses aggregate every enabled target for the requested environment hostname.
  • Product surfaces can share a binary; for example, /staff/* and /admin/* can both target the Staff application.
  • Links can carry expiry and one-time-use policies, and multi-target domains reject ambiguous unscoped paths.

April 2026​

Portal authentication updates​

Added — GitHub OAuth sign-in and registration in the Portal auth flow.

  • New Continue with GitHub option on /auth
  • OAuth start/callback endpoints for GitHub with state validation
  • Existing account linking by normalized email across email/password, Google OAuth, and GitHub OAuth
  • Automatic verification when onboarding through supported OAuth providers

Improved — Deployment and environment handling for social auth credentials.

  • GitHub OAuth secrets standardized to GH_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID and GH_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET
  • Deployment workflow updated to pass and write GitHub OAuth secrets for production
  • Backward-compatible runtime fallback for legacy GITHUB_* variable names in local environments

Admin and analytics updates​

Improved — Better visibility into authentication source and user origin.

  • Superadmin users table now shows a GitHub provider badge
  • GA4 event typing and backfill mapping expanded for github_oauth methods

March 2026​

MCP server & API standards​

Added — Model Context Protocol (MCP) support is now implemented and available.

  • MCP server for LinkMe admin and diagnostics workflows
  • OpenAPI hardening aligned with production Edge routes
  • Schema-first tool generation from OpenAPI contracts (typed MCP tools + validation)
  • Security baseline with scoped API keys, capability checks, audit logs, and guarded write operations

Platform improvements​

Improved — We shipped a broad set of quality and usability upgrades across LinkMe.

  • Better reliability and guardrails across link management workflows
  • Smoother custom domain setup and transfer handling
  • Improved Portal experience for managing and organizing links
  • Added ability to hide and show links in Portal link management
  • Cleaner behavior for short-link lifecycle and maintenance
  • Better routing consistency across redirect scenarios
  • General stability fixes and polish across portal, edge, and SDK surfaces

February 2026​

Webhooks​

Added — Webhook support for app-level event streaming.

  • Configure per-app webhook endpoints in Developer settings
  • Subscribe by event type (link.click, link.token_created, link.claim, link.app_open, link.deferred_claim_attempt)
  • Delivery history with attempt status and retry visibility
  • Retry/backoff behavior with automatic disable safeguards
  • Optional HMAC signing via X-LinkMe-Signature plus Node SDK helpers for verification

January 2026​

Attribution diagnostics​

Added — Better visibility into where link traffic comes from.

  • Link detail analytics include source and referrer fields for click-level inspection
  • UTM merge behavior and overrides were hardened in resolver flows
  • UTM Debugger improvements make pre-launch campaign attribution checks easier

December 2025​

Added — Passthrough universal links so unknown paths still open the app without pre-creating a link.

Improved — Clearer controls for managing passthrough behavior in app settings.

Portal experience​

Improved — Faster navigation, clearer icons, and smoother loading states across the portal.

Analytics & insights​

Improved — More reliable charts, cleaner date grouping, and better pagination.

Billing & promos​

Added — Promo codes and a more streamlined checkout flow.

Resources & docs​

Added — New resources/articles hub with refreshed guides and redirects.

SDK updates​

Updated — SDKs refreshed for consistency and improved link handling across platforms.


November 2025​

Web SDK release​

Added — Official Web SDK for browser-based applications.

  • Zero-dependency TypeScript library compatible with all modern frameworks
  • Works seamlessly with Next.js, React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, and vanilla JavaScript

Implementation examples​

  • Post-release validation: after each release, verify one representative link flow for iOS, Android, and web fallback before marking rollout complete.
  • Billing-impacting release: pair changelog notes with plan/entitlement verification from Billing, plans, and entitlements.
  • Developer-facing release: update Developer reference and Developer setup links in the same release window.

Troubleshooting release adoption​

  • If users report behavior that does not match release notes, confirm environment/version alignment first.
  • If a changelog item is present but missing in production, check phased rollout status and feature-flag scope.
  • If downstream integrations break after an update, verify webhook/event schema expectations and retry safety.
