+++ date = "2010-04-30" title = "Firefly 0.4.1 released" tags = ["firefly", "url shortening"] slug = "firefly-041-released" +++ I just pushed Firefly 0.4.1 to Rubygems. Updating is easy:

Don't forget to restart your server, that's all.

The 0.4.1 release covers the following changes:

• Normalize URLs before shortening them. This prevents false duplicates.
• Validate URLs to be valid HTTP or HTTPS, don't accept others. Closes #8
• Don't ask for the API key after shortening a URL with the bookmarklet.
• Show the highlighted URL separately. Closes #7.
