SMJI URL Shortener API for Developers

Version 1.3.0 Latest Release

Released on September 18, 2026

Developer Experience & Support

Global Live Search (⌘K / Ctrl+K): Built a real-time AJAX search engine indexing short URLs, custom back-half aliases, and support tickets with debounced query dispatching.
Ticket Attachment Pipeline: Added direct image upload support (JPEG, PNG, WEBP, GIF up to 5MB) for support tickets with automatic directory creation, MIME verification, and lightbox preview.
Ticket Lifecycle & Resolution: Added user-driven ticket resolution controls allowing developers to mark resolved issues directly from the thread view.
Dynamic Pricing Integration: Converted static pricing pages into real-time SQL-backed tiers (Pixy, Neu, Algon) with automatic user plan detection and contextual action buttons.
Database-Driven Roadmap: Launched a dynamic platform roadmap pulling real-time milestones (`now`, `next`, `later`, `completed`) directly from MySQL.
Persistent Contact Engine: Replaced static contact information with a CSRF-protected, database-logged inquiry form with automatic IP logging and Super Admin review readiness.
Objective Comparison Matrix: Added a detailed benchmark section evaluating SMJI against Bitly, Rebrandly, and TinyURL on developer tooling, API limits, and INR pricing.

Developer Tool Whitelisting: Refined the `isSuspiciousRequest()` security shield to permit legitimate API developer tools (Postman, cURL, python-requests) while maintaining scraper blocks.
Strict Domain & Origin Binding: Hardened API key verification to check browser `Origin` headers against verified user domains, stopping unauthorized cross-domain key re-use.
Dashboard Topbar Redesign: Streamlined developer navigation with unified Lucide-style iconography, a modernized avatar container, and quick links to API docs and keys.
Immediate Session Purge: Implemented strict multi-step session invalidation and cookie clearing on logout to eliminate lingering dashboard sessions.

Fixed HTML entity double-encoding bug (`&`, ` `) appearing in support ticket bodies and replies by pre-normalizing entity states prior to sanitization.
Fixed relative endpoint routing in external sandbox test files that triggered 404 responses when executing requests across external hostnames.
Fixed passive query-string logout links in the developer sidebar that previously failed to invalidate authenticated sessions.
