  • Strong validation and clear error messages for duplicate, expired, or already-redeemed tokens.
Analytics & Dashboard

  • Dashboard tiles prepared for per-token usage charts and CSV export.
  • Internal performance metrics wired for future “high volume” plan visibility.
v0.6.0 — QR & Barcode Request Logging Beta

QR Code Barcode Reporting Dashboard
Structured Request & Response Logging
  • QR and barcode generation requests now logged into dedicated tables with normalized fields.
  • Captured fields include payload, format, sizing, colors, and options — ready for per-customer analytics.
  • Execution time per call recorded for later performance dashboards.
Unified Format Handling
  • Barcode format mapping aligned across C# and stored procedures for predictable behaviour.
  • Improved validation for unsupported or mismatched formats (e.g. EAN/UPC/ITF vs QR/Data Matrix).
v0.5.0 — Image Hosting Storage & Metadata Beta

Components

Image Hosting Reporting Dashboard
Image Upload Pipeline
  • Refined upload endpoint with a dedicated InsertImageRecord stored procedure for consistent metadata writes.

Error Handling & Diagnostics
  • Improved handling of stored procedure parameter mismatches and output parameters with MySqlConnector.
  • Better diagnostic messages in logs for traceability when uploads fail.
v0.4.0 — Short URL Analytics & Click Streams Beta

Components

Shortener Reporting Dashboard
Click Stream JSON API

  • Base short URL metadata (long URL, code, created/expiry dates) bundled with the click array in one query for efficient dashboards.
Listing & Filters
  • Short URL listing optimized with per-row click counts and optional API label filtering.
  • Search filters for code and long URL, with date range support for reporting windows.
  • Indexes aligned with real filter usage to avoid unnecessary full table scans.
