New Linktaco Release 0.5.0

Published: Jul 19, 2025 by Peter Sanchez in Announcement, News

Happy to announce that we released a new LinkTaco version. The whopping version 0.5.0.

Honestly we haven’t had a ton of time to work on the project features so this release is mostly focused on bug fixes. We fixed quite a few issues and some annoyances as well with the interface.

We also added a big feature which is the Pinboard API to GraphQL bridge. This means that if you use an existing Pinboard API client, you can now use it with LinkTaco as well. For more details see the Pinboard API Bridge documentation

Here are the relevant additions to the CHANGELOG.

Added

Ability to hide spammers or seo farms from the recent or popular pages.
Pinboard API to GraphQL bridge

Fixed

No longer showing empty ordering options on pages that don’t support it.
URL jumping up with description when description is too short. Happens on saved bookmark listing pages.
Issue with encoding email subject lines when pulled from a template file.
Issue saving tags longer than 50 chars (not allowed)
No longer using regexp to parse null entries from json (no clue wtf we were thinking there)
Issue where tag characters can cause PostgreSQL to return errors. Also limit tag queries to tag name limit (50).
tag autocomplete issues with selection and navigation using the keyboard.

Changed

How BaseURL.UpdateCounter works. Now uses a subselect to set proper count
Now will alwyas call UpdateCounter when calling the updateLink mutation. This addresses a small counter bug / edge case.
Links to external sites will now have rel=“nofollow” to help avoid the site from becoming a spam haven.
No more leading hash marks in tag names
Only show save count when the URL has been publicly saved more than once.

Closed Tickets

Hope you enjoy the updates! We’re going to work on new features for the next release so stay tuned.
