New Linktaco Release 0.6.0

Published: Sep 9, 2025 by Peter Sanchez in Announcement, News

Happy to announce that we released a new LinkTaco version. The whopping version 0.6.0.

This release covers some issues caused by spam and AI scraper bots. We implemented new changes to help limit spammers from showing up on the Recent and Popular pages.

Also we bumped the version of gobwebs to add the usage of a new DBI instance which manages a single database transaction throughout the entire request cycle. This move was a bit bumpy as we found a few transaction leak scenarios and addressed them as they poked their ugly heads out. Again, the spammers didn’t help with this. So if you noticed the site very slow or seemingly hanging, we apologize! At this point we believe we’ve flushed all the bugs out. At least related to this new DBI move.

We also added the “tag” endpoints the Pinboard API to GraphQL bridge. This basically completes the bridge. Originally we weren’t going to add the tag calls but noticing a few tools depend on them we decided to adapt to it. Another feature is the ability to specify which organization you want to use for a Pinboard API call which is useful for those with multiple organizations. For more details see the Pinboard API Bridge documentation

Here are the relevant additions to the CHANGELOG.

Added

Ability to specify organization in Pinboard API bridge calls
Bookmarklet button to settings page.
Filtering by domain for shorts and link listings.
getTags query to GraphQL api.
/v1/tags/* calls to Pinboard api bridge.

Added ability to rename and delete tags via the Pinboard API bridge.
domains.SafeForContext for template handling.

Fixed

Bug processing invalid UTF8 characters when parsing website metadata.
