• PyPI bitlyshortener: < 0.6.0 → fixed in 0.6.0

Description

Impact Due to a sudden upstream breaking change by Bitly, versions of `bitlyshortener` <0.6.0 generate invalid short URLs. All users are affected and must update immediately. Patches Upgrading `bitlyshortener` to 0.6.0 or newer will prevent the generation such invalid short URLs. Workarounds A workaround is to replace "https://j.mp/" in each generated short URL with "https://bit.ly/". References • Release notes
