    • FIXING: Various usability issues with different screen sizes / device types in the "bootstrap" template
    • CHANGED: Instead of having different options to enable and preselect certain formats there is now a generic [formatter_options] section where formats can be added to the displayed format drop down menu. A defaultformatter can be set, it defaults to "plaintext". The syntaxhighlighting configuration got deprecated.
    • zerobin.js got a major refactoring:
      • moved from global namespace into anonymous function
      • events are no longer set via "onclick" attributes in the templates, but bound by from JS side
      • for simpler maintenance the functions were grouped into objects: zerobin (display logic, event handling), filter (compression, encryption), i18n (translation, counterpart of i18n.php) and helper (stateless utilities)
    • Wiki pages were added to address common topics:
  • 0.20 (2015-09-03):
    • ADDED: Password protected pastes (optional)
    • ADDED: configuration options for highlighting, password, discussions, expiration times, rate limiting
    • ADDED: JSON-only retrieval of paste incl. discussion, used to be able to refresh paste when posting a comment
    • ADDED: bootstrap CSS based template
    • CHANGED: "Burn after reading" pastes are now deleted only after the paste was successfully decrypted via callback. This prevents accidental deletion by chatbots following URLs and the like. Usage of a password is suggested to ensure only the desired recipient is able to encrypt it.
    • CHANGED: the "opendiscussion" option now only controls if the discussion checkbox is preselected. Use "discussion = false" to disable the discussion feature completely (which also removes the checkbox from the template).
    • FIXING: Behaviour of several conflicting configuration options. As a general measure unit tests for 9 of the options and all their possible configurations were added via a unit test generator.
    • updated JS libraries: jquery to 1.11.3, sjcl to 1.0.2, base64.js to 2.1.9, deflate to 0.5, inflate to 0.3 and prettify to latest
    • generally improved documentation, both inline phpdoc / JSdoc source code documentation, as well as Wiki pages on installation, configuration, development and JSON-API
  • Alpha 0.19 (2013-07-05):
    • Corrected XSS security flaw which affected IE<10. Other browsers were not affected.
    • Corrected spacing display in IE<10.
  • Alpha 0.18 (2013-02-24):
    • ADDED: The resulting URL is automatically selected after pressing "Send". You just have to press CTRL+C.
    • ADDED: Automatic syntax highlighting for 53 languages using highlight.js
    • ADDED: "5 minutes" and "1 week" expirations.
    • ADDED: "Raw text" button.
    • jQuery upgraded to 1.9.1
    • sjcl upgraded to GitHub master 2013-02-23
    • base64.js upgraded to 1.7
    • FIXED: Dates in discussion are now proper local dates.
    • ADDED: Robot meta tags in HTML to prevent search engines indexing.
    • ADDED: Better json checking (including entropy).
    • ADDED: Added version to js/css assets URLs in order to prevent some abusive caches to serve an obsolete version of these files when ZeroBin is upgraded.
    • "Burn after reading" option has been moved out of Expiration combo to a separate checkbox. Reason is: You can prevent a read-once paste to be available ad vitam eternam on the net.
  • Alpha 0.17 (2013-02-23):
    • ADDED: Deletion URL.
    • small refactoring.
    • improved regex checks.
    • larger server alt on installation.
  • Alpha 0.16:
    • FIXED minor php warnings.
    • FIXED: zerobin.js reformated and properly commented.
    • FIXED: Directory structure re-organized.
    • CHANGED: URL shortening button was removed. (It was bad for privacy.)
  • Alpha 0.15 (2012-04-20):
    • FIXED: 2 minor corrections to avoid notices in php log.
    • FIXED: Sources converted to UTF-8.
  • Alpha 0.14 (2012-04-20):
    • ADDED: GD presence is checked.
    • CHANGED: Traffic limiter data files moved to data/ (→easier rights management)
    • ADDED: "Burn after reading" implemented. Opening the URL will display the paste and immediately destroy it on server.
  • Alpha 0.13 (2012-04-18):
    • FIXED: ''imageantialias()'' call removed because it's not really usefull and can be a problem on most hosts (if GD is not compiled in php).
    • FIXED: $error not properly initialized in index.php
  • Alpha 0.12 (2012-04-18):
    • DISCUSSIONS ! Now you can enable discussions on your pastes. Of course, posted comments and nickname are also encrypted and the server cannot see them.
    • This feature implies a change in storage format. You will have to delete all previous pastes in your ZeroBin.
    • Added [[php:vizhash_gd|Vizhash]] as avatars, so you can match posters IP addresses without revealing them. (Same image = same IP). Of course the IP address cannot be deduced from the Vizhash.
    • Remaining time before expiration is now displayed.
    • Explicit tags were added to CSS and jQuery selectors (eg. div#aaa instead of #aaa) to speed up browser.
    • Better cleaning of the URL (to make sure the key is not broken by some stupid redirection service)
  • Alpha 0.11 (2012-04-12):
    • Automatically ignore parameters (such as &utm_source=...) added //after// the anchor by some stupid Web 2.0 services.
    • First public release.
  • Alpha 0.10 (2012-04-12):
    • IE9 does not seem to correctly support ''pre-wrap'' either. Special handling mode activated for all version of IE<10. (Note: ALL other browsers correctly support this feature.)
  • Alpha 0.9 (2012-04-11):
    • Oh bummer... IE 8 is as shitty as IE6/7: Its does not seem to support ''white-space:pre-wrap'' correctly. I had to activate the special handling mode. I still have to test IE 9.
  • Alpha 0.8 (2012-04-11):
    • Source code not published yet.
    • Interface completely redesigned. Icons added.
    • Now properly supports IE6/7 (ugly display, but it works. "Clone" button is disabled though.)
    • Added one level of depth for storage directories (This is better for higher load servers).
    • php version is now checked (min: 5.2.6)
    • Better checks on posted json data on server.
    • Added "1 year" expiration.
    • URLs are now converted to clickable links. This include http, https, ftp and magnet links.
    • Clickable links include ''rel="nofollow"'' to discourage SEO.
    • On my public service (http://sebsauvage.net/paste/)
      • All data will be deleted (you were warned - this is a test service)
      • Default paste expiration is now 1 month to prevent clogging-up my host.
