Tab Group Share v1.1.1 - Changelog

This release brings significant optimizations to reduce the size of the generated share codes (payloads).

🚀 Performance & Optimizations

Reduced Payload Size (V3 Encoding): Introduced a new, highly compact encoding format (Version 3). By stripping out unnecessary JSON characters and using a pipe-delimited (|) structure, the overall length of share codes is dramatically reduced.
URL Parameter Cleanup: Automatically strips out long, unnecessary tracking parameters (like utm_source, utm_campaign, utm_medium, ref, etc.) before encoding.
Protocol & www. Optimization: Removes http://, https://, and www. prefixes during encoding to save extra space. These are automatically restored during the decoding process.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Delimiter Collision Prevention: Added an escape mechanism for URLs or group names that naturally contain the pipe (|) character, preventing decoding errors and payload corruption.
🔄 Backward Compatibility

Seamless Compatibility: Any existing V1 or V2 share codes generated in older versions (v1.1.0 and below) are fully supported and will continue to work flawlessly.
