Version History

Note: This site's version history may be incomplete and may lack significant details.


Version 2.4.2 - March 4, 2024.

• Sunsetted iorl.info domain and transferred site to iorl.sulliops.co


Version 2.4.1 - June 16, 2022.

• Fixed an issue that prevented hash strings from being processed if changed after the initial page load.


Version 2.4 - June 14, 2022.

• IorL now uses the # after the root domain to process strings via the address bar, instead of ? queries. This allows for better processing of special characters in strings containing links.


Version 2.3.4 - March 14, 2022.

• Removed "FAQ" link from tool-only.php header, and replaced it with an external link icon that redirects to index.php (for embeds).


Version 2.3.3 - September 7, 2021.

• Fixed issue preventing spaces from being decoded when processing queries using the ?[YOUR_STRING_HERE] feature. Links with spaces can now also be processed using this method.


Version 2.3.2 - April 23-24, 2021.

• Modified algorithm to strip %20 from queries using the ?[YOUR_STRING_HERE] feature, allowing users to input strings with spaces using that method. Note: this feature does not work with links including spaces.

• Per u/ichankal's suggestion, added the ability to distinguish between capital O and the number 0. Capital O is now changed to lowercase o, and 0 is now shown with strikethrough tags (thanks u/whineylittlebitch_9k for pointing out the best method of accomplishing this).

• Per u/Quant112358's suggestion, ones are now shown with strikethrough tags.

• Optimized algorithm.


Version 2.3.1 - March 26-27, 2021.

• Eliminated inline styles and scripts. Modified algorithm to change elements using classes, as opposed to inline styles.


Version 2.3 — February 25-27, 2020.

• Added the ability to invoke the algorithm using query. It can now be used like https://iorl.sulliops.co/?[your-string].

• Made navbar sticky. Added drop shadow to navbar to distinguish on sections with same background color.

• Added CCPA/GDPR disclaimers in FAQs.

• Commented algorithms.

• Added Yandex.Translate translation tool.

• Fixed misspelling of "sensitive" for link results. Previously, it was spelled "sensative". I'm not dyslexic, but there's a serious case here for me to see a doctor. Thanks to @cwkhawand for pointing that out!


Version 2.2.1 — October 25, 2019.

• Added styling to support notched mobile devices.


Version 2.2 — August 10-11, 2019.

• Changed algorithm to set unused elements for a given string to display:none; as opposed to visibility:hidden;, and display:initial; as opposed to visibility:visible;.

• Fixed element spacing issues on main pages (index.php and tool-only.php). This involved adding new <br> elements and modifying others, as well as adding new variables and IDs for certain elements that the algorithm interacts with.

• Added a code-style <pre> element that displays when link results are displyed that shows the original link in plain-text form.

• Changed warning text that displays with link results to detail the added <pre> element.

• Edited version-history.php to include bullet points in front of each changelog item.

• Changed footer of tool-only.php to white.

• Added <code> tags in place of most instances of "" in version history.

• Changed titles of each individual page to better represent the content of each page. For example, the title of index.php was changed from I or l? to Home — I or l?.

Version 2.1
