The title gives it away already - FLINK 2.0.0 is out. For those who have not yet heard about Flink - Flink is a F(L)OSS URL/Link Shortener that is production-ready in less than a minute, and ships with many decent features out-of-the-box (QR Codes, Prometheus-compatible Metrics, Link Previews to embed on your website to name a few). Flink is extremely easy to self-host, simple and secure by default, scalable when needed and extensible by nature.
