IPGetter changelog

Major user-facing milestones only. Small fixes, maintenance work and internal implementation details are intentionally left out.

Latest public updatev2.20.322 Sep 2026

Diagnostic deep-link fixes

Corrected Domain Health action links so Robots.txt and XML Sitemap findings open their destination tools with the inspected domain already filled in.

v2.20.222 Sep 2026

Actionable diagnostic details

Expanded Domain Health response metadata so integrations can explain exactly what needs attention instead of only reporting a score.

  • Security-header findings now include the exact baseline headers that need attention.
  • DMARC findings now expose a simple state for missing, monitoring, enforcing or duplicate-policy cases.
  • No rate limits, endpoint paths or existing response fields were changed.
v2.20.122 Sep 2026

Developer API navigation polish

Refined the Developer API section navigation so the redesigned page stays lightweight and easy to scan while scrolling.

  • Replaced the bulky rounded jump-navigation box with a slim section bar that matches the rest of the site.
  • Added active-section highlighting as you scroll through access levels, endpoints, authentication, examples and reference.
  • Made the sticky state compact beneath the main header with a subtle divider/shadow instead of a floating panel.
  • On narrow screens the section links stay on one horizontally scrollable row instead of wrapping into a grid.

v2.20.022 Sep 2026

Developer API clarity

Rebuilt the Developer API page around the decisions developers actually need to make instead of presenting every detail at the same level.

  • Added an immediate Anonymous vs Free API key comparison with exact standard and Domain Health quotas.
  • Condensed the endpoint catalogue into a scan-friendly reference with one-click request copying.
  • Moved examples, response contracts, errors, CORS, privacy and data-source details into focused expandable reference sections.
  • Made it explicit that authentication changes quota and request identity, not endpoint access or response format.

v2.19.922 Sep 2026

Consistent first-party Terminal history

Made every interactive Terminal on IPGetter share the same history behavior while keeping third-party embeds isolated.

  • Guest commands now share one browser-local history across the homepage Terminal and the full /terminal experience.
  • Signed-in users get the same account-synced Terminal history on the homepage as they do on the full Terminal page.
  • Third-party hosted embeds and editor previews remain page-local so command history never crosses unrelated websites.
  • Keeps the existing 40-command limit and Up/Down navigation behavior.
Homepage ->Open Terminal ->
v2.19.822 Sep 2026

Persistent guest Terminal history

Made the full first-party Terminal remember recent guest commands on the current browser without extending that history into third-party embeds.

  • Guest command history on /terminal now survives refreshes using browser-local storage.
  • Keeps the most recent 40 commands and restores them immediately through Up/Down history navigation.
  • Public embeds, homepage demos and editor previews remain page-local so command history does not appear across unrelated host sites.
  • Signed-in users continue to use account-synced history instead of browser-local guest storage.

v2.19.721 Sep 2026

Structured DNS API

Added a versioned DNS lookup endpoint so integrations can use the same forward-DNS service as IPGetter's web tools.

  • Added /api/v1/dns for A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS and CNAME records.
  • Returns structured values, TTLs and MX priorities under the existing v1 API response and rate-limit contract.
  • Enables native WordPress DNS lookups without falling back to the WordPress host's own resolver path.
Developer API ->DNS lookup ->
v2.19.621 Sep 2026

Hosted Terminal copy support

Made command output easy to copy from public hosted Terminal embeds as well as the standalone Terminal.

  • Added the existing output Copy action to embedded Terminals.
  • Explicitly preserves normal text selection in Terminal output for mouse and keyboard copying.
  • Keeps Share hidden from embeds while Copy, Help and Clear remain available.
Terminal embeds ->Open Terminal ->
v2.19.521 Sep 2026

Hosted Terminal ready-state hotfix

Fixed the resilience overlay so a successfully connected hosted Terminal is revealed immediately after its ready handshake.

  • Explicitly removes the loading overlay from layout when the iframe reports ipgetter:ready.
  • Restores the loading or unavailable overlay only while a connection attempt is active.
  • Keeps the CDN loader and origin-hosted loader byte-for-byte aligned.
Terminal embeds ->Open Terminal ->
v2.19.421 Sep 2026

Resilient hosted Terminal embeds

Made hosted Terminals fail independently so a slow or unavailable IPGetter service cannot make the host website feel broken.

  • Made public embed loaders asynchronous so they do not delay the host page DOMContentLoaded lifecycle.
  • Moved the public embed loader to cdn.ipgetter.com so the fallback UI can still load independently if the main IPGetter origin is unavailable.
  • Added a real iframe-ready handshake instead of assuming a loaded frame is a working Terminal.
  • Added a contained loading state, unavailable state and Retry action with no impact on the surrounding page.
  • Kept lazy loading by starting hosted frames only when they approach the viewport.
  • Improved Terminal command failures with a clear temporary-service message.
Open Terminal ->Developer API ->
v2.19.321 Sep 2026

Shared Terminal command manifest

Made the live IPGetter Terminal command registry the source of truth for autocomplete and integration clients.

  • Added a cacheable Terminal manifest endpoint for command names, syntax, descriptions, examples and help text.
  • Made the hosted Terminal read autocomplete, help and examples from the same server-side manifest.
  • Prepared WordPress wp-admin Terminal clients to stay in sync without duplicating the command registry.
  • Kept shell-style Tab completion inside the Terminal input after a command completes, while preserving Shift+Tab for keyboard navigation.

v2.18.13Sep 2026

Domain Health

Added a single external report that combines IPGetter network, TLS, email and web diagnostics around one domain.

  • Added a weighted configuration score across core DNS, HTTPS, HTTP, security headers and mail authentication.
  • Added one-pass checks for DNSSEC, CAA, robots.txt, XML sitemaps and RDAP registration data.
  • Linked every finding back to the dedicated IPGetter diagnostic tool for deeper troubleshooting.
  • Reworked the Terminal inspect command to use the same shared Domain Health engine.
  • Added /api/v1/inspect so external apps can use the same Domain Health engine through structured JSON.
  • Refined the Terminal embed builder with clearer responsive width controls and synced slider/number inputs for custom width and height.
  • Set a 320px minimum custom embed width and tightened the narrow Terminal header so Help and Clear remain available when a host container shrinks further.
  • Grouped Browser Terminal and Embed Terminal under one Terminal navigation menu and moved the builder to /terminal/embed, with the old /embed URL redirecting permanently.
  • Refined the mobile Terminal menu into a flatter accordion with indented child links and a clearer active state.
  • Polished the narrow Terminal experience so account actions stay inside the viewport and the mobile submenu uses a simpler, tighter child-link layout.
  • Prioritised Help and Clear in very narrow Terminal embeds by collapsing the decorative title before controls are lost.
  • Improved Terminal scroll handoff so page scrolling continues naturally when a standalone or embedded terminal reaches its own scroll boundary.
  • Centralised the embeddable Terminal runtime so website previews and external integrations load the same hosted frame, styling and behaviour from IPGetter.
  • Fixed live embed preview resizing so the hosted Terminal always fits the selected viewport without clipping or creating a hidden outer scrollbar.
  • Kept the live preview toolbar aligned to the selected Terminal width so its controls stay visually attached to compact embeds.
  • Fixed an embed builder initialization regression that could leave the live Terminal preview blank after the toolbar alignment update.
  • Kept Terminal chrome consistent across embed heights so compact frames reduce only the output area instead of shrinking the header, input row or branding.

Responsive Terminal embeds

Made the embeddable IPGetter Terminal easier to fit into documentation, dashboards, sidebars and full-width pages.

  • Added responsive width presets, custom maximum widths and left, centre or right alignment.
  • Expanded compact and large height options while keeping output safely scrollable inside the frame.
  • Improved the Terminal layout at narrow widths and shorter heights so controls and output remain usable.
  • Updated the live embed builder to preview the selected dimensions before copying the code.
