Invalid URL generation in bitlyshortener

Impact

Due to a sudden upstream breaking change by Bitly, versions of bitlyshortener <0.6.0 generate invalid short URLs. All users are affected and must update immediately.

Patches

Upgrading bitlyshortener to 0.6.0 or newer will prevent the generation such invalid short URLs.

Workarounds

A workaround is to replace "https://j.mp/" in each generated short URL with "https://bit.ly/".
