Upgrading

This package was previously adair-creative/better-link and is no longer supported.

This new package is not compatible with the old one, so you will need to update your code, and rebuild the links.

Versions are denoted by the SilverStripe version they are compatible with. (i.e. 4.12.x is compatible with SilverStripe 4.12)

Also The new BetterLink model is versioned, so make sure the parent has an $owns relationship to the BetterLink object.
