**1.2.0 (released 2020-01-03):**
- Renamed the underlying facade class from ``` BuilderFacade ``` to ``` ShortURLBuilder ``` for consistency.

    Note: This isn't
    changing the name of the facade. It's just changing the underlying class name for if you want to use ``` use AshAllenDesign\ShortURL\Facades\ShortURLBuilder; ```
    rather than ``` use ShortURLBuilder; ```.

- Added methods to the facade docblock. This will display the methods in the IDE's autocomplete.

**1.1.0 (released 2020-01-03):**
- Enforced a minimum length of 3 for the URL ``` key_length ``` that is specified in the config.
- Included [hashids/hasids](https://github.com/vinkla/hashids) as a dependency. This is now used for generating the random, unique URL keys.
- Updated documentation.
