Sorry for the delay but my work schedule has been somewhat hectic. There are two outstanding issues with the links module at this time. They are:

1. Checking to see if the username exists when selecting a user as a link
2. Re-working of the Export / Import function. This function currently does not export enough info to properly import a link. The information it is missing is related to updating a link via the URLController. So if you have "new window" checked, it will import that setting properly, but will not work because the URL is not in the URLTracking and URL table.

In addition to these issues, I would also like to add the following:

1. A custom hydrator so we can remove the use of the CBO.FillCollection and help improve performance.
2. Only display links that user has permission to access. This is important as they may be able to see the link now, but do not have access rights to the resource.

So far, all listed above is pretty straight forward except for the Import / Export functionality. This requires interaction with the core team on a few issues and might need to be placed on the list for the next release as opposed to this one. At this time, no more bugs are being excepted for this build. The next release will take care of any left over bug fixes as well as add some new functionality.
