Changelog - January 2026

We have rolled out an update to the Prism.Tools suite, focusing on expanding our networking utilities and improving user interface flexibility. Please refresh the tools!

New Features & Enhancements

    Network Calculator Overhaul

        IPv6 Support: Full subnetting calculation for 128-bit addresses.

        IPv4 to IPv6 Conversion: Added transition tools including IPv4-Mapped, IPv4-Compatible, and Hexadecimal outputs.

        Reverse DNS Generator: Automatic generation of in-addr.arpa and ip6.arpa PTR records.

    HTTP Status Code Reference

        Expanded to a complete HTTP 1xx–5xx reference (excluding unassigned codes).

        Added practical API guidance for each status.

        Introduced a "Popular Only" filter for quicker reference of common codes.

 UI/UX Improvements

    Fixed Textarea Scaling: Resolved an issue where textareas were not resizable; manual resizing is now enabled across all tools for better workspace management.

    Performance: Minor optimizations and logic fixes across the toolset.

 Affected Tools

 The following tools have received updates in this version:

    regex-tester / markdown-preview / yaml-json-converter

    minifier / sql-formatter / qr-generator

    subnet-calculator / http-status-codes

    ascii-art-generator / glassmorphism-generator / color-converter
We are continuing to address all other reported issues and feature requests. Thank you for using Prism.Tools!


Nice collection, I'll be checking it out soon, Thanks for sharing!


I'd love feedback!


The key word here is 'public'... "No Re-hosting: You may not host these Tools on other websites or public repositories” You can host on a local network, modify to suit your needs, point to local libs if CDNs are a concern. Just don't make them Public. The latest versions will be available on Github if they are ever needed.


You need remember one thing: Prism.Tools, search it on the Goog ;)


Already noted, will check into and make corrections... Check back, but it may be the weekend before time permits.


Thanks for saving and sharing! If you use one tool I’ve reached my goal!


Yes, there are definitely things that can’t be done in the fashion of Prism.Tools but there are soooo many that can!


Guess I missed that one! (Maybe more?)


I believe the MIT license leaves it open for others to host the files for public access. I’d like them to be hosted in one place but others are free to host for their own or business use and/or use them locally. It’s just a way for me to protect my rights as the owner/creator


You could use the AGPL, anyone who hosted it would then need to share the source code of any modifications they've made.


All are invited to modify the code to suit their needs, but not provide it to the public. If they want to serve it on a local network that is fine. These tools were made to be freely available to all and to modify for their own personal/business needs. If the need arises the latest version will be on Github.


Ahhh OK - that makes sense - thank you.
