localhost url validation

I noticed that localhost is not valid according to URL validator.

examples url: http://localhost/ http://localhost/deeplink

this is the regex used for validation right now: /https?:\/\/(www\.)?[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\+~#=]{1,256}\.[a-z]{2,63}\b([-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]*)/i

the following change would fix it: /https?:\/\/(((www\.)?[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\+~#=]{1,256}\.[a-z]{2,63})|(localhost))\b([-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]*)/i I’d appreciate your feedback about it.

in addition, I’d like to know when is expected next release?

@syabro Hey there, my apologies. I thought this had already been fixed, but alas I missed it. I am working on a new build (version 3.23) which I will include this issue.
