v4.2.8

EShot v4.2.8

Capture and annotation

• Fixed a native Wayland multi-monitor regression that could squeeze the whole desktop into the active screen
• Native Wayland now keeps its overlay and capture on the screen under the cursor, while KDE/GNOME AppImage sessions keep their virtual-desktop path
• Improved selection rendering and repaint regions to prevent stale cursor, selection and capture-hint traces
• Improved text and shape hit testing, rotation geometry, selection handles, and freehand drawing efficiency
• Made annotation move, rotation and text resize gestures create reliable individual undo steps
• Improved pinned-window resizing and multi-monitor window targeting

Recording

• Improved GIF timing and local palettes for smoother playback and smaller files
• Fixed an immediately stopped GIF being reported as failed despite having a valid fallback frame
• Fixed AAC encoder discovery on systems where gst-inspect-1.0 returns plugin catalog rows
• Improved microphone discovery, recording process cleanup, pause/resume handling, and audio/video completion fallback behavior
• Made long scrolling captures substantially less expensive to stitch at the end

Linux and desktop integration

• Improved KDE permission setup, portal screenshot pipe handling, portal screen-cast re-entry protection, global shortcut registration, and GNOME shortcut cleanup
• Improved notification click handling and bounded notification path tracking
• Improved first-run dependency setup and AppImage/Linux package checks

Updates, security and packaging

• Added automated CTest execution to the Linux build workflow and expanded package contract tests
• Fixed Windows updater compatibility with release assets that do not expose GitHub's optional SHA-256 digest
• Improved upload temporary-file creation, filename sanitization, response validation, and secure credential migration
• Updated Windows executable and manifest version metadata
