Clipture 1.5.0: Native Tauri 2 Architecture & Ultra-Low Footprint

[1.5.0] - 2026-09-08

Native Tauri 2 Architecture & Ultra-Low Footprint

• Migration from Electron to Tauri 2: Complete transition of the desktop host to Tauri 2 with native Windows integration, slashing idle resident memory from ~150 MB down to ~4.2 MB.
• Disposable UI Process (ADR 0004): The user interface window runs in an isolated worker process that completely exits when closed, eliminating WebView2 process and handle accumulation while background capture continues uninterrupted.
• Native Background Capture Continuity: High-performance C++ NVENC capture engine, WASAPI audio loopback, global hotkeys, and clip saving run entirely in the resident background controller without requiring any open web interface.
• Native Windows Notification Overlay: Pixel-perfect notification overlay rebuilt with Win32 GDI, layered window opacity, sharp border-flush geometry, and click-through support without web runtime overhead.
• Seamless Electron Crossgrade & Signed Updates: NSIS installer seamlessly upgrades existing Electron installations while preserving 100% of user data, clips, and settings in %APPDATA%\Clipture\data.
