2.1.3.2297

Highlights 🌟

• 📤 Faster file sharing across devices
  Sharing files between your devices is now snappier and more reliable.
  The device you copied from delivers files directly to your other
  devices, instead of making them ask for the data first. This also
  paves the way for the upcoming iOS Share Extension, letting you share
  files straight from any app on your iPhone or iPad to your desktop
  (#4456 #4457 #4467 #4468).

• 🛡️ Windows: heads-up when your network blocks CrossPaste
  On Windows, if your network is set to "Public", the Windows Firewall
  silently blocks CrossPaste from finding nearby devices. CrossPaste
  now detects this and offers a one-click shortcut to the Windows
  setting where you can switch the network to Private (#4402 #4404).

• 🖱️ Smoother drag-and-drop from CrossPaste
  Dragging items from the CrossPaste side panel into other apps is
  now much better. On macOS, the drag preview no longer hides behind
  the paste window — you can finally see what you're dragging. The
  side panel also handles edge cases more gracefully, so drags don't
  get blocked while previews are still loading, and dragging stays
  smooth even with lots of items on screen. Bonus: you can now drag
  to reorder your search tags too (#4361 #4357 #4377 #4388).

• 🖼️ Animated GIFs and real video thumbnails in the side preview
  GIFs in your clipboard history now actually animate (smoothly, even
  for large ones), and video files show a real thumbnail of the first
  frame in the side panel instead of a generic icon. We also fixed a
  rare crash that could happen while previews were loading (#4353 #4410
  #4422 #4438).
