v0.5.1

v0.5.1: fully hands-free

Two features born from user feedback, one release.

Keyboard flow: Ctrl+Shift+V now always opens the popup, right at your text caret, alongside whatever mouse trigger you use. Arrows move the selection (each section scrolls at its edge before the selection crosses over), Tab jumps between history and pins, Enter pastes into the field you came from, Esc or a second press dismisses. Tab through a form, pop the list, arrow, Enter, keep typing: no mouse at any point. New tray toggle (Open with Ctrl+Shift+V, on by default) if the combo clashes with another app.

Pin labels: pinning a clip pre-fills the label from the clip's first line (capped at 40 chars), shown preselected. Enter keeps it, typing replaces it, so naming a pin after its clip costs zero keystrokes while replacing a sensitive suggestion costs one. Renames get the same select-all treatment. The rule stays simple: the value is protected, the label is public.

Also in this release: the trigger menu slims to the three mouse buttons plus custom (Ctrl+Shift+V no longer needs a preset slot; old configs migrate to middle-click automatically).

Why did the mouse finally take a day off? The keyboard said it could handle the shift.

v0.4.6

v0.4.6: rock-steady scrolling

The popup now composes every frame in an off-screen bitmap and blits it to the window in one step, so scrolling the pins or history never catches a half-drawn frame. This finishes the flicker work started in v0.4.1: that release stopped the redundant repaints at the list ends, this one removes the flash from the repaints that remain. Hover and mouse-leave repaints get the same treatment for free.

No new dependencies, still raw Win32.

Why doesn't the popup get caught half-drawn anymore? It finally got a dressing room.

v0.4.5

v0.4.5

Fixes a data-reversion bug in the 0.4.4 upgrade migration. If you upgraded to 0.4.4, install this.

• 0.4.4's migration could prefer stale leftover files over your live data, silently reverting pins, history, and settings to an old state. The migration now takes the newest file, verifies the lift, and removes the legacy per-machine folder afterward so stale copies can never shadow live data again.
• Adds a regression test covering the migration in both directions.

v0.4.4

Warning

This release has an upgrade bug that can silently revert pins, history, and settings to a stale state. Use v0.4.5 instead.

v0.4.4

Slimming release: less code, same behavior.

• Removed the custom tooltip hint window (the pin reorder arrows explain themselves), the redundant vectored exception crash handler, and the per-machine data subfolder. Net -193 lines and one fewer windows-sys feature.
• Data now lives directly in %LOCALAPPDATA%\ClipStack. Existing pins, history, and settings migrate automatically on first launch.
• Text cleanup across comments, SECURITY.md, and the tray tooltip.
• Cargo.toml now carries license, repository, and author metadata.

v0.4.2

ClipStack v0.4.2

• Slimmer popup: narrower and denser, with more history visible before it scrolls.

• No more hover flash: hovering an item no longer flashes the rest of the list.

• Reliable first-copy capture: clips land on the first copy instead of sometimes needing a second one.

v0.4.1

ClipStack v0.4.1

• No more scroll flicker at the list ends. Scrolling past the top or bottom no longer redraws the same frame on every wheel tick, so the list sits still instead of flickering.

v0.4.0

ClipStack v0.4.0

• Six color themes in the tray: Dark (default), Grey, Light, Nord, Solarized, High Contrast. Picks persist, repaint live, and the About panel themes along with everything else.

• Rename a pin: right-click a pin to edit its label inline (Enter saves, Esc cancels).

• Two-step delete: a pin's red X now takes two clicks. The first arms a solid-red confirm button; the second deletes. History clips still delete in one click.

• Right-click on a pin no longer instantly unpins it (it renames now), so no pin action is one-click-destructive.

v0.3.2

ClipStack v0.3.2

• Cross-machine data bleed fixed. Pins, history, and settings now live in a per-machine folder (%LOCALAPPDATA%\ClipStack\<computer name>\), so two machines that share a profile or a mapped AppData (for example a VM mapped to its host) no longer overwrite each other's clips. Existing data migrates over automatically on first launch.

v0.3.1

ClipStack v0.3.1

Brand refresh

• New green accent (#40CC7A) in place of the old orange, matching the new logo.
• New rounded-square app icon across the tray, the About panel, and the desktop shortcut.
• Refreshed banner.

Cosmetic only, built on the v0.3.0 crash fixes.
