🎉 PastScreen 1.6.1 – Developer ID notarized build

✨ What's New

• Notarized & signed – PastScreen est désormais signé avec un certificat Apple Developer ID et notarisé, ce qui évite les alertes Gatekeeper lors de l’installation.
• Sparkle feed – appcast.xml inclut l’entrée 1.6.1 (signature + taille) pour que la mise à jour se fasse automatiquement.
• Package.resolved – les dépendances SPM (Sparkle 2.8.0) sont verrouillées pour simplifier l’archive via App Store Connect.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Stabilisation du clipboard “context-aware” (image + chemin pour les navigateurs, chemin seul pour les IDE).
• Fiabilisation du multi-écran (conversion ScreenCaptureKit relative).

📦 Download

🎉 PastScreen 1.6 – Multi-screen & clipboard polish

`## 🎉 PastScreen 1.6 – Multi-screen & clipboard polish

✨ What's New

• Multi-monitor capture fixes – ScreenCaptureKit now receives coordinates relative to the correct display, eliminating shifted/pixelated captures and “invalid parameter” errors.
• Reliable overlay – The Liquid Glass overlay converts selections into global coordinates correctly and cleans up even when cancellations happen quickly.
• Smarter clipboard – Browsers/design tools get the image plus a fallback file path, while editors like Zed/VSCode continue to receive the path-only experience when appropriate.
• Outlook support – Outlook is now treated as a browser, so captures triggered from it paste the full image by default.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where a second instance could launch when running from Xcode.
• Removed inconsistent DPI metadata that made captures look zoomed in Quick Look.
• Cleaned up the release pipeline and included the Sparkle packaging script.

📦 Download

• Dock-less reliability: even in accessory mode, the Dock is briefly shown so notifications always appear.

🛠 Improvements
