Pasted 1.0.0 RC8
Pre-releasePasted 1.0.0 RC8 makes the signed update experience clearer, calmer, and easier to verify before installation.
Highlights
- Moved release notes behind a concise
View changes…control and now render them as GitHub-flavored Markdown in a focused dialog. - Reworked the installation confirmation with a positive shield treatment and a short checklist covering library preservation, signature verification, mismatch rejection, and restart behavior.
- Added the initiating ellipsis to
Install and restart…while keeping the final confirmation action immediate and unambiguous. - Localized the complete update experience across Arabic, English, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish.
- Added a repeatable browser preview for accepting updater UI changes before a release is cut.

Privacy and verification
Pasted stores its library locally and includes no analytics or telemetry. Intelligence-assisted Transforms contact a provider only when explicitly run through an enabled connection; Apple Intelligence runs through the on-device system model when available.
The macOS draft artifact was downloaded back from GitHub and verified for disk-image integrity, universal Apple Silicon and Intel architectures, nested CLI and app signatures, Developer ID acceptance, Gatekeeper acceptance, and its stapled notarization ticket. The downloaded installer and updater-bundle checksums match SHA256SUMS-macos.txt; use the corresponding manifests to verify downloads on other platforms.
