Added

• Paste without the clipboard. Choosing it from an entry's context menu sends
  the text to the frontmost app as synthetic keystrokes, so the content never
  enters a pasteboard and no other process can read it. Requires the Accessibility
  permission, is slower than a pasteboard round trip, and works for text only —
  so it is off by default and offered as a choice.
• Sensitive-content masking. Card numbers, API keys, tokens, JWTs, private
  keys, credentialed connection strings, email addresses and ID numbers are
  redacted when an entry is recorded, not only when it is drawn. Explicit
  signals — a concealed or transient pasteboard entry, a private key — mark
  content as never-recorded instead.
• Entries other apps marked concealed are skipped. Password managers set this
  marker precisely so their contents are not retained; honouring it relies on a
  stated intent rather than a text heuristic.
• In-app updates. Checks a published feed, then on install verifies the
  SHA-256, verifies the code signature, and only then clears the quarantine
  attribute — which is what prevents the "MacCV is damaged and can't be opened"
  dialog. An update whose signature does not validate is reported as such and left
  quarantined. MacCV does not replace its own running bundle.
• Settings window with General, Privacy, Updates and About tabs.
• Bilingual interface. English and Simplified Chinese, following the system
  language by default and switchable in Settings.
• Website at https://yxxbc.github.io/Maccv/, bilingual, which also serves the
  update feed.

Changed

• The project's public address is now the website rather than the repository; the
  homepage link and documentation links point there.

First release. MacCV is a menu-bar clipboard manager that treats the macOS
pasteboard as it actually is: multi-item, multi-format, and worth preserving
exactly.

Added

• Full-type pasteboard support. Reads and writes every type macOS defines,
  including RTF, RTFD, HTML, PNG, TIFF, PDF, file URLs, colors, sounds, fonts and
  rulers, plus arbitrary custom UTIs. A single copy carrying several
  representations keeps all of them, so it can paste into whichever target app
  asks for something specific.
• Lossless replay. A captured snapshot is rewritten byte-for-byte, so pasting
  into the originating app reproduces the original formatting rather than an
  approximation of it.
• Multi-item fidelity. A three-file Finder copy stays three items instead of
  collapsing into one entry.
• Change watching with adaptive polling. Detection begins at a 400 µs interval
  so a copy is noticed almost immediately, then backs off to 250 ms while the
  pasteboard is idle. An idle MacCV costs no measurable CPU.
• Menu-bar panel with live previews, search, restore, paste-as-plain-text and
  per-entry removal, built with SwiftUI for macOS 27.
• Rust engine linked as a static library. No IPC, no serialization step, no
  helper process.
• macOS 27 pasteboard authorization handled explicitly. When the system denies
  access, the engine reports it and the panel explains it, instead of retrying.
• C ABI with a generated header. maccv.h is produced by cbindgen at build
  time and drives the Swift bridging header.
• --self-test mode that exercises the Swift → C ABI → Rust path end to end
  and exits non-zero on failure, so CI can verify the integration and not just the
  compile.

Notes

• Requires macOS 27 or later.
• Clipboard history is in-memory only; it does not survive relaunch yet.
• The app is not sandboxed. Nothing leaves the machine.
