# Latest Windows release
## v0.6.24 — 2026-11-01
## v0.6.25 — 2026-11-01
## Changes
- Smooth pencil strokes and recognize rectangles, circles, ellipses, triangles and trapezoids, including tilted contours. Ctrl+Z restores the original stroke; Ctrl+Y reapplies the improvement.
- Recognized outlines become editable shapes. Add Triangle (G) and Trapezoid (B) toolbar tools; triangles have three independently draggable vertices.
- Rotate all shapes with their round handle, with Shift snapping to 15-degree steps. Resizing, cloning, connector attachments and PNG export follow shape rotation.
- Zoom with Ctrl++ / Ctrl+- or Ctrl+mouse wheel, reset with Ctrl+0 and pan with middle-button dragging. Zooming does not change image resolution or undo history.
- Pencil (F) automatically recognizes nearly straight strokes on mouse release and turns them into editable straight lines at the drawn angle.
- Preserve endpoints, color, thickness, line style and arrowheads. Ctrl+Z restores the exact original stroke; a second undo removes it, and Ctrl+Y reapplies recognition.
- Reject short gestures, noticeable curves, spikes and substantial backtracking. Existing shape recognition, smoothing, linked strokes and Shift constraints retain their behavior.
## Validation
423 native regressions, 473 input/UI checks, shared wheel handling, screenshot editor and shape/zoom regressions, PNG save regressions, notification registration, 48 updater checks and updater progress checks passed.
423 native regressions, 473 input/UI checks, line/shape recognition and screenshot editor regressions, PNG save regressions, shared wheel handling, notification registration, 48 updater checks and updater progress checks. The user also confirmed the feature in the development editor.
## Limitations
Shape recognition is heuristic: ambiguous outlines may remain smoothed strokes or require Ctrl+Z to restore the original. Small, linked and Shift-constrained pencil strokes are not automatically improved. Triangle vertices are edited independently; trapezoids use bounding-box resize handles. Canvas zoom is limited to 0.1×–16× the initial fit. PNG exports are flattened images, not editable projects.
Existing browser-selection verification and clipboard/accessibility limitations remain unchanged. The bundled Ukrainian dictionary includes `поточні`; updates preserve existing dictionaries. If missing, add it under Settings → Auto-correction options → My dictionary → Ukrainian, then OK → Save.
Recognition is heuristic and conservative. Endpoints must be at least 24 source-image pixels apart; uncertain strokes may remain freehand. Use Straight line (L) when an exact line is needed. Linked strokes and strokes drawn partly with Shift are not automatically straightened. Existing browser-selection and clipboard/accessibility limitations remain unchanged.
**Upgrade:** choose Update in the tray menu. Legacy v0.3.0–v0.4.1 clients first receive the v0.4.2 compatibility bridge, then the current full release. v0.2.3 and earlier require manual installation.
For manual installation, exit KSwitcher, close screenshot editors and extract the entire ZIP into its installation folder. Keep personal `data/` and customized dictionaries.
