 # Latest Windows release

-## v0.4.1 — 2026-10-28
+## v0.6.5 — 2026-10-29

- Fix Settings spacing around Screen capture, automatic layout correction and layout controls.
- Verify update checksums through .NET SHA-256 without requiring the PowerShell Get-FileHash command. This fixes updates from processes launched with a conflicting PowerShell module environment.
- Capture a rectangular screen region with Win+Shift+S (configurable), with dimmed selection and independent editor windows.
- Annotate screenshots with numbered markers, arrows, straight/freehand lines, highlights, rectangles, circles, ellipses and inline text.
- Edit color, line style, arrowheads, thickness, font and size. Link arrow endpoints to markers and attach captions.
- Captions follow line angle and keep their relative offset until manually rotated. Text rotation supports Shift snapping in 15-degree steps.
- Move objects one pixel with arrow keys; clone with Ctrl+D; undo/redo edits. Numbered markers reuse gaps.
- Compact Lucide toolbar, contextual status bar, pencil cursor and confirmation before discarding an uncopied screenshot. Escape no longer closes the editor.
- Preserve the separate on-demand configurator and configurable capture shortcut.
+## Changes
+- Preserve endpoint links when selecting a connector or adding/editing its caption through double-click, F2 or the caption button. A click without movement no longer detaches the connector.
+- Attach arrow and line endpoints to rectangles, circles, ellipses, text blocks, other arrows/lines, and freehand/highlight strokes, in addition to numbered markers.
+- Keep attachments aligned as targets move or resize; text attachments also follow rotation. Arrow-to-arrow chains resolve in dependency order.
+- Preserve links through Undo/Redo. Deleted targets leave endpoints at their last position; clones start without links. Self-links and circular dependencies are rejected.

-Verified: 173 native checks, 379 input/rendering checks, screenshot editor UI integration checks,
-29 updater checks, including missing Get-FileHash coverage, and package validation.
+## Usage
+Drop a connector endpoint onto the target. Use **Ctrl+drag** to start a new connector over an existing object. Moving a whole connector detaches both of its endpoints; dragging one endpoint detaches only that end.

-**Upgrade from v0.3.0 or v0.4.0:** use Update in the tray menu. Both executables are supported.
-If an older updater reports missing `Get-FileHash`, restart KSwitcher normally from Explorer
-(outside a PowerShell 7 session) or install this ZIP manually once. v0.4.1 removes that dependency.
-**Upgrade from v0.2.3 or earlier:** install manually once because those updaters reject the additional configurator EXE.
-Exit KSwitcher and extract the entire ZIP into its installation folder. Keep personal `data/` and customized dictionaries.
+## Validation
+176 native checks, 440 input/layout checks at 240 DPI, screenshot editor UI integration, isolated notification registration, and 45 updater checks. Coverage includes caption editing, shape-arrow-arrow chains, movement, resize, text rotation, deletion, cloning, cycle rejection, and Undo/Redo.

-Download **KSwitcher-win-x64.zip** with **SHA256SUMS.txt**. The package contains both executables,
-offline dictionaries, documentation and license notices; no personal settings or clipboard history.
+**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.
