 Moving OCR isolates its temporary memory rather than reducing the combined processing peak. A controlled three-run comparison retained about 0.8 MiB less private RAM in the caller after recognition; combined peak RAM was about 55.6 MiB before and 56.6 MiB with the helper. Results depend on the image, OCR engine and system.

Unpinning an item removes it from the pinned view immediately. The filter and search are remembered after closing and reopening history. **Clear history…** still deletes the entire history after confirmation, including entries hidden by the filter.

 # Latest Windows release
 
-## v0.6.41 — 2026-11-04
+## v0.6.42 — 2026-11-04
 
 ## Changes
-- Added Filter → All items / ★ Pinned only beside the history search box.
-- Search is restricted to the selected filter; Unpin immediately removes an entry from the pinned view.
-- The filter and search are remembered across Esc and helper restarts. Older saved view state defaults to All items.
-- Filtering occurs before content search and preview loading. History still exits its helper when closed; shortcuts and Clear history semantics are unchanged.
+- Replaced the history filter dropdown with a one-click **★ Pinned only** checkbox. Checked shows pinned entries; unchecked shows all entries.
+- The checkbox sits on the left, with the search field immediately alongside it. The search field keeps its right edge aligned with the history list when the window is resized.
+- Existing filter state, search, Unpin behavior and persistence across Esc are preserved. No shortcut or default changed. Clear history still deletes every entry after confirmation, including hidden entries.
 
 ## Validation
-A dedicated 500-entry integration suite verifies filtering, search intersection, unpinning the last match, returning to all items, persistence across helper restart, text/image paste, clipboard restoration and history helper shutdown. The installed development build was also checked visually. The v0.6.41 release candidate passed dictionary equivalence, 105 synchronization checks and 315 native checks. Its interactive input rerun could not obtain foreground/clipboard access in the current Windows session. The filter integration and visual checks passed before the version-only rebuild; they were not repeated successfully in the inaccessible session.
+The dedicated 500-entry history integration suite verifies checkbox clicks, combined search/filter, removal after Unpin, remembered state after helper restart, text/image paste and helper shutdown. The compact layout was checked visually in the installed development build.

+The release build also passed dictionary equivalence (140,939 words), 105 sync checks, 315 native checks, 561 input checks, screenshot UI/save/registration, 48 updater checks and updater progress UI.
 
 ## 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.
