# Latest Windows release

## v0.6.30 — 2026-11-02

## Changes
- A manual paste confirmed unsuccessful by readback no longer records the expected replacement as a previous result or switches the Windows layout. This prevents repeated commands from searching for text that was never inserted.
- A previous-result verification mismatch clears stale repeat-conversion state.
- A writable native Windows EDIT field may receive one guarded paste retry: readback must equal the original text, and fresh native checks must confirm the exact original selection, unchanged focus and input context. Other controls, protected/read-only fields and unknown/changed selections are not retried.
- The guarded retry and failed-paste readback handling require **Write log**, which enables manual-conversion readback. Clipboard restoration remains conditional on ownership.

## Validation
The final isolated conversion integration run passed: permanently blocked paste, unexpected editor content, clearing fictional previous results, ignored-first-paste recovery, clipboard restoration, repeat conversion and partial-selection recovery. Typo integration also passed, including Undo and uninterrupted typing. 541 input/UI checks (240 DPI), 105 sync/protocol checks, 483 native regressions and 48 updater checks passed. All release executable versions and manifest hashes were verified. Earlier interactive attempts were interrupted by concurrent input or a transient clipboard-restoration assertion; the final isolated rerun passed.

## Limitations
The cause of every ignored paste is not established. This release does not claim to solve all asynchronous selection failures in ChatGPT/browser editors. Keep Write log enabled and send complete operation details if the issue recurs. Native retry is bounded to one attempt; it is not a general retry policy for other applications. All existing dictionary-correction and synchronization limitations remain.

**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.

Download **KSwitcher-win-x64.zip** with **SHA256SUMS.txt**. The package includes all three executables, a release manifest, offline dictionaries, documentation and license notices. No personal settings, passwords, server address or clipboard history are included.

Build and package:

```powershell
.\build.ps1 -Stage -Test
.\package.ps1 -PublishRelease
```

Publish stable `release-vX.Y.Z` tags matching the executable version. Keep `v0.4.2` as the last legacy tag.
