# Latest Windows release

## v0.6.18 — 2026-10-31

## Changes
- Verify the actual editor text after manual conversion using read-only Windows Accessibility, without moving the caret, changing selection or copying again. Record unchanged calculations, original text remaining, unexpected readback and unavailable verification separately.
- Replace the event-only diagnostic list with sortable Time, Program, Command, Source layout, Target layout and Result columns; add program/command/result filters and a separate panel with original, expected and read-back text and operation context.
- Keep successful operations only in a bounded in-memory context (40 events, 30 seconds). Only problem operations create file rows; verified successes do not fill the log. Diagnostics work in normal Release builds and the additional readback check is skipped when logging is disabled.
- Refresh English and Ukrainian Wiki documentation through v0.6.18, including previously undocumented snippet, updater and constrained-pencil changes since v0.6.14.

## Limitations
Some editors do not expose their text through Windows Accessibility. Changed focus, protected or unsupported controls, provider-specific character units, delayed text updates and the 4096-character readback limit can prevent verification; these cases are recorded as unverified rather than successful. Historical unstructured entries remain readable without retroactive filter fields.

## Validation
Passed 230 native regression checks, 472 input/UI checks, screenshot editor UI and notification registration checks, 48 updater checks, updater progress checks, 45 isolated configurator process checks, conversion-specific editor integration and diagnostic viewer checks. Verified that 1000 successful operations create no log file and that a subsequent failure creates one row with bounded context. The broader editor integration suite still intermittently fails in snippet Enter/concurrent-input scenarios; similar failures reproduce with the pre-change code.

**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 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 contains all three executables, a release manifest, offline dictionaries, documentation and license notices. It contains no personal settings, clipboard history, Tesseract installation or language models.

Build and package:

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

Commit the archive, checksum and sources together. Publish both assets on a stable `release-vX.Y.Z` tag matching the executable version. Keep `v0.4.2` as the last legacy tag.
