KSwitcher v0.6.20 Stable
agrynco released this
2026-10-31 09:13:09 +02:00 | 13 commits to main since this releaseLatest Windows release
v0.6.20 — 2026-10-31
Changes
- Open clipboard-history images in the built-in screenshot editor with Edit image, Ctrl+O, or Edit image in screenshot editor in the context menu. PNG, DIB and DIBV5 open at full resolution through an encrypted local cache, without requiring notifications or changing the clipboard/original history entry. Copy the annotated result explicitly from the editor.
- Right-clicking a history entry selects that entry before showing its actions. Enter and double-click continue to paste; text items still open in the full-text viewer.
Validation
Passed 406 native regressions, 473 input/UI checks, screenshot editor UI, notification registration, 48 updater checks and updater progress checks. Manual testing confirmed image editing from history.
Limitations
Image decoding or a normalized image larger than the 128 MiB editor-transfer limit can prevent opening; an error is shown. Existing clipboard, OCR and editor privilege 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 personaldata/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.

KSwitcher v0.6.19 Stable
2026-10-31 02:03:26 +02:00 | 14 commits to main since this releaseLatest Windows release
v0.6.19 — 2026-10-31
Changes
- Retry a silently dropped Ctrl+C up to three total attempts, only while the transaction clipboard remains unchanged and the original input context is still valid. Failed snippet verification preserves the trigger and following input without sending Enter.
- Exclude temporary transaction clipboard contents from Windows clipboard history and cloud synchronization. The original clipboard snapshot is still restored after the operation when ownership permits.
- Fix snippet integration test isolation: restore a multiline editor after earlier single-line scenarios, reset layout/correction state, coordinate test-editor clipboard access and disable unrelated background update checks.
- Add deterministic coverage for one dropped copy and exhausted retries. Keep exact assertions for Enter ordering, buffered typing, clipboard restoration and subsequent auto-correction.
Validation
The fixes passed 230 native regression checks, 472 input/UI checks, screenshot editor UI and notification registration checks, 48 updater checks and updater progress checks. The full editor integration suite passed all 63 assertions; conversion-specific diagnostics also passed. The final snippet suite passed 20 consecutive runs, including injected copy failures and the three-attempt limit. The v0.6.19 staged Release build also passed the native, input/UI, screenshot and updater checks; the installed application was not replaced or restarted.
Limitations
The fix does not retry paste blindly: an editor may already have changed its selection or text. Clipboard contention, editor capabilities and input privileges can still prevent an operation. Existing accessibility readback limitations and problem-only diagnostic logging 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.

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.

v0.6.17 — 2026-10-30
Changes
- Hold Shift with the screenshot pencil to draw horizontal, vertical or 45-degree diagonal segments. Release Shift to continue freehand within the same stroke.
- Move more than 50 image pixels away from the active line to change direction while preserving earlier segments. Smooth diagonal gestures use the actual mouse trajectory instead of producing stair steps.
- Keep diagonal strokes inside image boundaries without changing their angle. Ctrl retains its existing draw-over-objects behavior; undo/redo treats the complete stroke as one object.
- Disable snippet fields, Delete and marker insertion until a snippet is selected or added. Deleting the selected snippet clears and disables the editor.
Validation
Passed 223 native regression checks, 472 input/UI checks, screenshot editor UI and notification registration checks, 48 updater checks, updater progress checks, and 45 isolated configurator process checks. Screenshot UI coverage includes smooth diagonal gestures in all four directions, direction changes, image boundaries, Shift transitions, Ctrl behavior and undo/redo. Configurator checks cover disabled snippet editing, Add, Delete, reselection and preservation of snippet content.

KSwitcher 0.6.16 Stable
2026-10-30 13:24:26 +02:00 | 17 commits to main since this releaseLatest Windows release
v0.6.16 — 2026-10-30
Changes
- Fix repeated offers to install the same release: the runtime updater version now matches the packaged executable version.
- Add regression checks comparing updater, executable and CMake versions, and rejecting the already-installed modern release.
- Preserve typing that arrives while a snippet is being expanded.
- Add
{enter}to press Enter after insertion and cursor placement, with an Insert Enter marker button. Use{{enter}}for literal text. - Suppress automatic correction during snippet expansion and buffered typing, without changing the global setting. Normal typing resumes automatic correction afterward.
- Restore the caret when snippet verification fails and record snippet failures in diagnostic logs.
Includes the earlier automatic-correction and log-viewer improvements. Existing modern releases update directly to this version without installing intermediate releases.
Validation
223 native regression checks, 472 input/UI checks, screenshot editor and notification registration checks, 48 updater checks and updater progress checks. Targeted native integration checks cover continuous snippet typing, clipboard restoration, actual Enter key events, punctuation preservation, suppression of automatic correction and its resumption afterward. The updated development build was also confirmed by the user in Notepad. The broader integration suite showed intermittent failures during earlier interactive runs; it is not claimed as fully passing.

v0.6.14 — 2026-10-30
Changes
- Restore resizing for the automatic-correction settings dialog with an adaptive layout.
- Open the dialog with larger personal-dictionary fields. The three dictionaries share additional width evenly and receive additional height as the window grows.
- Expand exclusion lists and punctuation fields horizontally, and move lower settings and action buttons with the window while preserving spacing.

v0.6.13 — 2026-10-30
Changes
- Correct words containing punctuation keys that become letters in the target layout, such as
hj,bnm→робить. Validate letters and capitalization after conversion so personal dictionary entries can match. - Extend automatic word selection across internal punctuation only while the selected text matches a suffix of the tracked input. Verify the complete tracked word before replacing it.
- Give the fixed-layout automatic-correction settings dialog a fixed window size, retaining scrolling on small displays instead of allowing empty space when resized.
Validation
220 native regression checks, 466 input/UI checks, screenshot editor and notification registration checks, 45 updater checks and updater progress checks passed. Native editor integration verified continuous typing during correction and complete selection/conversion of
hj,bnmtoробить. The correction was also confirmed in the user's editor.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.

v0.6.12 — 2026-10-30
Changes
- Start automatic layout correction immediately after Space and preserve subsequent typing while the correction runs.
- Accept identical corrected words shared by multiple selected languages; use the selected language order to choose the target layout. Different valid spellings remain ambiguous.
- Run the log viewer in the configurator process, separate from the resident input hooks. Clearing logs remains coordinated with the resident process.
- Keep the native four-column ListView. Resize the table with its window, anchor the footer and Close button, and make Details fill the remaining width.
- Exclude copied diagnostic rows from clipboard history.
Validation
Native and input regression suites, screenshot UI and updater checks, log-viewer integration, continuous-typing integration, and isolated configurator/log process checks. Manual development-build checks covered window dragging and automatic Details column width.
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.

v0.6.11 — 2026-10-29
Changes
- Show an update progress window for manual checks and installation. Downloads display percentage and received/total size; verification, unpacking, installation and restart have distinct status messages.
- Keep the progress window running independently while KSwitcher exits and restarts. After the new application confirms startup, show the installed version and a Done button in the same window, without a separate completion notification.
- Show recovery and installation errors in the same window after the application exits. Background update checks remain quiet.
The progress UI is provided by the currently installed updater. Updating from v0.6.10 to this release still uses the older interface; subsequent updates use the new window.
Validation
214 native regression checks, 466 input/UI checks, screenshot editor UI checks, isolated notification registration, 45 updater regression checks, and progress-window checks for download, installation, recovery and completion states. Network tests verify real download progress and release download/checksum validation. Startup acknowledgement tests prevent reporting success for ordinary startup or a missing updater handshake.
