v0.6.24 — 2026-11-01
Changes
- Smooth pencil strokes and recognize rectangles, circles, ellipses, triangles and trapezoids, including tilted contours. Ctrl+Z restores the original stroke; Ctrl+Y reapplies the improvement.
- Recognized outlines become editable shapes. Add Triangle (G) and Trapezoid (B) toolbar tools; triangles have three independently draggable vertices.
- Rotate all shapes with their round handle, with Shift snapping to 15-degree steps. Resizing, cloning, connector attachments and PNG export follow shape rotation.
- Zoom with Ctrl++ / Ctrl+- or Ctrl+mouse wheel, reset with Ctrl+0 and pan with middle-button dragging. Zooming does not change image resolution or undo history.
Validation
423 native regressions, 473 input/UI checks, shared wheel handling, screenshot editor and shape/zoom regressions, PNG save regressions, notification registration, 48 updater checks and updater progress checks passed.
Limitations
Shape recognition is heuristic: ambiguous outlines may remain smoothed strokes or require Ctrl+Z to restore the original. Small, linked and Shift-constrained pencil strokes are not automatically improved. Triangle vertices are edited independently; trapezoids use bounding-box resize handles. Canvas zoom is limited to 0.1×–16× the initial fit. PNG exports are flattened images, not editable projects.
Existing browser-selection verification and clipboard/accessibility limitations remain unchanged. The bundled Ukrainian dictionary includes поточні; updates preserve existing dictionaries. If missing, add it under Settings → Auto-correction options → My dictionary → Ukrainian, then OK → Save.
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 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.
