# Latest Windows release
|
||
|
||
## v0.6.26 — 2026-11-02
|
||
|
||
## Changes
|
||
- Settings → Sync… is available to everyone. Connect your own OpenBao KV v2 with a username and password; synchronization is disabled by default and no server is built in.
|
||
- Synchronize at startup, approximately two seconds after saving settings, and every 10 minutes in the background. Local operation continues offline.
|
||
- Merge independent settings changes and resolve conflicts individually, with local/server values shown side by side. Unresolved values stay pending while independent changes synchronize. Every server write uses CAS to protect concurrent changes.
|
||
- Snippets have stable IDs and retained deletion records. Independent snippets, renames and text edits can merge; deletion versus editing and duplicate shortcuts/triggers receive explicit conflict handling.
|
||
- Personal dictionaries, exclusions, shortcuts and layout preferences synchronize. Startup, history, local paths, connection details and credentials stay on the PC. Passwords use Windows Credential Manager; cached sync state uses DPAPI.
|
||
- Existing profiles migrate to sync envelope version 2. Update every participating PC before using the new synchronization behavior.
|
||
|
||
## Validation
|
||
91 sync/protocol/conflict checks, 423 native regressions, 510 input/UI checks, screenshot editor and PNG save regressions, shared wheel handling, notification registration, 48 updater checks and updater progress checks. Initial upload and personal-dictionary synchronization were confirmed against the user's OpenBao. Two-physical-PC production testing is still pending.
|
||
|
||
## Limitations
|
||
OpenBao synchronization is experimental and requires a reachable HTTPS server with a trusted certificate, KV v2 and a provisioned userpass account/policy. It does not provide account registration, MFA login, non-root namespaces or reverse-proxy URL prefixes. Ordered layout/language lists are resolved as whole settings. Deletion records are retained without expiry. Missing keyboard layouts block applying a profile. Download/Upload replace a whole profile and are intended for initial setup or deliberate recovery; use Resolve individual conflicts for normal conflicts. Existing browser-selection and clipboard/accessibility limitations 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.
|
||
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, passwords, server address, 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.
