# Latest Windows release
|
||
|
||
## v0.6.28 — 2026-11-02
|
||
|
||
## Changes
|
||
- Custom automatic replacement pairs and optional dictionary typo correction. Both are off by default; enable Automatic correction and the desired modes in Auto-correction options. Custom pairs take priority; dictionary correction accepts one unambiguous single edit in words of at least four letters. Case, punctuation, exclusions and Undo are preserved.
|
||
- First synchronization now merges independent entries immediately. Different values for one setting remain pending as individual conflicts instead of requiring Download/Upload of a whole profile.
|
||
- Optional partial sync keeps this PC's layout cycle and direct shortcuts while syncing other settings. Existing server layouts and bindings are preserved, including during explicit Upload. Missing-layout errors identify the language where available and exact layout IDs.
|
||
- Disabled synchronization disables dependent controls. Save can persist disabling without connecting; forgetting the saved password remains available. Status messages can be selected, copied and scrolled.
|
||
- Selection diagnostics record expected/copied text before and after recovery, clipboard sequences and retries, timing, focus/caret information and context interruptions. Failed verification now includes expected and actual text. Context retains up to 128 events for 30 seconds.
|
||
|
||
## Validation
|
||
105 sync/protocol/conflict checks and 483 native regression checks and 48 updater checks passed. All 12 manifest files and all three executable versions were verified in the release ZIP. Focused partial-sync UI checks and screenshot PNG-save regressions passed. During development, conversion/diagnostic and typo integration scenarios passed, including Undo and uninterrupted typing. Final interactive input testing is limited by this execution session reporting no foreground window; the full screenshot UI suite also failed its pan assertion at 240 DPI. These interactive checks are not claimed as passing.
|
||
|
||
## Limitations
|
||
Dictionary typo correction is experimental and has no sentence context. Ambiguous words are unchanged. The reported asynchronous selection mismatch in ChatGPT is not fixed by the new diagnostics; full-range verification still cancels unsafe replacements. OpenBao synchronization remains experimental and requires HTTPS, KV v2 and a provisioned userpass account/policy. Ordered layout/language lists are resolved as whole settings; partial mode keeps the entire local layout configuration. Update participating PCs together for the new profile fields. No account registration, MFA, non-root namespaces or reverse-proxy URL prefixes.
|
||
|
||
**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. |
