Latest Windows release
v0.6.9 — 2026-10-29
Changes
- Show automatic update announcements using the same native Windows notification channel as screenshots. Review update opens the update check and confirmation; Later dismisses the notification.
- Retry notification delivery after five minutes if Windows rejects it, and log update checks and delivery results. Successfully submitted notifications are deduplicated for the current version during the running session.
- Fix Settings flicker when using the mouse wheel: skip layout work at scroll boundaries, move only changed controls in one batch, and avoid erasing the entire window background.
Validation
203 native checks, 456 input/layout checks, screenshot editor UI integration, isolated notification registration and activation checks, and 45 updater checks. Regression coverage includes notification retry/deduplication, review-only activation, partial wheel steps, scroll boundaries and batched control movement.
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.
Windows notification banners follow system notification and Do not disturb settings. The new update notification behavior takes effect after installing v0.6.9.
