Latest Windows release

v0.6.46 — 2026-11-05

Changes

• Bundle tools/StayHere.exe and tools/StayHere-README.md. Start the activity utility from Utilities → StayHere; it does not start automatically with KSwitcher.
• StayHere starts enabled. Left-click its tray icon to pause/resume or right-click for Exit. While enabled, it prevents automatic display/system sleep and checks inactivity every 15 seconds; after three minutes without input it sends F15. It does not move the mouse, bypass locking, install autostart or directly control Teams presence. Locked/disconnected sessions receive no simulated activity.
• Include StayHere source and reproducible GCC/CMake builds. CLI status/pause/resume/exit parsing tolerates launcher whitespace. Normal updates replace bundled StayHere and documentation while preserving personal utilities. A running old instance continues until exited; relaunch to use the updated executable.
• Retain all v0.6.45 Far snippet, Utilities and tools-folder changes and the v0.6.44 newest-history-selection fix.
• Correct the Far test fixture's working directory: a long temporary path could scroll the command line and invalidate absolute cursor-coordinate assertions. Application snippet behavior is unchanged in this release.

Validation

Passed isolated StayHere start/status/pause/resume/exit checks, Utilities regressions, dictionary equivalence (140,939 words), 105 sync checks, shared wheel tests, 319 native checks, 574 input checks, screenshot UI/save/registration, 54 updater checks and updater progress UI. The updater replaced a running isolated StayHere executable successfully. Final package manifests and downloaded assets are checked before completion. Real-Far spot checks confirmed expansion, caret placement and markers; the uninterrupted full interactive run remains outstanding because unrelated foreground changes cancel it. No additional Far application-code change is shipped in v0.6.46.

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 its configurator and screenshot editors, and extract the entire ZIP into its installation folder. Keep personal data/, customized dictionaries and your own tools. Find tools/StayHere.exe beside the executable actually running.

Download KSwitcher-win-x64.zip with SHA256SUMS.txt. Keep the three KSwitcher executables together; history uses another instance of KSwitcher.exe. StayHere runs independently. The package contains no personal settings, credentials or clipboard history.

Publish stable release-vX.Y.Z tags matching the executable version. Keep v0.4.2 as the last legacy tag.
