Latest Windows release

v0.6.56 — 2026-11-06

Changes

• Experimental, opt-in LAN mouse and keyboard sharing inside the existing resident process; no extra service.
• Discover running KSwitcher instances and pair them using the same generated code on both PCs. Trust is DPAPI-protected locally, outside settings sync/export.
• Arrange the active neighbour left, right, above or below. Select opposite sides on both PCs; mouse and keyboard transfer together through that screen edge.
• Authenticated AES-256-GCM input channel; Ctrl+Alt+Esc emergency return, disconnect recovery and held-key release.
• One active pair. Clipboard/files and remote secure desktops are not supported. Stop MWB before using input sharing. Disabled by default.

Validation

124 input/channel, 41 pairing/configuration/network and 813 settings/chat-profile checks passed before release preparation. Full release regression passed: 124 LAN input, 34 LAN pairing (41 with network lifecycle), 813 chat/settings, 568 input, 332 native, 126 sync, dictionary equivalence (140,939 words), wheel, StayHere, Utilities, screenshot UI/save/registration, 54 updater checks and updater progress. Physical two-PC validation is pending: network tests use loopback and input-state tests simulate desktops. LAN sharing remains experimental; follow LAN-PREVIEW.md on both PCs.

Upgrade and compatibility

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. Keep the three KSwitcher executables together; StayHere runs independently.

Update every synchronizing PC to v0.6.51 or newer before sharing application-specific snippets. Older versions do not understand application restrictions and may treat scoped snippets as global. Keep a backup before downgrading. Settings with Telegram Web profiles require v0.6.51 or newer. Chat profiles now synchronize from v0.6.53. Update every synchronizing PC to v0.6.53 or newer before syncing: older clients reject the chat-profile field. Synchronization stores application names, visible chat names and language IDs on your configured OpenBao server. No message contents are included.

Download KSwitcher-win-x64.zip with SHA256SUMS.txt. 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.
