hrynco-kswitcher/Release

Latest Windows release

v0.6.45 — 2026-11-05

Changes

• Fix Far Manager snippet expansion and caret placement. Far uses Alt+Shift+Arrow selection, Ctrl+Insert copy and Shift+Insert paste, with exact trigger and inserted-text verification. Cancellation restores the full temporary selection. Both visible and hidden panels are supported.
• Run Far {cursor} and {enter} actions only after verified insertion. Far replacements must be nonempty, single-line and no longer than 4096 caret steps. Unsupported templates are rejected before selection; multiline clipboard pastes could execute commands before verification. Other applications retain accessibility verification.
• Add the tray Utilities menu. It scans trusted .exe files directly in tools beside the running KSwitcher.exe, sorted by filename and refreshed whenever the menu opens. Utilities run only when selected, use tools as their working directory and remain running independently.
• Include tools/README.txt in the release ZIP and manifest. Both extraction and automatic updates create the folder. Personal utility executables are preserved by updates; none are bundled or transferred through settings synchronization. Source-repository development scripts are excluded.
• Retain v0.6.44's newest-item selection when reopening clipboard history, including after a screenshot. Saved search/pinned filters remain active; background refreshes preserve the selected record while browsing.

Validation

Passed Utilities, dictionary equivalence (140,939 words), 105 sync checks, shared wheel regressions, 319 native checks, 574 input checks, screenshot UI/save/registration, 52 updater checks and updater progress UI. Updater tests cover creation of tools, preserving personal utilities and rollback. The actual ZIP was validated and installed through the unchanged v0.6.44 updater; all installed manifest hashes matched, tools/README.txt was created, and a staging-only utility was excluded from the ZIP. An 18-check real-Far integration run passed during development (visible/hidden panels, caret restoration, cursor markers and verified Enter). The final release-build Far run was canceled by an unrelated foreground change before expansion; an uninterrupted final-build desktop run remains outstanding.

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. Look for tools beside the executable actually running.

Download KSwitcher-win-x64.zip with SHA256SUMS.txt. Keep all three executables together; history uses another instance of KSwitcher.exe. 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.
