Latest Windows release
v0.6.11 — 2026-10-29
Changes
- Show an update progress window for manual checks and installation. Downloads display percentage and received/total size; verification, unpacking, installation and restart have distinct status messages.
- Keep the progress window running independently while KSwitcher exits and restarts. After the new application confirms startup, show the installed version and a Done button in the same window, without a separate completion notification.
- Show recovery and installation errors in the same window after the application exits. Background update checks remain quiet.
The progress UI is provided by the currently installed updater. Updating from v0.6.10 to this release still uses the older interface; subsequent updates use the new window.
Validation
214 native regression checks, 466 input/UI checks, screenshot editor UI checks, isolated notification registration, 45 updater regression checks, and progress-window checks for download, installation, recovery and completion states. Network tests verify real download progress and release download/checksum validation. Startup acknowledgement tests prevent reporting success for ordinary startup or a missing updater handshake.
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.
Build and package:
.\build.ps1 -Stage -Test

Commit the archive, checksum and sources together. Publish both assets on a stable release-vX.Y.Z tag matching the executable version. Keep v0.4.2 as the last legacy tag.
