Changelog

Auto-paste on Ubuntu 26.04

• fixedAuto-paste works again on GNOME 50, the version Ubuntu 26.04 LTS ships. The paste helper only declared support up to GNOME 49, so GNOME refused to load it and choosing an entry copied it without pasting. Log out and back in once after updating.
• changedThe paste helper now declares GNOME 51 too, and no longer uses the API GNOME 51 removes.
• addedSettings now says when auto-paste is switched on but cannot work, and what to do about it, instead of showing it as on while nothing pastes.

Masking now holds everywhere

• securityA masked entry stayed masked in the full-content viewer. Opening one through the ⋯ menu, or with Shift+Enter, previously showed its plaintext. It now opens masked behind an explicit Reveal, and the character count is withheld while masked.
• securityThe viewer and the entry menu close when the window hides. An open viewer used to still be on screen the moment the window was reopened.
• securityThe window now hides when it loses focus, so the entry list no longer stays pinned over whatever you switch to.
• securityThe auto-paste helper now rejects paste requests that did not come from Clipmer. Any application on your session bus could previously trigger a paste into your focused window. Takes effect after your next login.
• securityTurning auto-paste off now removes the GNOME helper instead of leaving it running, and uninstalling Clipmer removes it too.
• securityThe window refuses to navigate, so dropping a link or a file onto it can no longer replace the interface, and a content security policy is now enforced.
• fixedRecording a shortcut that used an arrow key could stop clipboard capture permanently, with no error and no way to tell from the interface.
• fixedStarting Clipmer a second time silently broke the keyboard shortcut on Wayland until the next restart.
• fixedThe GNOME shortcut stopped working after restarting Clipmer, because it had been recorded against the previous process.
• fixedSearching for something with no matches, then pressing Down and Enter, copied an unrelated entry instead of doing nothing.
• fixedClicking an entry while a note was being edited could copy the entry above it.
• fixedThe window opened on the wrong monitor in some multi-display layouts, and expanding it on a short screen could push it off the top with no way to drag it back.
• fixedStart on login did nothing for AppImage users, while still showing as enabled.
• fixedMinimal view could not be switched off, and folders could not be deleted, once a Pro licence lapsed.
• changedClear history now says that entries saved in folders are kept, which is what it has always done.
• changedCtrl+Shift+B is registered as a fallback when your chosen shortcut cannot be bound, and the settings pane says which one is actually active.
• changedVery large copies are capped at 256 KB so a stray copy cannot slow the app down permanently. Capped entries are labelled.

A much bigger free tier

• changedFree clipboard history raised from 25 to 100 entries.
• changedLight and dark themes, the accent color, and the custom global shortcut are now free for everyone.
• changedThe source is now published under PolyForm Strict 1.0.0 instead of bespoke terms. Clipmer remains source-available, not open source.

Hide entries before you screen-share

• addedMask any entry so its contents render as dots in the list. Free for everyone.

Text only

• removedImage clipboard history. Clipmer now tracks text only, which removed the largest source of memory pressure.

Quieter in the background

• fixedThe history list no longer re-renders while the window is hidden.
• securityRotated the license verification public key.

A faster list

• changedHistory renders 25 entries at a time with a load-more row instead of building the whole list up front.
• fixedArrow-key navigation no longer rebuilds the entire list on every keypress.
• fixedThe settings version label now reads from the running app, and entry timestamps freeze when the window opens.

Auto-paste for everyone

• changedAuto-paste is now a free feature.
• fixedClipboard polling no longer allocates megabytes of base64 for an unchanged image.
