Changelog

0.2.0 · Released September 19, 2026

Desktop, CLI, and website released together

Source manifests, the desktop app, mclip-cli, website structured data, and the release workflow now agree on 0.2.0. The public Release includes a macOS ARM64 DMG, Windows x64 MSI/EXE installers, Linux x86_64 preview DEB/AppImage packages, and SHA-256-verified CLI assets for all three platforms.

This release adds pinned history, the six-page Settings Center, local sensitive-content masking, text quick actions, Agent CLI workflows, Chinese/English/Japanese UI, and lazy auxiliary windows. macOS remains unnotarized, Windows remains unsigned, and Linux x86_64 remains preview support pending X11/XWayland and named Wayland session evidence.

0.2.0

Japanese app and website localization

Adds Japanese across the desktop app, including main history, previews, the image viewer, quick actions, About, and Preferences. Follow System resolves Japanese OS locales to Japanese, while Chinese, English, and Japanese share one parity-checked typed catalog contract.

Publishes Japanese home and changelog routes with three-language canonical, hreflang, Open Graph, and JSON-LD metadata. The root and x-default remain English. mclip-cli command names, help, and output remain English-first and are not localized by this change.

0.2.0

Sensitive-content presentation protection and source exclusions

Adds a local, bounded, versioned detector for a small high-confidence set of sensitive text. Desktop history and default CLI/Agent output mask classified content. Explicit UI actions or one-invocation --raw/--reveal-secrets options can reveal it, while copy continues to use the original content without echoing it in the action result.

Privacy Preferences can exclude capture by stable application identity and report the real platform capability. macOS uses a bundle ID, Windows a normalized executable name, and X11 WM_CLASS; pure Wayland is currently unavailable and is not reported as enforced.

Masking is presentation protection, not encryption at rest. History remains local plaintext, and heuristic detection or source identity can produce false positives or false negatives. This is not a password manager, DLP system, or breach-prevention guarantee.

0.2.0

Text quick actions and composable CLI pipelines

Text details add JSON prettify/minify, Base64, and URL-component encode/decode. Results preview in an independent window; Copy follows the normal clipboard flow, while replacing the original requires confirmation and preserves its stable ID and pin state.

mclip-cli transform keeps stdout content-only and reads no history or clipboard. copy --stdin and implicit pipelines write one UTF-8 source to the system clipboard without directly mutating history. Input is limited to 1 MiB and output to 4 MiB.

0.1.1

A faster, clearer complete core experience

Completes the Tailwind CSS 4 migration and density polish, adds System/Light/Dark appearance, up to 500 history items, configurable main/archive counts, row numbers, and branding. Text and file rows are tighter without shrinking image rows; main, archive, and detail windows remain independent.

Adds a dedicated maximized/restorable image viewer with Escape support and one canonical active target for search, keyboard, and pointer input. Color-code, emoji, long-file-name, and full-path presentation are also refined.

Runtime loading now keeps only the main window on the startup path, warms previews, and creates About, Preferences, and the image viewer on demand. Revisioned snapshot/delta history updates and a bounded single-flight image cache cut hidden-window work. On an Apple M2, measured tray-ready median improved 51.3%, while repeated viewer-open median fell from 384.62 ms to 49.37 ms.

The Agent CLI tab distinguishes missing, outdated, unknown, current, and newer versions with install, upgrade, or reinstall actions and no automatic downgrade. Desktop and public installers verify the same-Release SHA-256 asset before replacement.

0.1.0

First public release

Adds tray clipboard history for macOS and Windows, text/image/file history with file restore, search, independent preview windows, preferences, and Chinese/English UI.
