  • End-to-end encryption with zero-knowledge access
  • Fully configurable: set clipboard limits, encryption salt, and hash complexity

✨ What's New in v3.2.0

Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux):

  • P2P: Refreshed signaling and data-channel handling, with fixes for race conditions, incorrect peer counts, and peers dropping after system sleep; WebSocket ping/pong and data-channel heartbeats for idle sessions; a bounded wait when closing peer connections after sleep
  • Linux: Optional Wayland clipboard watch (wl-paste --watch) alongside polling; longer wl-clipboard timeouts for reliability; new CLI overrides: --gui / --xmode (true or false) and --polling (seconds) for the clipboard polling interval
  • macOS: Pasteboard access locking for safer reads; Dock icon hidden when running as a tray app
  • Windows & macOS: Dedicated PyInstaller spec files for reproducible builds
  • Login & networking: Optional custom SSL CA path (GUI and CLI); minor STOMP/WebSocket client adjustments
  • UI: Login field tooltips; tray icon updates; main window centers on the primary monitor;
  • Packaging: pyproject.toml for streamlined multi-platform packaging

Mobile (Android):

  • P2P logic aligned with the desktop refresh for stability and consistency across the mesh
  • Foreground service rework for smoother background sync
  • UI messaging: escape sequences stripped from on-screen messages
