Cross-platform clipboard sync for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Dual-mode sync: Peer-to-Server (P2S) or Peer-to-Peer (P2P)
Full self-hosting support for privacy and control
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
