papier: releases

papier 0.6.0

2026-11-09T00:00:00Z

Added

Windows: papier shows the system's clipboard history (the one Win+V shows), searched and filtered as on Linux, at a shortcut of its own (picker.shortcut, Win+Shift+V by default). Enter puts an entry back on the clipboard; an entry can be copied as plain text, edited (the edit is a new copy), removed, and the history cleared. The system keeps the history and its pins (Settings > System > Clipboard). The release has a papier-<version>-windows-x64.zip. Its CI builds it and runs its tests on Windows, where the system answers papier's reads; the runner's session has the clipboard history off, so reading the entries, putting one back and removing it have not run on a real desktop yet.

Changed

Each archive of a release has its SHA-256 in a file beside it (<archive>.sha256), in place of SHA256SUMS.txt.

papier 0.5.2

2026-11-09T00:00:00Z

Fixed

Settings: a change (a theme chosen, a switch) is saved when ~/.config/papier does not exist yet. It was lost, and the preferences read back from no file put the old value back. It is gui_toolkit 0.123.0.

papier 0.5.1

2026-11-09T00:00:00Z

Fixed

Settings: a number with a unit (Max age, in days) no longer makes its line as tall as the page. It is gui_toolkit 0.122.0.

papier 0.5.0

2026-11-09T00:00:00Z

Changed

The history is a SQLite database, history.db, with SQLite linked into papier. Each change is written at once, in one transaction. The history of papier 0.4 (index and blobs/) is imported at the first start, with its ids, times and pins, then deleted.
The search finds a word anywhere in the text of a copy, not only in its first kilobyte. A word of one or two letters is still looked for in the preview.

papier 0.4.0

2026-11-09T00:00:00Z

Added

Settings (Ctrl+, or the gear of the title bar): every preference on four pages (Appearance, Window, History, Capture), the search, a switch, a choice, a slider or a field for each, the themes as cards in their own colours. A change is saved and applied at once. It is gui_toolkit's prefs_page (0.120.0).

Changed

capture.max_bytes is capture.size_limit.

papier 0.3.0

2026-11-09T00:00:00Z

Added

The machined finish, the default (picker.finish): bevelled buttons, the search as a sunken well with a ring of light when focused, the filters on a carved track. flat, gradient and glass are the others.
Themes with a dark and a light version (gui_toolkit 0.117.0): picker.theme names Papier or one of the toolkit's 25 themes; picker.mode shows the system's version and follows it when it changes, or the dark one, or the light one. picker.glow turns the halos off.

Changed

picker.theme no longer takes "papier light": the light version is picker.mode light.

papier 0.2.0

2026-11-09T00:00:00Z

Added

The menu of an entry: a right click on a row, the Menu key or Shift+F10. Copy, Copy as plain text (rich text), Edit…, Open (an address in the browser, a file with its program, the rest as a file of its type), Open with (the applications the system knows for the type: gui_toolkit's desktop.handlers_for_file), Show in folder (files), Save as…, Pin, Remove. Ctrl+O opens, Ctrl+S saves as.
The edit view: Ctrl+E or the pencil puts the text of an entry in an editor. Ctrl+Enter copies it as a new entry; Ctrl+S saves it in place of the entry (its place and its pin kept); Escape leaves.

Fixed

The preview follows an edit: it was kept by the entry's id, which an edit does not change.

papier 0.1.6

2026-11-09T00:00:00Z

Fixed

papier is in no task bar while hidden (gui_toolkit 0.114.2): started with --hidden, its window was a toplevel with no picture, and ShojiWM's task bar listed it. The toplevel is now made when the window shows.

papier 0.1.5

2026-11-09T00:00:00Z

Fixed

No spin at the end of a wait (gui_toolkit 0.114.1): on Wayland, a wait with less than a millisecond left returned at once, and the loop woke about 150 times before its deadline.

papier 0.1.4

2026-11-09T00:00:00Z

Fixed

The search field is one box: the field drew its own square focus ring inside the rounded search box. The box is now the toolkit's field_frame: one surface and one rounded focus ring around the icon and the field.

papier 0.1.3

2026-11-09T00:00:00Z

Fixed

The grip is grey: its lines asked the theme for a colour name it lacks, and got the violet that marks a missing name. They take the weak text's colour, finer and shorter.

papier 0.1.2

2026-11-09T00:00:00Z

Added

A grip in the title bar: three faint lines between the search and the filters mark a place reserved to move the window.

papier 0.1.1

2026-11-09T00:00:00Z

Fixed

The window takes the keyboard when it shows: papier asks the compositor for the focus (xdg-activation). ShojiWM's Windows 7 configuration did not focus it, so the arrows and the search did nothing until a click.
The tray icon shows: panels that read the icon in one call (Quickshell, Waybar) showed the "missing icon" pattern.
The selection moves at once over images: a picture is decoded on a thread of its own, and the newest selection wins. A 4K screenshot took about 180 ms to decode, and the window waited for it at each step.

papier 0.1.0

2026-11-09T00:00:00Z

Added

The clipboard's history on Wayland: every copy is recorded through the data-control protocol (ext-data-control-v1, or zwlr-data-control-unstable-v1), with no window and no focus: text, rich text (HTML), images (PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP, SVG) and files copied in a file manager.
One process for the session: papier lives in the notification area and its window comes up in a few milliseconds. A second papier hands it show; papier toggle is for a key binding.
The window: an integrated title bar with the search and the filters (All, Text, Images, Files, Pinned), a dense list that builds only the rows in view, the selected entry in full beside it (text in a monospace face, images, files), a splitter, a status bar with the keys. Its size, its place (X11) and the list's width are remembered.
The keyboard: typing filters, Up / Down / Page Up / Page Down move, Enter or a double click puts an entry back on the clipboard, Alt+1..9 the first nine, Ctrl+P pins, Shift+Delete removes, Tab switches the filter, Escape clears or hides.
Pinned entries stay whatever the limits.
Secrets are left out: what a password manager marks with x-kde-passwordManagerHint is not recorded.
The clipboard kept: when the program that owned it quits and empties it, the last entry goes back.
The history on the disk: content-addressed blobs (a copy of the same bytes is one file) and an index written atomically; the same copy twice is one entry, moved to the top.
Preferences (papier prefs, papier set, --pref): history limits, what to record, the size limit, types to ignore, the primary selection, the theme (papier, papier light, or any of gui_toolkit's palettes), the window's size and text size.
The command line: list, get, copy, pin, unpin, delete, clear, show, hide, toggle, quit.
The desktop: papier install adds a launcher with its icons, ~/.local/bin/papier and the start with the session; uninstall and status.
papiertool: build, test, check, live (the real program in a headless sway), shots, logo, package, notes, ship, site.
