Highlights 🌟
-
🧩 Local process plugins in the paste context menu A plugin is a folder with a
manifest.jsonand a script or program; CrossPaste runs it with the paste on stdin and applies stdout to the clipboard, history, a notification or the browser. Plugins start disabled and are managed under Extensions → Plugins. A bundled Translate plugin offers a target-language submenu (#5210 [#5212] [#5228]). -
🔄 Catch up on missed pastes when a peer reconnects Desktop pulls a trusted peer's pastes through an incremental cursor whenever the peer becomes connected, filling in what was missed while it was offline; remote pastes with invalid content are discarded instead of being written to the clipboard (#4897).

crosspasteis the CLI on Windows installs Installer and Microsoft Store packages register bothcrosspasteandcrosspaste-clias CLI aliases, the Store package ships the CLI, and the control socket moved out of the MSIX-virtualized temp directory so CLI commands no longer report the app as not running (#5190 [#5191] [#5192] [#5193] [#5195]). -
🐧 Linux link/file opening, RPM packages and a dnf repository Links, HTML, RTF and files open through xdg-open, "show in file manager" selects the file via FileManager1, EL9 RPM packages for x86_64 and aarch64 are published alongside the deb, and RPM installs subscribe to a signed dnf repository (#5184 [#5185] [#5186] [#5187]).
-
📋 Paste injection waits for the target app On macOS and Windows the paste keystroke is injected only after the previous app is back in the foreground (otherwise the user is asked to paste manually), shortcut-triggered pastes wait for the shortcut keys to be released, X11 waits for the target window, and the keystroke itself is sent in one SendInput call on Windows and as flagged events on macOS (#5247).
-
🪟 Windows MSIX installs again The 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 installer packages failed with 0x80080204 on current Windows builds because two appExecutionAlias extensions were declared under one Application. The manifest now declares the CLI alias in its own Application, so the package installs and updates cleanly (#5188 [#5189]).
