[Stevo]

Updated to the current 3.9.0 version in the main repo.

Changes/fixes:

Large images in clipboard are no longer automatically converted to other
formats - it caused slowdowns and was mostly unnecessary since some usable
image format was provided.

The server/GUI process now provides the clipboard and no other process is
started (i.e. "copyq provideClipboard"). The other process helped to unblock
GUI in rare cases when an application requested large amount of clipboard
data, but it could cause some slowdowns to start the process.

Closing external editor focuses the edited item again (if the editor was open
from main window).

Only Global Shortcut commands are shown in tray menu.

Separate Global and Application shortcuts into tabs in configuration dialog.

New per-tab configuration allows disabling storing items on disk and limiting
number of items.

New script function unload() and forceUnload() allow unloading tabs from main
memory.

Tabs synchronized with a directory on disk are updated only when needed. An
update happens regularly when synced tab has focus or item data and are too
old. Update interval is 10s and can be changed by setting env variable
COPYQ_SYNC_UPDATE_INTERVAL_MS (in ms).

X11: New option allows to disable running automatic commands on X11 selection
change.

Fix rare crash on exit.

Fix value returned by filter() after it's hidden

Fix memory leak (tool bar and menu items were not properly cleaned up)

Fix crash when opening content dialog with many formats

OSX: Fix pixelated UI rendering on retina displays.

Windows: Fix blocking Ctrl, Shift and other modifier keys after invoking
paste action. The downside is that it's no longer possible to invoke command
assigned to a global shortcut repeatedly without releasing these keys.

X11: Fix high CPU usage when mouse selection cannot be accessed.

X11: Fix assigning global shortcuts with keypad keys

I have yet to delve into figuring out how to create keyboard shortcuts that paste my custom texts that I created in my MX Forum tab (that's a project for a rainy day) but so far 3.90 is working just fine using it the same way I used the earlier version. Nothing has exploded or not worked yet.

[Stevo]

Bumped up to 3.9.1 in the main MX 15 through 19 repositories.

[Stevo]

Updated to 3.10.0 in the MX 17-19 main repositories:

Use environment variable COPYQ_DEFAULT_ICON=1 to show the original
application icon.
Avoid updating menu unnecessarily
Require at least Qt 5.5
Use non-native color and font dialogs which fixes showing these in Gnome/Gtk
Fix GUI with fractional scaling
Improve clipboard/selection synchronization
Avoid reading clipboard in parallel in the monitor process

The requirement for at least Qt 5.5 means that updates can no longer be built for MX 15/16. I haven't checked to see if a flatpak/snap/appimage is a workaround for that release...

[Stevo]

Updated to 3.12.0 in main:

Unsaved data are now saved whenever application is unfocused, otherwise
immediately after an item is edited and saved or after ~5 minute intervals if
items change. These intervals can be configured - use copyq config to list
options with save_delay_ prefix. For example, disable storing after an item
is added (only when app is unfocused, exits or tab is unloaded):

copyq config save_delay_ms_on_item_added -1

Filter field in commands can now modify menu items. This is done by setting
properties to "menuItem" object. Example:

copyq:
menuItem['checkable'] = true
if (plugins.itempinned.isPinned.apply(this, selectedItems())) {
menuItem['checked'] = true
menuItem['text'] = 'Unpin'
menuItem['color'] = '#f00'
menuItem['tag'] = 'X'
} else {
menuItem['checked'] = false
menuItem['text'] = 'Pin'
menuItem['icon'] = ''
}

Application icon will no longer automatically change when there is an ongoing
operation (i.e. the icon snip animation). This caused performance issues in
some environments and it was not tested automatically so it often broke. When
clipboard storing is disabled the icon only changes opacity slightly.

New preview() script function shows/hides item preview.
