What's New in v0.6.0

This release introduces Clipboard History Sync - a major enhancement that ensures your clipboard content reaches all paired devices, even if they were offline when you copied it.

🔄 Clipboard History Sync

The Problem: Previously, DecentPaste used a "fire-and-forget" model - if a peer was offline when you copied something, they'd never receive it.

The Solution: v0.6.0 introduces a smart sync protocol that buffers your clipboard messages and delivers them when peers reconnect:

• Automatic sync on reconnection - When a device comes back online, it automatically receives missed clipboard content from all paired peers
• Hash-first protocol - Efficiently checks what's already synced before transferring content (prepares for future file transfer support)
• 5-minute buffer - Messages are retained for offline peers for up to 5 minutes
• End-to-end encrypted - All synced content remains encrypted with your peer's unique shared secret
• Bi-directional - Both sides exchange missed messages simultaneously

This is especially important for mobile devices where apps frequently get backgrounded and lose network connections.

📖 Deep Dive: For the full technical design including architectural decisions, edge cases, and security model, see the Clipboard History Sync Implementation Plan.

Features & Improvements

• iOS Share Extension - Sync Share Extension version with main app and update workflows
• UI Glassmorphism - Add glassmorphism effects and enhance hover transitions
• Trust Indicators - Enhanced styles and improved hover effects

Bug Fixes

• mDNS Dialing - Resolve mDNS dialing issue by using PeerId over address

Under the Hood

• Optimize peer discovery logic to preserve existing device names
• Remove hero badge and update CTA styles for consistency
• Enhance styles and simplify structure in landing page
• Update security headers, fetch logic, and schema formatting

Full Changelog: v0.5.0...v0.6.0

What's New in v0.5.0

This release introduces hardware-backed secure storage for vault encryption, replacing the previous Stronghold implementation with platform-native security mechanisms and adds a new 2FA option for desktop.

Features & Improvements

• Mobile biometric authentication - Unlock your vault with Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint. Uses platform-native hardware security: Secure Enclave on iOS, TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) on Android
• iOS Share button - Share text directly to DecentPaste from any app using the iOS Share Sheet. No more switching apps to copy and paste!
• Secure memory with zeroize - Cryptographic keys and secrets are now automatically wiped from memory when no longer needed, preventing sensitive data from lingering in RAM
• Desktop 2FA (secure_storage_with_pin) - New authentication method combining OS keychain storage with PIN decryption for two-factor security
• Linux secret storage upgrade - Switched from linux-keyutils to secret-service for improved reliability
• Comprehensive security docs - New SECURITY.md documenting cryptographic stack and threat model

Bug Fixes

• Android JSON serialization - Fixed ByteArray serialization in retrieveSecret
• Keyring dependencies - Fixed platform-specific keyring configurations
• iOS compatibility - Fixed PRODUCT_NAME quoting and Info.plist issues

Under the Hood

Full Changelog: v0.3.3...v0.3.5

What's New in v0.3.3

This release focuses on mobile platform improvements and developer experience enhancements. We've streamlined mobile builds by removing unused components and improved the pairing experience with better user guidance.

✨ Features & Improvements

• Smarter Notification Handling — The app now loads your settings on startup and respects notification preferences immediately, so you won't get clipboard sync notifications if you've disabled them.

• Leaner Mobile Builds — Removed the notification plugin from Android/iOS builds entirely. Since mobile platforms can't receive notifications when backgrounded (network connections are terminated), this eliminates the unnecessary POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission request on Android 13+ and reduces binary size.

• GitHub Release Automation — Added /github-release skill for Claude Code that auto-generates formatted release notes from conventional commits.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Mobile Pairing UX — Removed dead background notification code that could never trigger on mobile. Added helpful hints in the Peers view and pairing modal reminding users to "keep the app open on both devices" during pairing.

🔧 Under the Hood

• Removed Android Foreground Service — Cleaned up ClipboardSyncService and associated foreground service code that was no longer needed after architectural changes.

• Dependency Updates — Updated rand crate to 0.9, refreshed Cargo.lock dependencies for security and stability improvements.

• Refactored Platform Capabilities — Split Tauri capabilities into default.json (all platforms) and desktop.json (desktop-only features like notifications) for cleaner platform separation.

• Documentation Refresh — Restructured CLAUDE.md with improved clarity and practical development workflows.
