What's new in this version:

Added:
- CSS properties for pinned/notes indicator color and width. See Plugin Indicators:
- ItemPinned { qproperty-pinnedIndicatorColor: rgba(0, 0, 255, 128); }
- ItemPinned[CopyQ_selected="true"] {
- qproperty-pinnedIndicatorColor: rgba(255, 204, 0, 255)
- ItemNotes { qproperty-notesIndicatorColor: rgba(100, 200, 100, 180); }
- ItemNotes { qproperty-notesIndicatorWidth: 24; }

- One Dark theme
- Diagnostic information in About dialog and version output for easier troubleshooting
- Script function stats() now includes per-process memory information.

Changed:
- "Show under mouse cursor" shortcut now hides the window if it is already visible
- Updated icon font to Font Awesome 7.2.0
- Dropped private Qt header usage (replaced with public QNativeInterface API)
- Note for packagers: The application no longer links against private Qt headers, so it does not need to be rebuilt on Qt minor version updates
- Dropped support for unmaintained Qt 5 version of the app
- Improved performance of scripts

Fixed:
- blank items appearing in search results
- rounded item corners showing wrong background color
- item background rendering on some systems and themes
- item vertical misalignment (missing top margin)
- tray icon not showing before encryption password prompt
- tray menu not showing on Wayland when triggered via shortcut
- version string
- crash when accessing invalid ItemSelection
- item scrollbar colors
- a memory leak in clipboard monitor process and other long running client processes
- Windows: Excludes unnecessary test executable and some libraries from installer and portable zip
