What's new in this version:

- Custom settings from scripts (using settings() function) are now saved in "copyq-scripts.ini" file in configuration directory. Existing configuration needs to be moved manually from "[script]" section in the main configuration file ("copyq info config" command prints the path) to "[General]" section to the new file (in the same directory)
- Correct clipboard owner (window title) is now used when the window is hidden after copy operation (e.g. password manager copies password and hides its window immediately)
- New script functions onStart and onExit allow to defined commands run when the application starts and exits
- New script functions pointerPosition and setPointerPosition to get/set mouse cursor position on screen
- New script callback onClipboardUnchanged called when clipboard changes but monitored content remains the same
- Block default shortcut overridden by a command while its filter command needs to run
- Item selection is not cleared when main window hides in response to activating an item or automatically when unfocused
- Clipboard dialog opens much faster and retrieves clipboard data only when needed
- Clipboard dialog contains special clipboard formats and the whole list is sorted - plain text first, HTML, other text, application, application specific (application/x-), special (uppercase)
- Detect encoding for other text formats
- Method text for ByteArray returns correctly formatted text from unicode encoded data (e.g. UTF-8)
- Show pin and tag menu items even if shortcut is not assigned (can be disabled completely in Command dialog)
- Hide encrypt/decrypt commands when keys for Encrypt plugin don't exist
- Command list is focused when Command dialog opens; the less important "Find" field is smaller and moved below the list
- Process manager is completely redone and the dialog is no longer created at application start (faster application start, smaller memory footprint)
- Process manager has filter field for searching for commands
- Process manager has new column showing error message
- Process manager has color status icons for running, starting and failed processes
- Next/Previous formats are no longer available (were rarely used and untested)
- Updated donation link: https://liberapay.com/CopyQ/
- FakeVim, if enabled, is used for other multi-line text fields in the application (e.g. item notes, command editor)
- FakeVim, if in a dialog, binds save and quit command to the dialog buttons - :w for Apply, :wq for OK, :q for Cancel
- FakeVim status bar shows an icon for errors and warnings
- FakeVim now handles set commands correctly
- FakeVim text cursor is gray if the editor is not focused
- Fix opening image editor for encrypted items
- Fix opening SVG image editor if the bitmap one is unset
- Fix stopping client processes properly
- Fix showing main window under mouse pointer (with showAt function)
- Fix client crash when calling a method without instance (e.g. command "copyq ByteArray().size")
- OSX: Fix opening main window above full screen window
- OSX: Fix selecting item with Up/Down keys when searching
- X11: Fix setting wrong window title for own clipboard
- X11: Fix synchronizing selection if the change is quick
- X11: Fix tray icon on KDE
