What's new in this version:

Added:
- Per-MIME clipboard size limits and OOM protection via clipboard_mime_size_limit config option and COPYQ_CLIPBOARD_MIME_SIZE_LIMIT environment variable. For example text/html.*:0;.*:100M disables storing HTML and sets 100MiB max size for all other formats (this size limit is the default: .*:100M).
- AppImage support (WITH_APPIMAGE CMake build option)

Fixed:
- Fixed thumbnails hidden for tagged image items if "Show simple items" option is enabled
- Fixed window invisible in remote desktop sessions
- Fixed null characters in concatenated selected items breaking paste in other applications
- Handle possible file operation errors and locks when synchronizing items to files on disk and shared storage
- Avoids potential crash on fetching very large data in clipboard
- Wayland: Fixed portal shortcuts handling in non-default app sessions
- Wayland: Fixed main window shown on startup with tray disabled on wlroots compositors
