GPaste 50.1 released

It’s available there, get it while it’s hot!

This release targets GNOME 50.

If you’re looking for the legacy applet/tray-icon, it’s available here.

What’s new?

This is a maintenance release.

  • Fix building with -Dgnome-shell=false: the UI’s Pango dependency was only pulled in when the GNOME Shell extension was enabled, so a build without the extension failed to configure
  • Restore GTK deprecation version-gating (GDK_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED/MAX_ALLOWED) and drop the unused build-time gjs dependency
  • The GNOME Shell extension now targets GNOME Shell 50
  • Bump the libgpaste and libgpaste-gtk4 soversions to reflect the API/ABI changes since 45.8 (the GTK 4 port), which the 50.0 release omitted to do

And don’t forget to run gpaste-client dr aka gpaste-client daemon-reexec after upgrading GPaste to activate new functionalities ;)

You can then run gpaste-client daemon-version to check that the correct daemon is running.
