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

This release targets GNOME 51.

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

What’s new?

This is a beta for the upcoming 51.0, and the largest release in a long while: a new history view, a redesigned graphical tool, and new ways to store and protect your history. Please test it before 51.0 lands.

The history

• Rewrite the history view of the GNOME Shell extension and the graphical tool: scrollable, loaded as you go, with image thumbnails and colour swatches
• Pin favourite items so they are never dropped, and filter the history down to them
• Merge several items into one

The graphical tool and the extension

• Redesign the graphical tool, now adaptive
• Make the GNOME Shell menu fully keyboard-reachable, and show GPaste’s own pages in the shell’s extension preferences
• Optionally run the daemon inside GNOME Shell (experimental)

Where your history lives

• Optionally encrypt the history, with the passphrase kept in the keyring
• Add SQLite storage, plain or encrypted, and a way to move an existing history to it
• Take passwords back off the clipboard once their timeout has passed

And the rest

• Let copied colours paste as text too
• Record keyboard shortcuts by pressing them, and reset any preference from its right-click menu
• Track images by default, with higher default history limits
• Route global keyboard shortcuts through the XDG portal only
• Move to the org.gnome.GPaste3 D-Bus interface: third-party clients need updating
• Requires GLib 2.90, GTK 4.24 and libadwaita 1.10

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.
