GPaste 50.9 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, headlined by a crash that hit anyone copying files.

  • Fix the daemon crashing when copying files right after copying anything else: the file-list comparison read the clipboard’s tagged union without checking what it actually held, walking a text value (or a colour’s floats) as a list of files
  • Fix a memory leak on every clipboard read: the file list GDK hands back is the caller’s to free
  • Fix gpaste-client exiting silently with status 255, instead of showing its usage, on an unknown command or a wrong number of arguments

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.
