Releases

The keychain prompt

• If you used the disk image and then installed the App Store edition, macOS asked for your login keychain password on first launch, naming id.uniauth.clip.devicekey. Nothing was wrong and Deny was safe, but a clipboard app asking for your password reads as a break-in. It no longer happens.
• The cause: macOS ties a keychain item to the signature of the app that created it, and the two Mac editions are signed differently — Developer ID for the disk image, Apple's own for the store build. Both were storing the sync key under one name, so each was reading an item the other owned. They now use separate names and cannot see each other's.
• Your passphrase is not affected. The build that wrote the existing key can read it without a prompt, so it moves it to the new name silently on first launch. Nothing to re-enter, nothing lost.
• Installing the App Store edition fresh will ask for your sync passphrase once, as any new install does.

Everything else

• No other changes. Capture, history, search, pinning, sync and auto-paste are untouched.

The icon

• The Mac icon now fills its space the way every other app's does, at every size.
• The cause was not the artwork. Ten icon slots were being fed by seven files, because a 32px image serves both 16@2x and 32@1x, and likewise at 256 and 512. The compiler keeps one slot per file, so six of the ten representations were silently dropped — every size above 256 among them. macOS had nothing to draw at large sizes, fell back to the 256px image at its natural size, and left a border around it that looked like a margin problem.
• 1.2 read that border as a shape problem and inset the artwork, which made it smaller still. That was wrong and is reverted. Each slot now has its own file.

Everything else

• No functional change. This release and 1.2 differ from 1.1 only in how the icon is drawn.

Superseded by 1.3

• This release reshaped the Mac icon on the theory that macOS was not masking it. That was not the cause, and the change made the icon smaller rather than fixing it. See 1.3.
• Both Mac editions were put on one version number here, which was worth doing and still stands.

Updates

• UniClip now asks, on its second launch, whether it may check for updates on its own. Whichever you answer is remembered, and you can change it any time in Settings, under Privacy.
• 1.0 asked nothing and checked nothing. It shipped with automatic checks switched off rather than unset, which Sparkle reads as a question already answered, so the update scheduler started and then did nothing for the life of the build.
• Nothing about how an update is verified has changed: it is installed only if signed by the same Apple Developer ID as the copy you are running.
• If you are running 1.0, it could not have brought you here. You either came back to this page or clicked Check for Updates — which is exactly the problem this release fixes.

Everything else

macOS

• Menu bar app with no Dock icon. ⌘⇧V opens the history, typing filters it, Return pastes.
• Captures text, images and file URLs, with the app each item came from.
• Pin the things you paste constantly so they stay at the top.
• Optional auto-paste, off until you turn it on and explained before macOS is asked for the privilege.
• Installs an update only if it is signed by the same Apple Developer ID as the copy you are running. See the known issue below for how this build finds one.
