    grabit 0.7.0

    • touch support: the region selector, the editor toolbar, the recording control bar and pins all work without a mouse (#18)
    • -e -f <file> annotates an existing png, jpeg or webp instead of capturing
    • edit.toolbar_placement = attach hides the editor toolbar until you select a region, then puts it against the selection instead of at the top of the monitor (#6)
    • edit.swatches sets the six color buttons in the editor, all at once or one at a time with grabit set edit.swatches <n> <color> (#7)
    • gui.radius rounds grabit's own ui: the selector and editor, the recording control bar, and the preview and ocr cards
    • region.window_radius rounds window captures to the compositor's corner radius
    • region.snap_animation animates the window-snap highlight instead of jumping
    • new freehand arrow tool: draw a curve and it grows an arrowhead
    • window snap now sees bars and panels, so waybar can be snapped to and captured
    • the selector's hint follows the monitor your cursor is on and says what applies right now
    • an unknown key in config.toml now warns and suggests the key you meant
    • the man page and OPTIONS.md were corrected against the code, and ci now checks them
    • fix the callout tool drawing its text input over the bubble, and its toolbar icon
    • fix captures on rotated outputs having the transform applied twice (#4)
    • fix the cursor position readout showing 0,0 before the pointer had moved
    • fix .sxcu uploads: wrong multipart content type, random and regex missing from delete and thumbnail urls, and slow uploads killed at five minutes
    • arrow, play and tool icons redrawn at a consistent size

    grabit 0.6.1

    • recording.show_dimensions overlays the region size while recording (#14)
    • edit.smooth fits a curve through freehand pen/marker strokes, off by default
    • --version now prints the git commit it was built from, so an installed and a locally built grabit are distinguishable
    • fix every capture coming out as a 250px thumbnail when preview.enabled was set, affecting copies, uploads and pins alike
    • fix scaled and rotated displays: recording produced nothing at all on scaled outputs, screenshots were upscaled on fractional-scale ones, and FLIPPED_90/FLIPPED_270 were swapped
    • fix things destroying files they should not: recordings overwriting an existing file, aborting a recording deleting one it never wrote, and grabit sxcu add silently replacing a registered uploader
    • fix grabit set destroying config.toml comments, dropping float values, replacing a symlinked config, and save_dir = "~/Pictures" creating a directory named ~
    • fix aborting on non-ascii OCR and notification text, a pipewire renegotiation writing past the frame pool, and pid files falling back to a world-writable /tmp
    • pins no longer jitter while dragging, and no longer allocate buffers for monitors they are not on
    • grabit now checks whether ffmpeg supports the newer -fps_mode and uses it, falling back to the deprecated -vsync on ffmpeg older than 5.1 (#15)

    grabit 0.6.0

    • recording now works on KDE Plasma and GNOME, not just wlroots: KDE uses KWin's zkde_screencast_unstable_v1, GNOME uses org.gnome.Mutter.ScreenCast, both read back over pipewire with no portal dialog. KDE needs an installed grabit (make install) because KWin only offers that interface to a program with a registered .desktop
    • --tray persistent tray icon with every action in its menu; tray.icon picks the icon
    • -w/--window captures the active window on hyprland, and on niri via its own window screenshot
    • -L/--last reuses the last region (--no-last, region.repeat_last)
    • --delay <secs> waits before capturing so menus stay open (capture.delay)
    • editor: tool groups for lines/shapes/redact with dropdowns, rounded rect, line styles, spotlight, callout bubbles, numbered counters, redo, and a magnifier key
    • editor: pressing a group's key again cycles within it, which is the only key route to rounded rect (#12)
    • --tesseract --show renders the result on screen as a text card and still copies it; --no-copy shows without copying
    • translate gained libretranslate and deepl backends alongside trans
    • state split out of config.toml into state.toml, so grabit no longer rewrites your config (#7)
    • save_state = false turns the state file off entirely (#13)
    • grabit help <topic>, and --help <topic> now works instead of silently ignoring the topic
    • grabit sxcu show masks auth tokens by default; --show-secrets reveals them
    • blur and pixelate actually pixelate, and blur no longer hides annotations while you pick its region
    • fix dragging annotations between monitors (#8)
    • fix default_action documenting a copy default it never applied
    • fix grabit set printing defaults instead of your current values
    • fix recordings landing as webm when recording.format said mp4, and name the missing encoder when ffmpeg has no libx264
    • fix the cursor being hidden while recording on KDE
    • fix grabit --window hanging on niri until interrupted
    • pins use cursor-shape-v1, survive monitor hotplug, and no longer burn CPU
    • screenshots and the selector are faster
    • far less noise: multi-line error walls collapsed to one actionable line each, and progress chatter moved to --debug

    grabit 0.5.1

    • recordings can be paused and resumed from the control bar
    • editor: move/resize tool (s), letter shortcuts for every tool, toolbar remembers where you park it, region changes are undoable
    • update man page
    • fix clipboard images pasting blank and freezing the receiving app on niri (#3)
    • clipboard offered image/png for everything, so jpeg and webp copies failed to decode
    • -q, --quiet and --debug were ignored at startup and did nothing for subcommands
    • fix washed out recordings from a mismatched color matrix, webm now carries mp4 color metadata
    • fix blur annotations breaking on further edits
    • fix pin cursor scale and dragging pins across monitors
    • fix confirm-mode double-click and held-arrow nudge
    • temp captures moved from /tmp to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/grabit

    • --fullscreen=all captures every monitor stitched into one image

    • pins can be dragged across monitors
    • recordings no longer play fast forwarded when the encoder cant keep up
