[0.3.0] - 2026-05-25

Fixed

• _notifyDaemonMissing now uses the correct ESM MessageTray import; the missing-binary desktop notification was previously silently swallowed by a catch block due to a ReferenceError on the legacy imports.ui.* path.
• clearItems() no longer double-destroys widgets: destroy_all_children() on the item list is sufficient; the preceding per-widget destroy() loop was redundant and could trigger warnings.
• Daemon now fails fast with a clear error message when the XDG data directory cannot be determined, instead of silently placing the database in the current working directory.

Performance

• make_thumbnail return type simplified to Result<Vec<u8>>; the previously returned base64 string was never used at the call site.
• prune() now collects IDs with a single ORDER BY subquery, then deletes with DELETE WHERE id IN (...), eliminating a redundant second query.
• get_raw_item no longer fetches thumbnail_blob (up to ~40 KB per row) when only text/binary content is needed for paste-back.
• Unnecessary clones of WriteRequest fields eliminated in write_to_clipboard.
• Hover hit-testing in the panel replaced: the previous O(n) per-widget bounds-check loop on every mouse-move is now O(tree-depth) via event.get_source() + parent walk, letting Clutter's own hit-test do the work.
• SetFocusedApp D-Bus call removed. The daemon stored the value but never read it; app exclusion runs entirely in the extension before SubmitItem is called. Eliminates one IPC round-trip on every window focus change.
• GetItemContent now returns raw bytes (ay) instead of a base64-encoded string (s). Eliminates base64 encode in the daemon and decode in GJS on every paste. The base64 crate dependency has been removed entirely.

[0.2.0] - 2026-05-25

Fixed

• MIME priority: plain text now preferred over rich text. When an application (code editors, web browsers, etc.) advertises both a plain-text and a rich-text (text/html, text/rtf) variant on the clipboard, Strata now captures the plain-text variant. Previously, text/html ranked above text/plain, causing syntax-highlighted HTML markup to be stored instead of the actual source text when copying from code editors. Rich-text types are still captured when no plain-text alternative is offered. Fix applied to both the Rust daemon (pick_mime) and the GNOME Shell extension (_pickMime) to keep them in sync.

[0.1.0] - 2026-05-24

Added

• Initial release.
• Rust daemon (strata-daemon) with SQLite/FTS5 storage, Wayland clipboard monitor, D-Bus interface (org.gnome.Strata), and image thumbnail support.
• GNOME Shell extension (strata@edu4rdshl.dev) with popup panel, lazy-loaded pagination, full-text search, image thumbnails, and paste-back.
• Preferences window (Adwaita) for history size, size limits, keyboard shortcut, panel position/width, and excluded-app list.
• Daemon lifecycle management: extension detects an existing systemd-managed daemon and falls back to spawning from PATH; shows a desktop notification when the binary is not found.
• contrib/systemd/strata-daemon.service for distribution packaging.
• Makefile with install-daemon, install, and pack targets.
