Cache Vault — Changelog

v0.1.4 Current

Public distribution release

Multi-select clips — Ctrl+click toggles individual clips and Shift+click selects a contiguous range in both the card list and the metadata grid. The selection action strip switches to bulk mode (Copy All, Export Proof, Move Safe, Remove) when more than one clip is selected; the Delete and Ctrl+C shortcuts act on the whole selection too.
Version visibility — the Settings dialog now shows the running version/build in its footer and has an About button; the About dialog shows the version line as well.
Command Center hardening — safety guards, action dispatcher reliability, and hotkey registration stability improvements.
Public download path — landing page and all public surfaces now point to a public distribution repo; unauthenticated download returns 200.

Quick Paste — the picker now stays open after copy-style choices (e.g. Ctrl+Enter) so several clips can be grabbed in a row; it still closes when it auto-pastes into another app.

CI stabilization — Tk headless skip guards hardened for the windows-2025-vs2026 GitHub Actions runner; test (3.11), test (3.12), and test (3.13) all green.

Tag: v0.1.3-founder-mvp.2 · Hotfix for Vault Macros, Quick Paste screenshots, and clipboard reliability

Vault Macros setup — fixed Macro Template Picker crash (TclError on focus) during setup.
Vault Macros Run — withdraws Cache Vault briefly so keystrokes reach the target window; clipboard-only success when no target is focused.
Save to Vault Macros — preview panel and toolbar path to save clips as macros; auto minimal setup when wizard is incomplete.
Quick Paste screenshots — image copy sets CF_DIB + PNG for broad app compatibility; copy deferred after Quick Paste closes (no grab conflict).
Quick Paste UX — branded Copy Image to Clipboard action; screenshots copy to clipboard only (no auto-paste).

Tag: v0.1.3-founder-mvp.1 · Founder screen discoverability and license import reachability

Pinned ◆ Founder above collapsible sidebar groups so the Founder screen remains visible even when sidebar sections are collapsed.
Added Settings → Import License… so license import remains reachable even if sidebar groups are collapsed.
Added an explicit packaging gate to fail release packaging if cache_vault.ui.founder is missing from the packaged executable.
Added cache_vault.ui.founder to PyInstaller hidden imports.

The previous Founder MVP package included the Founder code, license system, and feature gates, but the Founder page could be hidden when the ACCESS sidebar section was collapsed. That made the paid unlock flow hard to discover.
