arboard/CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

3.6.0 on 2025-06-27

Added

• Add support for excluding data from clipboard history on Linux.
• arboard, in debug builds, now attempts to call out clipboard lifetime mishandling.
  • This is a debugging feature, and as such has no absolute or promised behavior.

Changed

• The background thread in the X11 backend no longer exits on every selection request failure.

Fixed

• Handled cases where using an unsupported Primary clipboard on Wayland would return the wrong error.
• Clearing the clipboard on Linux now behaves correctly when interacting with other apps on the system.
• Pasting text with an explicit locale ID on Windows now works as intended.

3.5.0 on 2025-04-01

Added

• Add file_list to the Get interface.
• Implement Get::html() for all platforms.

Changed

• Updated wl-clipboard-rs to 0.9.
• Improved windows-sys version compatibility range to support 0.52 - 0.60.
• Updated objc2 to v0.6.
• Raised MSRV to 1.71.0.

3.4.1 on 2024-12-09

Added

• Added support for excluding macOS clipboard items from history.
  • Note that macOS has no official history, so arboard's implementation uses a community standard instead.

3.4.0 on 2024-29-04

Added

• Added a wait_until method for Linux, as a superset of the existing wait functionality. This is a helper for letting an application wait without manual timeout handling.

Fixed

• Transparency in copied images now behaves better in certain Windows apps.

Changed

• Updated image to 0.25.
• Removed direct thiserror dependency.
• Fixed Linux documentation links
• Raised MSRV to 1.67.1
• Reverted timeout behavior of Clipboard::new() on platforms using X11. Applications are encouraged to wrap constructor calls in their own thread/channel timeout mechanisms instead to make sure the behavior matches each usecase.
• Migrated away from objc to the objc2 ecosystem for the Apple clipboard implementation.

3.3.2 on 2024-12-02

Fixed

• Fixed compilation on Windows when using the image-data feature combined with older Rust compilers.

3.3.1 on 2024-12-02

Changed

• Updated Windows clipboard and migrated from winapi to windows-sys.
• Internally migrated to Rust 2021 edition.
• Significantly improved the crate's error documentation.
• Updated core-graphics to 0.23
• Updated x11rb to 0.13

3.3.0 on 2023-20-11

Added

• Add support for ExcludeClipboardContentFromMonitorProcessing on Windows platforms.

Changed

• Improved timeout error messaging.
• Update wl-clipboard-rs to 0.8.
• Update x11rb to 0.12.
• arboard's MSRV is now 1.61.

3.2.1 on 2023-29-08

Fixed

• Removed all leaks from the macOS clipboard code. Previously, both the get and set methods leaked data.
• Fixed documentation examples so that they compile on Linux.
• Removed extra whitespace macOS's HTML copying template. This caused unexpected behavior in some apps.

Changed

• Added a timeout when connecting to the X11 server on UNIX platforms. In situations where the X11 socket is present but unusable, the clipboard initialization will no longer hang indefinitely.
• Removed macOS-specific dependency on the once_cell crate.

3.2.0 on 2022-04-11

Changed

• The Windows clipboard now behaves consistently with the other platform implementations again.
• Significantly improve cross-platform documentation of Clipboard.
• Remove lingering uses of the dbg! macro in the Wayland backend.

3.1.1 on 2022-17-10

Added

• Implemented the ability to set HTML on the clipboard

Changed

• Updated minimum clipboard-win version to 4.4.
• Updated wl-clipboard-rs to the version 0.7.

3.1.0 on 2022-20-09

Changed

• Updated image to the version 0.24.
• Lowered Wayland clipboard initialization log level.

3.0.0 on 2022-19-09

Added

• Support for clearing the clipboard.
• Spport for excluding Windows clipboard data from cliboard history and OneDrive.
• Support waiting for another process to read clipboard data before returning from a write call to a X11 and Wayland or clipboard

Changed

• Updated wl-clipboard-rs to the version 0.6.
• Updated x11rb to the version 0.10.
• Cleaned up spelling in documentation
• (Breaking) Functions that used to accept String now take Into<Cow<'a>, str> instead. This avoids cloning the string more times then necessary on platforms that can.
• (Breaking) Error is now marked as #[non_exhaustive].
• (Breaking) Removed all platform specific modules and clipboard structures from the public API. If you were using these directly, the recommended replacement is using arboard::Clipboard and the new platform-specific extension traits instead.
• (Breaking) On Windows, the clipboard is now opened once per call to Clipboard::new() instead of on each operation. This means that instances of Clipboard should be dropped once you're performed the needed operations to prevent other applications from working with it afterwards.
