Release notes for Greenshot 1.3.277 unstable

Greenshot 1.3 is the first Greenshot which targets .NET 4.7.2 which just by doing to solves some general issues in the area of Internet Explorer capturing, TLS communication and some other minor issues.

We've also added some new Windows 10 functions, like notifications, OCR and sharing with Windows 10 apps.

Supported platforms:

As always Greenshot comes "as-is" with no guarantee whatsoever, supplying free software doesn't make it possible to go beyond that.
Due to the amount of work involved in testing Greenshot on different platforms, and needing hardware to do so, we cannot support all of them. What does this mean?

• Windows 11 - Greenshot should work without big issues. We expect to upgrade our primary development systems towards it some time after release, and have a better support soon.
• Windows 10 "current" - We develop & test Greenshot on the latest available version of Windows 10, which means you can pretty much assume it works on there and if not we can work on it.
• Windows 10 "previous" - We don't have the hardware to have all supported Windows versions side-by-side, we try to keep the compatibility high. If there are very Windows specific bugs, we can look at it. In general we add new Windows features with a check for the version, preventing issues with older versions.
• Windows 10 insiders - If someone is on an insider, and wants to use Greenshot, there is no guarantee. But please do report issues, and make sure you mention the build you are on. As insiders are the next "current", we will try to look at this.
• Windows 7 - this is no longer supported by Microsoft, and we will not buy extended support licenses for older Windows, we rather motivate people to upgrade to a normal supported version. It should still work on Windows 7, but we can't guarantee this and functionality will be degraded compared to that on Windows 10.
• Windows 8(.1) - Greenshot 1.2 mostly worked on it, thus we assume 1.3 will do so too, but we can no longer support this.
• Windows Server version XYZ- We do not have the hardware nor licenses to test on this, do so at your own risk. You can report issues, but we cannot support specific Windows Server issues, unless someone wants to pay for the time, hardware & licenses.
• Linux via Wine or CrossOver - Although we made some small changes to Greenshot to get basics working, it's not supported and to be honest it's a lot of work to get it running, and the result is very disappointed. We are looking towards a more platform independend Greenshot, but this will take time and doesn't have our priority.
• MacOS - We have a version of Greenshot for MacOS in the appstore here.

Support for other software?

We have many request, mainly from companies in form of "we use an eMail client from this company, and have a tool which does this cool thing, can you support this?" This depends, if it's something which benefits the masses, we can look at it. An example is PowerToys, where we interact with the maintainers to see how we can make Greenshot work together and not have PowerToys break us. We can't support all, and we cannot buy licenses & install every product.

Let us see the changes:

New features

• The editor now has a zoom. Build by our awesome community member @KillyMXI PR #201
• Windows 10 has out of the box OCR support, this can now be used from Greenshot. We added functionality which is on par with that we provided via an old Microsoft component called "MODI". To reduce our maintenance, we removed the old functionality. This is the first step with Windows 10 OCR, we have some great plans with this.
• Greenshot can now use the Windows 10 app sharing, share screenshots with app which support bitmaps.
• Greenshot now can use the Windows 10 notifications system, which looks better. We will add more user friendly functionality for this later.
• FEATURE-1110: Making it possible to use a hotkey to open the clipboard, for details look at the issue.
• FEATURE-1125: Add shortcuts (0-9, +/-) for foreground color, background color, line thickness, bold and shadow (#338)
• #249 (#388): Added the ability to crop an image vertically and horizontally. Build by our awesome community member @Christian-Schulz

General improvements:

• Improved the about and error details with better version information, and OS name.
• Upgraded the .NET Framework dependency to 4.7.2, any lower version would cause a lot of additional work and make the installer even bigger.
• Used more recent versions of software components, which brings better/more functionality and make it easier to find bugs.
• DPI improvements, so people have less issues using Greenshot with high DPI screens.
• Made the selection boxes (grippers) bigger and resize with the DPI settings
• Update check should have less impact with us and for the user
• PR #224, #230: Added Italian to the installer, a lof of PR's from @bovirus
• PR #216: Added support to generate random characters in the filename
• Changed the cloud services Box, DropBox and Imgur to use the default browser in combination with getgreenshot.org instead of the embedded, solving incompatibility issues.
• #348, BUG-2892 and more: Improved clipboard stability
• #314: Added additional tray-icon click actions which support additional functionality with one click. (no setting UI yet)
• FEATURE-1196: Selects a color with double click to close color dialog (thanks to @EricCogen)
• #385/#384: Added support for more file formats, read more about it here

Known issues

• Bug #283: Drawing Unicode icons (emoticons) in the editor, this is an generic Windows issue with the technology we currently use.
• Bug #326: Rounded corners of Windows 11 windows should be transparent

Due to the amount of work involved in testing Greenshot on different platforms, and needing hardware to do so, we cannot support all of them. What does this mean?

• Windows 11 - Greenshot should work without big issues. We expect to upgrade our primary development systems towards it some time after release, and have a better support soon.
• Windows 10 "current" - We develop & test Greenshot on the latest available version of Windows 10, which means you can pretty much assume it works on there and if not we can work on it.
• Windows 10 "previous" - We don't have the hardware to have all supported Windows versions side-by-side, we try to keep the compatibility high. If there are very Windows specific bugs, we can look at it. In general we add new Windows features with a check for the version, preventing issues with older versions.
• Windows 10 insiders - If someone is on an insider, and wants to use Greenshot, there is no guarantee. But please do report issues, and make sure you mention the build you are on. As insiders are the next "current", we will try to look at this.
• Windows 7 - this is no longer supported by Microsoft, and we will not buy extended support licenses for older Windows, we rather motivate people to upgrade to a normal supported version. It should still work on Windows 7, but we can't guarantee this and functionality will be degraded compared to that on Windows 10.
• Windows 8(.1) - Greenshot 1.2 mostly worked on it, thus we assume 1.3 will do so too, but we can no longer support this.
• Windows Server version XYZ- We do not have the hardware nor licenses to test on this, do so at your own risk. You can report issues, but we cannot support specific Windows Server issues, unless someone wants to pay for the time, hardware & licenses.
• Linux via Wine or CrossOver - Although we made some small changes to Greenshot to get basics working, it's not supported and to be honest it's a lot of work to get it running, and the result is very disappointed. We are looking towards a more platform independend Greenshot, but this will take time and doesn't have our priority.
• MacOS - We have a version of Greenshot for MacOS in the appstore here.

Support for other software?

We have many request, mainly from companies in form of "we use an eMail client from this company, and have a tool which does this cool thing, can you support this?" This depends, if it's something which benefits the masses, we can look at it. An example is PowerToys, where we interact with the maintainers to see how we can make Greenshot work together and not have PowerToys break us. We can't support all, and we cannot buy licenses & install every product.

Let us see the changes:

New features

• The editor now has a zoom. Build by our awesome community member @KillyMXI PR #201
• Windows 10 has out of the box OCR support, this can now be used from Greenshot. We added functionality which is on par with that we provided via an old Microsoft component called "MODI". To reduce our maintenance, we removed the old functionality. This is the first step with Windows 10 OCR, we have some great plans with this.
• Greenshot can now use the Windows 10 app sharing, share screenshots with app which support bitmaps.
• Greenshot now can use the Windows 10 notifications system, which looks better. We will add more user friendly functionality for this later.
• FEATURE-1110: Making it possible to use a hotkey to open the clipboard, for details look at the issue.
• FEATURE-1125: Add shortcuts (0-9, +/-) for foreground color, background color, line thickness, bold and shadow (#338)
• #249 (#388): Added the ability to crop an image vertically and horizontally. Build by our awesome community member @Christian-Schulz

General improvements:

• Improved the about and error details with better version information, and OS name.
• Upgraded the .NET Framework dependency to 4.7.2, any lower version would cause a lot of additional work and make the installer even bigger.
• Used more recent versions of software components, which brings better/more functionality and make it easier to find bugs.
• DPI improvements, so people have less issues using Greenshot with high DPI screens.
• Made the selection boxes (grippers) bigger and resize with the DPI settings
• Update check should have less impact with us and for the user
• PR #224, #230: Added Italian to the installer, a lof of PR's from @bovirus
• PR #216: Added support to generate random characters in the filename
• Changed the cloud services Box, DropBox and Imgur to use the default browser in combination with getgreenshot.org instead of the embedded, solving incompatibility issues.
• #348, BUG-2892 and more: Improved clipboard stability
• #314: Added additional tray-icon click actions which support additional functionality with one click. (no setting UI yet)
• FEATURE-1196: Selects a color with double click to close color dialog (thanks to @EricCogen)
• #385/#384: Added support for more file formats, read more about it here

Known issues

• Bug #283: Drawing Unicode icons (emoticons) in the editor, this is an generic Windows issue with the technology we currently use.
• Bug #326: Rounded corners of Windows 11 windows should be transparent
• Greenshot will not read .greenshot files from other versions

• Windows 10 insiders - If someone is on an insider, and wants to use Greenshot, there is no guarantee. But please do report issues, and make sure you mention the build you are on. As insiders are the next "current", we will try to look at this.
• Windows 7 - this is no longer supported by Microsoft, and we will not buy extended support licenses for older Windows, we rather motivate people to upgrade to a normal supported version. It should still work on Windows 7, but we can't guarantee this and functionality will be degraded compared to that on Windows 10.
• Windows 8(.1) - Greenshot 1.2 mostly worked on it, thus we assume 1.3 will do so too, but we cannot support this.
• Windows Server version XYZ- We do not have the hardware nor licenses to test on this, do so at your own risk. You can report issues, but we cannot support specific Windows Server issues, unless someone wants to pay for the time, hardware & licenses.
• Linux via Wine or CrossOver - Although we made some small changes to Greenshot to get basics working, it's not supported and to be honest it's a lot of work to get it running, and the result is very disappointed. We are looking towards a more platform independend Greenshot, but this will take time and doesn't have our priority.
• MacOS - We have a version of Greenshot for MacOS in the appstore here.

Support for other software?

We have many request, mainly from companies in form of "we use an eMail client from this company, and have a tool which does this cool thing, can you support this?" This depends, if it's something which benefits the masses, we can look at it. An example is PowerToys, where we interact with the maintainers to see how we can make Greenshot work together and not have PowerToys break us. We can't support all, and we cannot buy licenses & install every product.

Let us see the changes:

New features

• The editor now has a zoom. Build by our awesome community member @KillyMXI PR #201
• Windows 10 has out of the box OCR support, this can now be used from Greenshot. We added functionality which is on par with that we provided via an old Microsoft component called "MODI". To reduce our maintenance, we removed the old functionality. This is the first step with Windows 10 OCR, we have some great plans with this.
• Greenshot can now use the Windows 10 app sharing, share screenshots with app which support bitmaps.
• Greenshot now can use the Windows 10 notifications system, which looks better. We will add more user friendly functionality for this later.
• FEATURE-1110: Making it possible to use a hotkey to open the clipboard, for details look at the issue.
• FEATURE-1125: Add shortcuts (0-9, +/-) for foreground color, background color, line thickness, bold and shadow (#338)
• #249 (#388): Added the ability to crop an image vertically and horizontally. Build by our awesome community member @Christian-Schulz

General improvements:

• Improved the about and error details with better version information, and OS name.
• Upgraded the .NET Framework dependency to 4.7.2, any lower version would cause a lot of additional work and make the installer even bigger.
• Used more recent versions of software components, which brings better/more functionality and make it easier to find bugs.
• DPI improvements, so people have less issues using Greenshot with high DPI screens.
• Made the selection boxes (grippers) bigger and resize with the DPI settings
• Update check should have less impact with us and for the user
• PR #224, #230: Added Italian to the installer, a lof of PR's from @bovirus
• PR #216: Added support to generate random characters in the filename
• Changed the cloud services Box, DropBox and Imgur to use the default browser in combination with getgreenshot.org instead of the embedded, solving incompatibility issues.
• #348, BUG-2892 and more: Improved clipboard stability
• #314: Added additional tray-icon click actions which support additional functionality with one click. (no setting UI yet)
• FEATURE-1196: Selects a color with double click to close color dialog (thanks to @EricCogen)
• #385/#384: Added support for more file formats, read more about it here

Known issues

• Bug #283: Drawing Unicode icons (emoticons) in the editor, this is an generic Windows issue with the technology we currently use.

Release notes for Greenshot 1.3.249 unstable

Greenshot 1.3 is the first Greenshot which targets .NET 4.7.2 which just by doing to solves some general issues in the area of Internet Explorer capturing, TLS communication and some other minor issues.

We've also added some new Windows 10 functions, like notifications, OCR and sharing with Windows 10 apps.

Supported platforms:

As always Greenshot comes "as-is" with no guarantee whatsoever, supplying free software doesn't make it possible to go beyond that.
Due to the amount of work involved in testing Greenshot on different platforms, and needing hardware to do so, we cannot support all of them. What does this mean?

• Windows 11 - Greenshot should work without big issues. We expect to upgrade our primary development systems towards it some time after release, and have a better support soon.
• Windows 10 "current" - We develop & test Greenshot on the latest available version of Windows 10, which means you can pretty much assume it works on there and if not we can work on it.
• Windows 10 "previous" - We don't have the hardware to have all supported Windows versions side-by-side, we try to keep the compatibility high. If there are very Windows specific bugs, we can look at it. In general we add new Windows features with a check for the version, preventing issues with older versions.

We are looking towards a more platform independend Greenshot, but this will take time and doesn't have our priority.
• MacOS - We have a version of Greenshot for MacOS in the appstore here.

Support for other software?

We have many request, mainly from companies in form of "we use an eMail client from this company, and have a tool which does this cool thing, can you support this?" This depends, if it's something which benefits the masses, we can look at it. An example is PowerToys, where we interact with the maintainers to see how we can make Greenshot work together and not have PowerToys break us. We can't support all, and we cannot buy licenses & install every product.

Let us see the changes:

New features

• The editor now has a zoom, completely build by our awesome community member @KillyMXI PR #201
• Windows 10 has out of the box OCR support, this can now be used from Greenshot. We added functionality which is on par with that we provided via an old Microsoft component called "MODI". To reduce our maintenance, we removed the old functionality. This is the first step with Windows 10 OCR, we have some great plans with this.
• Greenshot can now use the Windows 10 app sharing, share screenshots with app which support bitmaps.
• Greenshot now can use the Windows 10 notifications system, which looks better. We will add more user friendly functionality for this later.
• FEATURE-1110: Making it possible to use a hotkey to open the clipboard, for details look at the issue.

General improvements:

• Improved the about and error details with better version information, and OS name.
• Upgraded the .NET Framework dependency to 4.7.2, any lower version would cause a lot of additional work and make the installer even bigger.
• Used more recent versions of software components, which brings better/more functionality and make it easier to find bugs.
• DPI improvements, so people can use Greenshot with high DPI screens.
• Made the selection boxes (grippers) bigger and reize with the DPI settings
• Update check should have less impact with us and for the user
• Added Italian to the installer, a lof of PR's from @bovirus e.g. PR #224, #230
• Added support to generate random characters in the filename PR #216
• Changed the cloud services Box, DropBox and Imgur to use the default browser in combination with getgreenshot.org instead of the embedded, solving incompatibility issues.
• #314 Added additional tray-icon click actions which support additional functionality with one click. (no setting UI yet)
• FEATURE-1196: Selects a color with double click to close color dialog (thanks to @EricCogen)

Known issues

• Bug #283 Drawing Unicode icons (emoticons) in the editor, this is an generic Windows issue that there are not APIs.
• Rounded corners on Windows 11 are not yet transparent, we are looking at this.

Changes for this release:

This version is only a small improvement over Greenshot 1.2.8.12, we backported (copied)
some fixes for Imgur from Greenshot 1.2.9 (which should be available as a release in a few weeks).

As some might have noticed, we have a new website which we moved to a new hosting platform. While doing this we noticed that the Greenshot update checks are way to often causing a very heavy load, so this needed to be reduced.

There were some major issues with the authenticated (non anonymous) uploads to Imgur.
After contacting Imgur they told us that their old API was deprecated or disabled, unfortunately this was not communicated.
Although we are working hard on Greenshot 1.3, where we changed most of the Imgur code already, we can't release it.
We did see a need to fix the imgur uploads, so in this release we quickly updated the Imgur API.
This should resolve a lot of tickets that were reported to us.

Additionally our website http://getgreenshot.org is hosted by sourceforge and they seem to have a lot of stability problems.
Due to these problems a bug in the Greenshot update check manifested itself and causes Greenshot to get slow or even stop responding.
In this version we fix the bug in the update check, and we are also working on a solution for the instability with our website.
