Changelog
Every release, every notable change — newest first. This page is updated each time a new version ships to the Chrome Web Store.
v0.13.16latestAugust 2026
- improvedThe interface now follows your browser language automatically — the manual language switcher in the popup has been removed. Change your browser language and the whole extension (popup, editor, capture hints) switches instantly.
v0.13.15August 2026
- improvedZoom + circle rebuilt: the magnifier now grabs the elliptical region you circled, magnified edge-to-edge with no white backdrop — text is fully visible and centered, on small elements too.
- fixCircles and rectangles snapped to an element now wrap the actual content inside it (left-aligned text no longer leaves the shape off-center), and the hover preview matches the final result.
v0.13.14August 2026
- fixAuto-copy to the clipboard works again — a performance tweak had silently cancelled the scheduled copy after drawing a shape.
- improvedDragging annotations is smoother: the editor no longer re-encodes the PNG mid-drag and skips redundant per-frame work while you move elements.
- improvedZoom + rectangle / circle callouts now anchor on the actual content: on very wide or tall elements whose content sits in one corner, the magnifier card appears right over the content instead of drifting to the element edge.
- fixMoving a text annotation no longer flickers (it used to blink out for an instant before the drag started).
- improvedAfter typing text, the first click outside now confirms the text instead of immediately opening a new text box; click again to start a new one.
v0.13.13August 2026
- newDirect manipulation: with any tool active, click an existing annotation to select it, drag it to move, grab a handle to resize — no more switching to Select first.
- newClick any text annotation (any tool) to edit it in place — the original position and style are preserved; drag it to move instead.
- newA copy status chip next to the Download button shows whether the latest image is already on your clipboard, with a Copy button when auto-copy failed (e.g. after Alt+Tab).
- improvedZoom cards are tighter: a slimmer border (2px), a hairline inner margin whose corners now follow the card corner-radius setting, and ellipse + zoom follows the selected shape with the same border and spacing as the rectangle combo.
- fixNo more stray preview lines while dragging annotations, and clicking the Text tool button no longer opens a text box in a random spot — click the canvas first, then type.
v0.13.12August 2026
- improvedMagnify now leaves comfortable padding around the zoomed element, so text and tight elements no longer sit flush against the card edges.
- fixFramed magnify (rectangle + zoom combo): the colored border now meets the card corners exactly — fixed a tiny gap at the corners.
v0.13.11August 2026
- newFirst-time users now start with the Rectangle + Zoom combo enabled by default, plus a one-time tip that the screenshot is already on your clipboard.
- improvedClosing the editor now feels instant — the final copy runs behind a hidden overlay instead of blocking the close.
- improvedClipboard syncs faster after each edit, and the latest frame is always guaranteed to land on the clipboard.
- fixThe toolbar popup's language menu no longer stretches the popup, and long translated labels no longer wrap.
v0.13.10August 2026
- newExtension UI and website now in 6 languages — added 繁體中文, 日本語, Español, Français and Deutsch (plus English & 简体中文).
- newNew "Screenshot zoom" guide page and a public, multilingual changelog (this page).
- improvedThe toolbar-popup language switcher is now a dropdown.
v0.13.9August 2026
- improvedZoom settings: adjustable card corner radius and a dim-background mode that darkens everything outside the zoom so the magnified detail stands out.
- newRectangle + zoom combo — one click produces a bordered magnifier (zoom + coloured frame as a single annotation).
- newNumbered-marker and stamp opacity control.
- improvedRedesigned settings panel grouping line style, mosaic, dim and zoom options.
- fixHigh-DPI capture no longer triggers the Chrome debugger banner (interpolation upscale instead).
v0.13.0July 2026
- newIn-place zoom callouts with automatic empty-margin trimming.
- newBilingual UI — English and Simplified Chinese, with in-popup language switching.
- improvedAuto-copy to clipboard on editor close.
v0.12.0May 2026
- newMulti-format export — PNG, JPG and PDF.
- newText extraction from the live DOM (exact text, not OCR) copied to clipboard.
- newMosaic redaction: pixel, blur and black-bar modes.
v0.10.0early 2026
- newIn-page editor overlay — annotate without leaving the page or opening a new tab.
- newDOM element snapping: hover an element, click for a perfectly fitted shape.
- newOrigin validation hardening for the editor iframe.
v0.1.02024
- newFirst release: capture visible area, rectangle / ellipse / arrow / line / text annotations, keyboard shortcuts.
The project began as a personal tool for writing cleaner bug reports. Earlier interim releases predate this changelog page.
