# Greenshot 1.3.290

Note: the version information for the first 1.3 release is outdated/incomplete. Due to the long timespan and large amount of changes between 1.2 and 1.3 we lost track. Sorry.

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, we are not paid enough to make this possible.
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 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 - 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.
* MacOS - We have a version of Greenshot for MacOS in the appstore [here](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/greenshot/id1103915944).

## 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](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/wiki/Application-Compatibility) 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](https://greenshot.atlassian.net/browse/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 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.

1.2.4.9-RELEASE-b4b6c6546d12

Features:
* Added the possibility to select the region to capture by using the keyboard, use the cursor keys to move the cursor (ctrl-key speeds up the movement) and the enter key to mark the start and ending.
* Added support for another clipboard format "Format17" (aka CF_DIBV5) which could improve the result of the "open image from clipboard" and drag&drop actions.
* Editor: a resize effect with settings window has been added.
* Editor: a settings window for the torn-edge effect has been added, the settings will be stored.
* Editor: a settings window for the drop shadow effect has been added, the settings will be stored.
* OneNote: Enabled and enhanced the OneNote destination, so we can test this and see if it's worth releasing.
* External command: If a command outputs an URI this will be captured and placed on the clipboard, the behaviour currently can only be modified in the greenshot.ini
* FEATURE-184, FEATURE-282, FEATURE-486: Image editor now has a speech bubble
* FEATURE-281, FEATURE-669, FEATURE-707, FEATURE-734: Image editor now has auto incrementing labels

* FEATURE-776: Improvement of the torn edge settings dialog
* FEATURE-777: Improvement of the font family settings, also changed the used font for every family making it easier to find your font.

Changes:
* Optimized Greenshots update check to use even less traffic by checking the time-stamp of the update feed before downloading it.
* JIRA: With JIRA 6.x using the SOAP (Webservice) API the access has gotten really slow, we improved the performance slightly by loading some information parallel. (In Greenshot 2.x we will move to another API.)
* Dynamic destination context-menu: If a destination has child items the parent is still selectable and executes the default export, we now no longer repeat the parent in the children.
* Dynamic destination context-menu: We are now leaving the sorting to the destination code, this allows us to e.g. show the default printer on top of the list.

Bugs Resolved:
* BUG-1559, BUG-1643: Repeating hotkeys are now prevented.
* BUG-1610: Image editor: 'Obfuscate' and 'Highlight' and more, now should rotate / resize correctly.
* BUG-1619: Image editor: Autocrop now also considers the elements.
* BUG-1620: Greenshot crashing Chrome running in 'Windows 8 Mode'
* BUG-1653: Accessibility issues: Editor "File" menu entry can't be activated and missing translations

* BUG-1686: Shadow (drop shadow or torn edge) grows if a filter (highlight etc) is used and an element is moved around
* BUG-1688: While drawing a textbox there are black vertical lines inside
* BUG-1695: Fixed an issue with processing the response from Imgur, which caused the error "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: key"
* BUG-1699: UI jumps when Textbox or SpeechBubble tools are selected, and changing to another tool. (also the other way around)
* BUG-1700: IE capture only works once
* BUG-1709: Alignment of the text and speech-bubble wasn't always correctly saved in the .greenshot file
* BUG-1710: After resizing the canvas the edges had a slightly different color (1px)

* BUG-1627: Box upload failed since 1.1.8

* BUG-1517: export to Microsoft Word always goes to the last active Word instance.
* BUG-1525, BUG-1486: Greenshot looses configuration settings. (At least we hope this is resolved)

Features:
