Highlights 🌟

• 🔄 Faster, more reliable reconnection
  This release focuses on the connection between your devices. When you
  switch Wi-Fi networks, your network address changes, or your computer
  wakes from sleep, CrossPaste now rediscovers your other devices and
  reconnects much faster — no more being stuck "offline" for a long
  time. Even when a device's IP address changes, it reconnects reliably
  (#4506 #4510 #4515 #4519 #4521 #4527 #4529).

• 🆕 In-app changelog and upgrade reminder
  You can now see what each update brings right inside the app. When a
  new version is available, a small dot appears in the left menu to
  remind you to upgrade (#4525).

• ⬆️ Windows (portable zip): update from within the app
  The Windows portable (zip) build can now update itself. When a new
  version is available, CrossPaste downloads and verifies it, then swaps
  in the new build and restarts — no more manually downloading and
  extracting a fresh zip (#4537).

• 🖱️ Fixed an endless paste loop
  Fixed an issue where pressing Cmd/Ctrl+V could trigger an endless
  paste loop in some situations. Pasting is now more reliable (#4501
  #4502).

• ✨ Smoother device list
  The device list no longer flickers while re-checking offline devices,
  so it stays steady (#4508).
