Maccy release history 10
Reorder pinned clipboard items by dragging them in the popup.
Details
Pins gain a saved drag-and-drop order, while editing moves from Settings to a modal editor in the preview toolbar and also supports unpinned text. The branch changes stored clipboard formats, improves OCR language detection and VoiceOver feedback, and uses Swift 6 for source builds.
Also: WebArchive cleanup, title-hang recovery, and ignoring apps outside /Applications; Chrome autofill can cover the popup again.
Unreleased default-branch source at 0dd5478, after 2.7.1; macOS 14 or later. Build with a Swift 6 toolchain supporting the project's concurrency features.
