  • XML-like and Markdown bundle generation for bring-your-own-LLM workflows.
  • Privacy and security docs that explain what stays local, what users export, and where risks remain.

Improvements​

  • Initial Docusaurus documentation set for getting started, workflows, features, security, licensing, troubleshooting, and release notes.
  • Public changelog route with release history and the published macOS downloads.
  • Download page release card wired to the v0.1.0 release notes.
  • Update documentation linked to the release notes index and latest release note.

Fixes​

  • No previous public release exists for comparison.

Security notes​

  • PastePrompt is designed to build context locally and avoid source-code upload by default.
  • Secret scanning helps reduce accidental credential exposure before copy or export when enabled, but it does not guarantee that every sensitive value is detected.
  • Generated bundles can contain source code and should be treated as sensitive artifacts after copy, export, paste, sync, or upload.
  • The app does not replace manual security review and does not guarantee LLM correctness.

Known issues​

  • Only the Universal DMG is published for this release. Separate architecture-specific DMGs are not currently available.
  • macOS can still show first-launch prompts for apps downloaded from the internet. Verify the source URL and checksum before opening the app.
  • Token counts are estimates and may differ from LLM provider UI totals.
  • Secret scanner false positives and false negatives are expected.
  • Updates are manual for this release.

Upgrade notes​

This is the first release-note entry. Users installing from a previous private build should:

  1. Read the Download page.
  2. Verify the checksum for their DMG.
  3. Confirm signing/notarization status for the exact artifact.
  4. Back up important workspace, template, and exported bundle data before replacing a working release build.
  5. Contact support if license import or workspace migration fails.
