Changelog - Screencap

v1.2.4

August 17, 2026

Reduced the packaged OCR runtime from about 54 MB to about 13 MB by shipping only the LSTM assets the extension uses.
Added SIMD-aware core selection so supported browsers use the fastest compatible local OCR engine.
Warmed the OCR worker before extraction to reduce the wait after clicking OCR.
Used a mixed-layout first pass and reserved the binary fallback pass for empty or very low-confidence results.
Fixed repeated captures stacking selection overlays in the same tab.
Kept OCR local and offline. Screenshots and extracted text stay in the browser.

Added Chrome's native internationalization system with automatic UI-language detection.
Added English, Hindi, Simplified Chinese, French, German, and Spanish translation files.

Added Google sign-in to enable cloud uploads, with public viewer page for shared screenshots.
Public viewer features: fullscreen zoom, OG/Twitter social preview tags, one-click copy link.
Author-only "Edit in Screencap" bridge — reopen a shared screenshot directly in the extension editor.
New Files tab in the extension popup: search, infinite scroll, click to open shared screenshots.
Upload toggle setting — choose whether uploads auto-open in a new tab after sharing.
