magpie 0.6.6

What's new in 0.6.6

• Clipboard history kept the CPU busy (#22, #23). With the history on, magpie read the whole clipboard every second to see whether it had changed; with a picture on it, it decoded the picture each second. On Windows that was about 5% of one core with a 4K picture on the clipboard, and it showed up on a Mac as 0.3–5% while idle. magpie now asks the system whether the clipboard changed (Windows and macOS keep a counter) and reads it only then: the same test now costs well under 0.2% of a core. Linux has no such counter and reads every second, as before.
• When a copy put both text and a picture on the clipboard (a range of cells, say), the history recorded the two in turn every second. It now keeps the text, once.
