• Snipaste may crash when detecting UI elements
• The color dialogs are not translated
• Press Alt and move the cursor across several image windows, some magnifiers do not hide themselves correctly
• The option "Use snipping position" does not affect the "Paste to screen" button (or Ctrl+W)

Improved:

• When the color value is copied from an image window, flash the magnifier to indicate the copy is done
• The option “Ignore Win when snipping” will only affect the single press of Win. Combined keys with Win (e.g. Win+Space) will not be affected
• You can now choose different image formats from the save file dialog
• Add a border (of your theme color) for the hotkey editor
• Add an obvious hint of how to delete the current hotkey
• Change the default global hotkeys (e.g. 'Paste' is now F3 instead of F2)
  • It will only affect new users. Existing users will not lose your own settings.
• User arrow keys (instead of WASD) to move the image window, in order to be consistent with the behavior of snipping area control
• Use the same color board as mspaint's
