What is new in ClipSync 3.0.0
# Changelog ## v3.0.0 ### Major Features & Architectural Changes * **Dual Sync Modes (Local LAN/BLE & Cloud)**: Shifted the core architecture to prioritize completely offline, local transfers using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Local Area Network (LAN). The legacy Firebase Cloud Sync has been fully retained as an alternative. Users can now seamlessly toggle between two distinct sync options tailored for maximum privacy/speed (Local) or global connectivity (Cloud). * **macOS**: Leverages Apple's `Network.framework` (`NWListener`) and Bonjour/mDNS (`NWListener.Service`) to advertise the sync service on the local subnet. * **Android**: Binds a raw `ServerSocket` to an ephemeral port via `AndroidTcpReceiver` for high-throughput TCP socket connections, handling large file transfers securely without external servers. * **Cross-Device Image Sync**: Upgraded the clipboard pipeline to seamlessly serialize and synchronize rich media (images) alongside standard text and OTPs. * **Dedicated Mode: Ultra-Fast Transfer**: Introduced a dedicated mode designed for maximum throughput. It bypasses JVM boundaries on Android and actively strips AES-256 encryption on macOS to match or exceed AirDrop speeds for large file transfers. > [!CAUTION] …
