This is to announce the release 0.8 of gclip-select. gclip-select is a small program (GNU GPL3+) that allows you to re-select from the text lines that were selected at one time or another as the X Primary Selection. This is useful when, in X Windows, if you have selected something using the left mouse button (as in the convention of the X Windows System) and you later select something else but want to get back to the earlier selection.
Thus this program allows you to quickly switch between frequently copied texts for pasting. When you select some text you will notice gclip-select window adds the newly selected text to the list. And you can choose any earlier selection in the list window to make it the X11 primary selection again; you can then paste it using the middle mouse button. This program is written in guile and requires gtk+3.0, glib 2.8 (or above) and GNU G-Golf and GObject-inspection 0.72 (or above). For details, see the README file.
