Greenshot 1.3.315

Good update to install, especially because it includes a security fix.

From the release notes you posted, version 1.3.315 includes:

  • A fix for security advisory GHSA-f8v9-7fph-fr2j
  • General stability fixes for the 1.3 branch
  • Improvements meant to reduce leftover issues from problematic installations

That means this is not just a routine maintenance release. If someone is already using Greenshot 1.3.x, updating to 1.3.315 is the sensible step.

Practical takeaway

  • If you use Greenshot regularly, update to 1.3.315
  • If you had installer or upgrade issues before, this build may help with cleanup-related problems
  • For anyone cautious about the security aspect, the official GitHub release page and the Greenshot site are the right sources to follow
