v 3.6.7

v3.6.7 fixes an issue that appeared in v3.6.5:
- Sometimes dragging a file from Yoink to apps other than the Finder would fail

Yoink v3.6.5 brings the following new features and improvements:
New Features:
- Clipboard History is back on macOS 11 Big Sur and newer
- - A brand new widget that lets you re-copy previously copied items (click on the item in the widget)
- - Send a copied item to the Yoink shelf (option(⌥)-click it in the widget)
- - Pin copied items so they don't disappear (shift(⇧)-click onto the item in the widget)
- - Reveal an item in Yoink's new clipboard browser (command(⌘)-click it in the widget)

- A clipboard history browser that lets you organize your previous copies

- A Siri Shortcut for bringing back previously removed files

Improvements:
- Pasting links copied from Yoink now works better in text fields that are very strict about what they accept
- Now defaults to PNG data instead of TIFF when pasting images from the clipboard into Yoink
- Yoink now also provides JPEG and PNG data for image files that are HEIC, HEIF or TIFF to broaden compatibility
- Improves compatibility with DEVONthink, where, instead of a move-operation for files that were dragged from DEVONthink to Yoink, a copy-operation is now used to provide better data-integrity in DEVONthink's files database
- Improves opening .webloc, .mailtoloc, ..., files with their default apps
- The clipboard history menu in Yoink's contextual menu is now subtitled to provide more info
- Improves the filenames for URLs dragged to Yoink

Bug fixes:
- Fixes a bug that caused Yoink to jump to the screen the Dock is invoked on
- Fixes a bug in the "Add to Yoink" Siri Shortcut, where Yoink wouldn't come to the foreground if it was hidden before
- Fixes a layout issue that caused the splash screen's text to be cut off on smaller screens (again)
- Improves memory and resource usage
- Fixes a bug that caused an executable file to refuse to launch after having been copied with Yoink's clipboard history active, or after having been dragged to Yoink (a sandboxing issue)
- Fixes a bug that would sometimes cause items in the clipboard history to disappear after a restart of Yoink
- Fixes a rare crash in the splash screen
- Fixes an issue where sometimes dragging a stack of files to certain apps, the receiving app would only accept one file
- Fixes the file number indicator when dragging multiple files or stacks

This version of Yoink increases the minimum system requirements from macOS 10.10 Yosemite to macOS 10.12 Sierra.
