I fixed the install script and a bug in the settings dialog; other than that, not much!
The main difference is, is that I feel 0.4.x is stable, so it's promoted to Extras and not just Extras-devel.

I finally installed 0.4 and converted my previous files. Wow, Quick Clip gets better and better!
You know how I wanted you to have a Find function that would search all the Quick Clip files at once? Forget it! The combination of being able easily to move through the files with the taskbar Right/Left buttons and the fact that the Find box remains in place when you switch files, obviated the need altogether. Your solution is even better than searching all at once.
A couple new little wishes:
I'd prefer if Find didn't care about capitalization. As it is now, searching for "orange" will not find "Orange" and I'm not consistent in capitalization (and I suppose it also wouldn't find "orange" if it were capitalized intentionally as the first word in a sentence).
I know that Quick Clip Viewer isn't intended for editing, but I wish that I could delete within it. Sometimes I save webpage articles that come along with all the excess stuff, like links to elsewhere, that I wish I could get rid of while in QCV. Also, I have a file that I like to delete all of each time I leave it. (I use it just for reading text from webpages that don't reflow well or are hard to read for some other reason, like bad choice of background color.)
Once again, great improvements, thanks!

I know this might sound silly, but could you add a "clipboard" mode for this, where your tool acts just like the Klipper clipboard utility does in KDE3.5? That would be something that'd be more useful to me than what you have here. I can still see uses for this tool, but having the ability to have a Klipper like clipboard tool would be best.

Myself, I would like Find to be able to search for text with special characters, spaces, and optional case-sensitivity, but... Right now the searching is like 30 lines of code (most of them responsible for highlighting matched strings, etc.) and implementing a robust search tool would probably take several hundred (I'm guessing, but Leafpad's search code is larger than all of Quick Clip!).

#2, that's why I added Clear and Delete menu items in QC; specifically for those type of use-cases.

I'll think about it.

I'm just guessing, but my guess is that making the Find function capitalization-agnostic would not take much. I'm not suggesting (like you are!) optional case sensitivity (let alone special characters, etc.); I'd just like it to find all of the asked for letters, regardless of whether they are capitalized or not. ABC = aBc = abc =Abc. My uneducated guess is that there is a way that you tell tell the program that a=A and b=B. Maybe it's based on ASCII (English) lower-case letters all being the-same-number-as-its-matching-uppercase-letter-plus-32. It must be a very common little function since you can enter any assortment of caps and small letters in an email address or a URL and it is treated as if it were all lower-case.
