Release Notes$$$[1.15.6 / 5.70.6] - 2025-02-03$$$This update introduces improvements to stability; compatibility; and debugging tools; addressing several reported issues affecting various applications and sandbox configurations.$$$$$$This release also includes a rework of CreateDesktop handling; which addresses various issues encountered with browsers and browser-based applications when running within Sandboxie. These changes should result in improved stability and functionality for affected software. Furthermore; a missing hook for NtQueryInformationByName has been implemented to enhance overall system compatibility.$$$$$$Several bugs have been resolved in this update. An issue where the Sandboxie Plus data folder was not functioning correctly after updating to version 1.15.5 has been fixed. Additionally; crashes affecting Adobe Acrobat Reader when used within an Application Compartment box have been resolved.$$$$$$Compatibility issues with Viber have also been fixed; ensuring that the software no longer crashes upon launch within Sandboxie. Users of qutebrowser will benefit from a fix that now allows the browser to run properly in a sandboxed environment. A problem preventing applications from launching when ApiTrace was enabled in version 1.15.5 has also been resolved. Lastly; a critical fix has been implemented to prevent blue screen errors (BSoD) when using OpenWndStation=y on Windows 10 with applications that call CreateDesktopW/A.$$$$$$This release provides key stability and usability improvements for Sandboxie Plus; ensuring better compatibility across a range of applications.$$$$$$Change Log$$$Added$$$added generic troubleshooting script for SBIE2224: Sandboxed program has crashed$$$provides a workaround for Viber (Viber)$$$added debug option DropChildProcessToken=program;y to not set a child process token useful to debug green boxes$$$added missing hook to NtQueryInformationByName$$$Changed$$$reworked CreateDesktop handling to fix issues with browsers and browser-based applications$$$Fixed$$$fixed Sandboxie Plus data folder not always working properly after updating to version 1.15.5$$$fixed a too long held lock in the troubleshooting engine$$$fixed Adobe Acrobat Reader crashes in Application Compartment box #4363$$$fixed The Viber software has been updated; but when opened using the sandboxie program; the system program always crashes #4298$$$fixed Cannot run qutebrowser in Sandboxie #4419$$$fixed Unable to launch application in sandbox with ApiTrace enabled in version 1.15.5 #4488$$$fixed BSoD when using OpenWndStation=y on Windows 10 with apps that call CreateDesktopW/A
