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

Sandboxie Plus x64 Version 1.15.4
Release Notes$$$This update introduces significant improvements and fixes to enhance the stability and usability of the application.$$$$$$A variety of critical issues have been resolved. The ini section editor now functions correctly in dark mode; and sandbox content deletion has been fixed (#4407); thanks to bot-1450. Additionally; the Run Unsandboxed option; which was not working from the box picker window; has been repaired (#4403).$$$$$$Firefox tab crashes have been addressed when running with the ProtectHostImages=y setting enabled (#4394). While this fix improves compatibility for default installation locations; custom-installed Firefox-based browsers may still encounter crashes. To avoid this; users should manually add DontCopy= to their configuration.$$$$$$Several BSOD issues have been resolved to improve system stability:$$$$$$SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (3b) occurred when using StartRunAlertDenied=y in combination with DenyHostAccess (#4421).$$$CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED occurred when terminating all sandboxed programs (#1316). Processes are now terminated individually rather than using the job object; unless explicitly configured with TerminateJobObject=y.$$$A BSOD related to the LogMessageEvents=y setting has also been fixed which has been introduced in 1.15.2$$$Other notable fixes include enabling proper font selection in the ini editor following the addition of the ini highlighting feature (#4429).$$$$$$These updates collectively ensure a smoother; more reliable experience.$$$$$$For a full list of changes please review the change log.
Sandboxie Plus x64 Version 1.15.3
Release Notes$$$We are excited to announce the latest updates to Sandboxie Plus 1.15.3; these updates introduce impactful new features; significant improvements; and critical fixes to enhance user experience; customization; and security.$$$$$$For enhanced security; this release includes a mechanism to restrict access to sandbox folders to the user who created them. Users can also choose to retain or modify Access Control Lists (ACLs) on sandboxed files; providing more flexibility in access management; though this may introduce compatibility issues in some cases. Importantly; this update addresses a security vulnerability documented under CVE-2024-49360.$$$$$$This release also includes the introduction of a user proxy mechanism; enabling user-specific operations; along with support for the Encrypting File System (EFS). By adding the configuration EnableEFS=y to sandbox settings; users can now utilize EFS within the sandbox environment. The new OpenWPADEndpoint=y option allows access to system proxy configuration; expanding sandbox functionality. Additionally; trace logging filtering has been enhanced; and by enabling LogMessageEvents in global settings; all Sandboxie events can now be logged directly to the Windows Event Log for better tracking and analysis.$$$$$$Technical improvements in this release include refinements to the startup processes for SandboxieCrypto; ensuring smoother operations. Applications launched via drag-and-drop now consistently use their parent folder as the working directory; improving user experience. Compatibility with Windows build 27749 has been validated to ensure a seamless experience for users. Additionally; crashes affecting Firefox Nightly have been resolved; ensuring better browser compatibility.$$$$$$We thank our contributors and users for their invaluable feedback and support. Update now to take advantage of the latest features; enhancements; and security improvements in Sandboxie Plus.$$$$$$For a full list of changes please review the change log.
