Release v1.15.7 / 5.70.7

[DavidXanatos]

Release Notes

In this update, several improvements and fixes have been introduced to enhance the stability and functionality of Sandboxie Plus.

A new capability has been added to the service, allowing it to log monitor events, providing users with additional insights and diagnostics.

The Notepad++ template has been updated to ensure compatibility with Sandboxie Classic, improving usability for users of the legacy version. Additionally, MiscHelpers.dll has been updated with enhancements to the finder, contributing to improved performance and reliability.

Several issues have been resolved in this release. Obsolete entries in the Sandboxie Plus installer have been removed, ensuring a cleaner installation process. An issue where pinned shortcuts created via the 'Run from Start Menu' option were non-functional has been fixed, addressing reported concerns (#4502). A potential Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) issue with the driver under low-resource conditions has been resolved, improving overall system stability.

Further refinements include fixing a crash occurring in NsiAllocateAndGetTable, thanks to a report from tzf-omkey (#4511). Additionally, two memory leaks have been addressed: one occurring when a sandboxed process received a device change notification, and another affecting the NtQueryDirectoryFile hook, which previously manifested in privacy-enhanced sandboxes (#4509).

This update ensures a more robust and efficient experience for Sandboxie Plus users. As always, feedback and reports from the community are invaluable in maintaining and improving the software.

For a full list of changes please review the change log.

Additionally, I am pleased to announce that TaskExplorer, a powerful system exploration tool first launched in 2019, has been revitalized and is now production-ready thanks to its fully signed driver. With a host of new features and enhancements, including advanced security options, expanded data columns, and improved usability, TaskExplorer is an ideal choice for both casual users and IT professionals.

Edge Version 133.0.3065.82 works fine once it starts sucesfully on Win 11 even with hardened sandbox. It just sometimes crashes or freezes at startup. This is nothing new though
