This build improves the user experience by providing a new Box creation wizard and improving on the box picker dialog.
It is now possible to create a new sandbox from the run sandboxes dialog and if need be set it as temporary, so that it gets removed after the program terminates. The box picker dialog was improved and contains now a search function to be accessed with Ctrl+F.
The boxes now created use by default the Delete V2 scheme in case you experience any issues with new boxes, this can be changed back in the box options to the old Delete V1, no old boxes will be migrated to Delete V2.
The sandbox options have been restructured and the new layout is used by default, in the global settings under the appearance options it is possible to switch back to the old layout.
To improve on security the SandMan UI now indicates which processes have an administrative and which a system token.
Last but not least this build fixes a lot of issues, please see Changelog for more details.

You can support the project through donations, any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you have issues with an update installation, just uninstall the previous version keeping the sandboxie.ini and reinstall the new build.

This build enables shadow stack for the SbieDll.dll improving on security on systems with gen11 Intel and Ryzen 5000 AMD CPUs.
As this required a change in the entry-point hooking scheme, compatibility should be thoroughly tested.
Further more a couple missing hooks have been added to improve on compatibility.
This build restructures the Box options a bit and adds a hole new page allowing to control the file migration behavior as well as adding a couple SBIE messages to indicate file migration operations which may cause compatibility issues.
Last but not least with this build it is possible to define file checker triggers to for example invoke a script to run a virus scan on a file before it is allowed to be recovered.

Note: as this is a pre-release the installers are not signed, only the driver is.

    grafik

On the "Support Tab" in the "Global Options" the user can now choose from the following release channels:

grafik

  1. Stable - GitHub Releases
  2. Preview - GitHub Pre-Releases

There the user can also select how to behave when a "New Version" (where an installer is available) or a "Version Update" (where only individual files of the existing installation will be updated) is found.
For a "New Version" the following options are available: Notify, Download & Notify, Download & Install
For a "Version Update" the following options are available: Ignore, Notify, Download & Notify, Download & Install
There is no "Ignore" option for "New Version" as that is covered by disabling check for updates.

In the "Stable" channel check for "Version Update" is only available to supporters with a valid certificate. In this channel all updates are signed and consists of the latest compatibility templates and urgent bug-fixes and translations.

In the "Preview" channel the "Version Update" consist of unsigned test builds (except the signed driver) released every few days (like for example 1.6.0,1.6.1a and 1.6.1b) as here the updates contain not only half tested fixes but also new functionality which may not yet be free of bugs.

Furthermore installers have been updated with the ability to download the latest Templates.ini and translations when installing.
