This build is a test build, it changes two core Sandboxie mechanics.

  1. It reworks the hooking mechanism to enable proper unhooking on dll unload which should solve various compatibility issues
  2. It lets Sandboxie to use custom logon tokens instead of the anonymous one, the option is on by default in the test build and can be controlled with the "SandboxieLogon" setting

EDIT: there was an issue with the Plus builds v1.2.0, so they were rebuilt and re-uploaded, but due to lack of time they were not signed: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/sandboxie-plus-v1-2-0.445783/#post-3090370

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

ChangeLog

Added

  • Reenginiered "SandboxieLogon=y" and set it on by default, now every sandbox gets its own SID
    -- Note: this enforces the isolation of individual sandboxes from each other.

Changed

  • reworked hook management, now unloaded dll's are properly unhooked #1243
  • box order is now stored in the plus ini
  • improved dpi scaling behavioure

Known Issue

- OpenKeyPath settings do not work between v1.1.1 and v1.1.3: #2006 #1276 (comment)

This release changes how sandboxie marks deleted host files as deleted, instead of creating dummy entries it uses an internal data structure to keep the stat of changes to the host file system. With the new mechanics it is possible to rename folders and keys properly.
This new behavior needs to be enabled by specifying UseFileDeleteV2=y sand UseRegDeleteV2=y in later builds this will be enabled by default, hence please test this build and report back if there are any issues.

This build also adds a new UI functionality, sandman.exe now monitors the size of sandboxes and reports it in the info column, this functionality needs to be enabled in the global settings.

Last but not least this build reduces the cpu usage of sandman.exe a lot.

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