Release v1.6.0 / 5.61.0
This build fixes a few issues and introduces a new update mechanism which allows to update individual files.
On the "Support Tab" in the "Global Options" the user can now choose from 3 release channels:
- Stable - GitHub Releases
- Preview - GitHub Pre-Releases
- Live - Test builds before they are mature enough to be a Pre-Release
There the user can also select how to behave when a "Full Update" (where an installer is available) or a "Version Revision" (where only individual files of the existing installation will be updated) is found.
The installers will offer the ability to download the latest Templates.ini and translations when installing.
The Live release channel will be available as "Version Revision" only.
[1.6.0 / 5.61.0] - 2022-11-26
Added
- added ability to import/export boxes into 7z files
- added new update mechanism allowing for incremental updates
-- used for nightly test builds in the "live" update channel
-- used to update Templates.ini and translations after installation #1105
Changed
- restructured the box context menu a bit
- SandMan translations are now compressed and located in translations.7z
Fixed
Release v1.5.3 / 5.60.3
This build fixes various issues and minor improvements.
Note: if you encounter the new message SBIE2227, the right course of action is to enable 8.3 name support for all volume on your system. Use the following command in an elevated command prompt:
fsutil behavior set disable8dot3 0
This is not a new issue, but an old forgotten one.
The message has been added to bring attention to potential problems and offer instructions how to properly resolve the issue.
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.
