Changelog
Added
- added global hotkey to terminate all boxed processes (by default Ctrl+Break)
- the Run Sandboxed dialog can now be handled by the Sandman UI.
- added "AllowBoxedJobs=y" allowing boxed processes to use nested jobs on Windows 8 and later
-- note: this allows Chrome and other programs to use the job system for additional isolation - added librewolf.exe to the list of Firefox derivatives #927
- added run regedit sandboxed menu command
- added new support settings tab to Sandman UI for updates and stuff
- added code integrity verification to Sbie service and UI
- added template for Vivaldi Notes (by isaak654) #948
Changed
- Replaced the Process List used by the driver with a much faster Hash Map implementation
-- Note: this change provides an almost static system call speed of 1.2us irregardless of the running process count
-- The old list, with 100 programs running required: 4.5µs; with 200: 12µs; and with 300: 18µs per syscall
-- Note: some of the slowdown was affecting also non sandboxed applications due to how the driver handles certain callbacks - Replaced the per-process Thread List used by the driver with a much faster Hash Map implementation
- Replaced configuration section list with a hash map to improve configuration performance, and increased line limit to 100000
-- not yet enabled in production build - the presence of default box is only checked on connect
- the portable dir dialog now shows the directory #924
- when terminated boxed processes now we first try doing that by terminating the job object
- the driver now by default can terminate problematic processes without the help of the service
- box delete routine now retries up to 10 times to fix #954
- Replaced the Process List used by the service with a much faster Hash Map implementation
- Replaced the per-process Thread List used by the service with a much faster Hash Map implementation

Removed

-- it's recommended to use "OpenSamEndpoint=y" to allow for password change in windows 10
