Disclaimer Adguard for Windows is not an open source project. We use github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.
This beta release is mostly about network-level changes and overall stability. We hope some of the old bugs will be fixed with it, such as ones caused by lack of content detection and flaws in our WFP network driver. Also we would like to draw your attention to some big changes concerning localisation. Below you can find more details.
UI
[Fixed] 'About' window content is not flickering anymore #954
[Fixed] Empty strings are now removed when importing user filter #973
[Fixed] Error previously encountered while installing a userstyle #934
[Improved] Proxy name validator now recognizes domain names and not only IP addresses #931
Networking
[Improved] HTML content detection #855
Content type detection was significantly improved. This effectively means that Adguard will not interfere with those types of traffic which do not require filtering, decreasing the number of potential conflicts.
[Fixed] Web interface of TP-Link router is broken #844
Some of our users encountered problems with accessing TP-Link routers' interface with enabled Adguard. Upon investigating this issue we discovered a serious issue with WFP driver which resulted in problems with displaying some websites. As a result, we have improved communication with some specific web-servers.
[Fixed] Data is now read to end after blocking a POST request #916
Ad Blocking
[Changed] Facebook windows app added to default filtered apps list #974
[Fixed] Error previously encountered while parsing a style tag with embedded svg #977
[Fixed] Language-specific filters are now detected properly from users keyboard layouts #401
[Improved] Adguard now can process websites names in punycode when adding them to HTTPS exclusions #962
Languages & Translations
[Added] Support for complex language codes #808
We have completely reworked applications localization system. This allowed us to significantly increase number of languages we can potentially support (this mostly concerns various dialects, alternative alphabets etc.).
Install/Update
[Fixed] Blank dialog while updating from 5.10 to 6.0 #924
[Fixed] CMD window is no more shown on Adguard update #935
