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.
In this beta version, we mainly concentrated on the UI changes, as we go on with tweaking the Filtering Log interface. A couple of other notable tasks here as well, for example, the addition of a complete 'Exit Adguard' functionality.
[Improved] A complete "Exit Adguard" functionality was added #1509
Now users have a choice between closing Adguard as they usually do, and closing it completely. That means closing the Windows service as well as UI, and when UI is getting started again, the service will start as well (you may be asked for the admin privileges, though).
Ad Blocking
[Fixed] Notification API isn't blocked properly #1706
[Fixed] $replace rules are applied to HTTPS sites even when HTTPS filtering is disabled #1752
UI
[Changed] Multiple Filtering Log UI changes #1750
We continue to hone the Filtering Log UI to make it as convenient for you to use, as possible. We thank everyone from Adguard forums who contributed to the discussion for their feedback.
