7.18 beta 1

on GitHub

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.

The development of AdGuard v7.18 for Windows is well under way, and this beta version is the best proof. We managed to achieve quite a lot!

First things first, we updated the CoreLibs filtering engine to version 1.15. This will not only greatly reduce the amount of crashes that some users have been reporting, but will also allow to introduce two new modifiers ($xmlprune and $urltransform) that will give filter developers more tools to fight ads with.

We also updated our network drivers and made an emphasis on improving the compatibility with other network-based apps. If you had any compatibility problems before, there is a good chance you will notice the difference after the update.

You can check out the changelog to learn about other changes. There’s plenty of bug fixes and other improvements — we’ll highlight the fact that the app now launches faster after a reboot.
