What's New

Updated Microsoft.IdentityModel.Abstractions dependency to the latest version.
Added the file name to the FriendlyName field of the Hash rules that are created in the policies. Previously, the full path of the file would be there which wasn't desired according to user feedback, after that I removed the full file path, but in this version the file name is added to the FriendlyName to provide a minimum information about what each hash rule is for.
The accuracy of the policy merging has been significantly improved through updated logic and algorithms. AppControl Manager offers the most accurate and consistent App Control merging feature. It also involves rule de-duplication which is an important part of the merge process. It is many times more accurate than the built-in cmdlets based on hundreds of different tests performed.
Improved the performance of the AppControl Manager across the board.
- It now utilizes hardware features available in Instruction Set V3 to perform the tasks faster and more efficiently.
- The merge operation uses parallelization.
- Multiple applicable classes have been changed to structs for more high performance usage.
- Additional information about performance improvements in this version are available in the individual PR notes as well as comments in the code.
The size of the AppControl Manager package has been reduced.
