Release Notes
We are pleased to announce the release of version 1.15.2 / 5.70.2, introducing significant new features, improvements, and fixes to enhance your experience.
In this release, we’ve added several new features to provide more control and customization options for users. You can now set specific MAC addresses and disk serial numbers for individual sandboxes, thanks to the contributions of Yeyixiao.
Users can now open a program in multiple sandboxes simultaneously, offering greater flexibility in managing applications. Additionally, a new “Description” field has been added to sandbox settings to help organize and document your configurations. For MSI installers, we’ve introduced the default-enabled “NotifyMsiInstaller” option to provide warnings (SBIE2194) when installers require exemptions.
Other notable additions include options to hide installed programs and the system tray icon, enhanced trace logging filtering, and the ability to monitor Sandboxie messages in the Windows Event Log. By enabling “LogMessageEvents” in the global settings, all Sandboxie events can now be logged directly to the system event log for better tracking and analysis.
This version also addresses several critical issues. We resolved a problem with signing the .tmp file during installation or updates, fixed DLL unloading issues, and corrected file and folder access behavior in resource settings. Improvements have been made to eliminate deadlocks during file renaming and to fix errors when moving files or folders. Additionally, Firefox Nightly crashes caused by Sandboxie have been resolved, ensuring smoother browser compatibility.
Finally, this release includes compatibility validation with Windows build 27749. A minor change ensures that when applications are run via drag-and-drop, their parent folder is used as the working directory for better consistency.
We thank our contributors and users for their valuable feedback and ongoing support. Update now to enjoy the latest improvements and features in Sandboxie Plus!
