📝 Release Notes

• PAC: To better utilize the geosite database and adapt to the needs of our users, we added options for direct and proxied groups. They are currently only available for modifications in gui-config.json. GUI with the feature fully supported is coming in v5.
  • Generation modes: whitelist mode and blacklist mode
    • When geositePreferDirect is false (default), PAC works in whitelist mode. Exception rules are generated from geositeDirectGroups. Unmatched domains goes through the proxy.
    • When geositePreferDirect is true, PAC works in blacklist mode. Blocking rules are generated from geositeProxiedGroups. Exception rules are generated from geositeDirectGroups. Unmatched domains are connected to directly.
  • Domain groups: geositeDirectGroups and geositeProxiedGroups.
    • geositeDirectGroups is initialized with cn and geolocation-!cn@cn.
    • geositeProxiedGroups is initialized with geolocation-!cn.
  • The new default values make sure that:
    • When in whitelist mode, Chinese domains, including non-Chinese companies' Chinese CDNs, are connected to directly.
    • When in blacklist mode, only non-Chinese domains goes through the proxy. Chinese domains, as well as non-Chinese companies' Chinese CDNs, are connected to directly.
• WPF: This release includes a new update prompt window that shows release notes for you. We have also reimplemented ForwardProxyView, HotkeysView, OnlineConfigView in WPF. Your feedback is welcome on these new UIs.
• Fixes and improvements
  • We fixed an issue where in certain locales, the PAC generation crashes the application (#2986).
  • We have improved the stability by adding a validation of the geosite group configuration. Invalid settings will be automatically reset to default (and logged).
  • pac.txt is now automatically regenerated on version updates. You can turn it off by changing regeneratePacOnUpdate to false.
• Cleanup: Only one HttpClient instance is used throughout the lifecycle. StringEx.CS along with many other unnecessary stuff has been removed. All dependencies have been updated to the latest versions.
