Change log?

Beta 6, v.0.9.15.416

Apparently the changelog is inside the installer. Kind of a stupid click-bait answer from MBAM support.

From the installer:

Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware (BETA) 0.9.15

Known Issue:
• If installing the upgrade on Windows 8.1 x64 over a previous Beta, the service may not start automatically. In this case, simply click Start Protection on the Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware dashboard or run the Beta installer a second time.

Improvements:
• Further refinements to internal rules to reduce potential for false positives
• Refactored processing to reduce memory consumption and prevent system hangs
• Added ability to update internal rules dynamically without requiring a full program update so new detections and fixes for false positives can be deployed much more rapidly
• Changed log collection to happen asynchronously

Issues Fixed:
• Notification that a new version is available no longer auto-dismisses
• Fixed issue where an Exclusion may not have been honored properly in some cases
• Fixed issue where the protection status was not remembered correctly after a program update

It is still in Beta, waiting for the stable release before trying this, especially after seeing " More fun with ransomware 2" video Should be moved to the suitable forum.

MBARW may incorporate a little concept like in WAR (WinAntiRansom), since the component from now rely on the possible known signatures that can be bypass anytime; especially that ransomware are pretty clever nowadays.

It was more intended for Cruelsis, and the testers, I left the Beta 6 in brackets in the title so it was more noticeable.
** Malwarebytes Devs do not recommend this release be installed on production machines. PeAcE
