New Update Sandboxie-Plus v1.18.1 / 5.73.1 Latest

[bjm_]

Release v1.18.1 / 5.73.1 Latest
Sandboxie Plus 1.18.1 introduces a number of usability improvements and important fixes focused on reliability and configuration management. SandMan now provides significantly enhanced INI setting validation and auto-completion, featuring support for disabled-setting aliases, localized descriptions, context-aware warnings, and template-specific metadata with improved tooltips, making advanced configuration easier and less error-prone. This release also adds new CopyNewer file migration rules, allowing existing files inside a sandbox to be automatically refreshed when the corresponding host file has been updated, while avoiding unintended overwrites during file creation or other write operations. Additionally, users who prefer opaque sandbox identifiers can now create sandboxes using GUIDs as box names.

This update also resolves several issues affecting day-to-day use. The incremental update mechanism has been fixed to correctly deploy newly added program files, ensuring updates are applied completely. Compatibility problems involving RunServiceAsSystem and UseSecurityMode have been addressed, including a fix for the cryptsvc service. The Chromium elevation template has been refined to use more granular service configuration for improved compatibility. Finally, multiple issues in the SOCKS5 proxy implementation have been resolved, fixing password authentication failures caused by credential decoding, locale-dependent encoding, invalid credential handling, and incomplete socket transmissions, resulting in a more robust and reliable proxy experience.

For a full list of changes please review the change log.

You can support the project through donations, any help will be greatly appreciated.
If you have issues with an update installation, just uninstall the previous version keeping the sandboxie.ini and reinstall the new build.

Sandboxie Plus 1.18.1 / 5.73.1

This release focuses on configuration reliability, file migration behavior, service compatibility, and SOCKS5 proxy fixes.

Notable changes include:

• Improved INI setting validation, auto-completion, aliases, localized descriptions, warnings, and tooltips.
• New CopyNewer migration rules for refreshing sandboxed files from newer host copies.
• Support for using GUIDs as sandbox names.
• Fixes for incremental updates not deploying newly added program files.
• Compatibility fixes for RunServiceAsSystem, UseSecurityMode, and the cryptsvc service.
• Refinements to the Chromium elevation template.
• Several SOCKS5 authentication, encoding, credential-handling, and socket-transmission fixes.

Before updating, it is prudent to back up the Sandboxie configuration and confirm that important sandbox contents are not the only copy of any files. If the installer has problems, the release notes indicate that uninstalling the previous version while retaining sandboxie.ini, followed by a reinstall, may resolve the issue.

The release notes and installer should be obtained from the official Sandboxie Plus GitHub repository.

In case anyone doesn't know, the developer of Sandboxie has started work on a Shadow Defender replacement, could be interesting to say the least.
