New Update Sandboxie-Plus v1.4.0, v1.4.1, 1.4.2 Pre-release - Test Build

[bjm_]

Sandboxie-Plus v1.4.0 Pre-release - Test Build
https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/releases/tag/v1.4.0

This is a unsigned test build (that is the driver is signed but not the installers), it improves the SandMan UI a lot and adds various new UX oriented features, it also makes the sandman code base Qt6 compatible, that said, the build currently uses still Qt5, a switch to Qt6 is planned for later. With regard to Qt6's no longer present windows 7 support, this won't be an issue as a custom build of Qt6's base components will be used which are windows 7 compatible.

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.

For users of Sandboxie, David is considering adding telemetry to the product.

I highly suggest reading David’s posts in these two threads to understand why.

Compatybility Telemetry Yes, No, Meybe?

The hardened sandbox types still have often compatibility issues with various software, here it would be mighty helpful to collect data on which...

Well, just letting anyone know, I just updated Firebox (no, not a typo ) to v.106. As several advanced users had already observed, v. 106 does not work well boxed, with either 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 (latest). Specifically: video content--here YouTube--it buffers and/or Firefox abruptly closes and a box opens to invite me to submit a crash report to Mozilla. You may see the below errors displayed on the Sandman UI.

For now, I've removed Sandman and will wait for the next build. So, if you're experiencing these issues for yourself, it's likely Sandman. So far, Firefox 106 is working very well on its own.



Edit: installed my Windows 11 drive to check this--still not usable. The videos play but if you go out of the browser and try to re-open it, Firefox crashes and you get the Mozilla report box. Have removed Sandboxie for now.

DavidXanatos:
OK problem solved, seams that the token firefox gave to its worker process in sandboxie was missing privileges to access \KnownDll32\oleaut32.dll which caused this dll to not being able to load resulting in the worker process crashing.
The better fix will be included in build 1.5.1
