What's new in version 4.5.4.5 (28.10.2015)
- Added: A confirmation dialog was added in Manage Rules when deleting a rule to
avoid accidental deletion of the rules.
- Removed: The detection of insertion of USB drives was removed due to the errors
that may appear on some systems in Windows Reliability Monitor related to wfcs.exe.
- Improved: The Delete button was moved at the end of the list in Manage Rules to
avoid pressing it instead of the Disable button.
- Fixed: Notifications for Windows Update are not displayed in Windows 10. The
notifications system was updated to not match anymore the rules defined for a
specific Windows service.
- Fixed: The validations for the Program from Properties dialog were updated to
handle extra empty spaces that may be inserted in the path of a file.
- Fixed: The application fails to start if the system tray icon has a tooltip larger
than 64 characters. This may happen if the translation file contains large strings
which may be used for the system tray icon tooltip.
