[harlan4096]

Release v0.8.5 / 5.50.5

Changelog

Added

• added global hotkey to terminate all boxed processes (by default Ctrl+Break)
  
• the Run Sandboxed dialog can now be handled by the Sandman UI.
  
• added "AllowBoxedJobs=y" allowing boxed processes to use nested jobs on Windows 8 and later
  -- note: this allows Chrome and other programs to use the job system for additional isolation
  
• added librewolf.exe to the list of Firefox derivatives #927
  
• added run regedit sandboxed menu command
  
• added new support settings tab to Sandman UI for updates and stuff
  
• added code integrity verification to Sbie service and UI
  
• added template for Vivaldi Notes (by isaak654) #948
  

Changed

• Replaced the Process List used by the driver with a much faster Hash Map implementation
  -- Note: this change provides an almost static system call speed of 1.2us irregardless of the running process count
  -- The old list, with 100 programs running required: 4.5µs; with 200: 12µs; and with 300: 18µs per syscall
  -- Note: some of the slowdown was affecting also non sandboxed applications due to how the driver handles certain callbacks
  
• Replaced the per-process Thread List used by the driver with a much faster Hash Map implementation
  
• Replaced configuration section list with a hash map to improve configuration performance, and increased line limit to 100000
  -- not yet enabled in production build
  
• the presence of default box is only checked on connect
  
• the portable dir dialog now shows the directory #924
  
• when terminated boxed processes now we first try doing that by terminating the job object
  
• the driver now by default can terminate problematic processes without the help of the service
  
• box delete routine now retries up to 10 times to fix #954
  
• Replaced the Process List used by the service with a much faster Hash Map implementation
  
• Replaced the per-process Thread List used by the service with a much faster Hash Map implementation
