Changelog

- New: If the profile is set to No Filtering and the user inserts a new removable
drive, the profile is automatically reverted to the previous profile to avoid
unwanted programs to automatically connect to the network/Internet. This is a new
implementation based on the code from USBC which does not generate errors in Windows
Reliability Monitor.
- Fixed: The rules created for executable files which are located on removable drives
don't work anymore if the drive is removed and reinserted, even if the same drive
letter is assigned.
- Fixed: The vertical scrollbar from Security tab appears always even if the content
is maximized.
- Removed: The grayed out effect for the predefined group names was removed.
- Removed: The installer can't update the existing installation if the same version
is already installed. This limitation was removed and the updater can update the same
version by overwriting the existing installation. The updater still does not allow to
install an older version over a newer version.

Changelog

- Improved: The system tray application (wfc.exe) is now able to force the service (wfcs.exe) to reinitialize itself if the service encountered a problem during the start-up and was not initialized correctly. This will reduce the cases when the WFC tray icon displays the black icon stating that it cannot connect to the service.
 - Improved: Added smooth transition of the progress bar in the installation dialog.
- Fixed: The status of the system tray icon is not updated if the service is manually stopped or restarted.
- Fixed: Opened Connections Log is not automatically closed when the program is locked with a password.
- Fixed: Invalid coordinates saved in Windows Registry can lead to inability to reopen some dialogs. Observed for the "Customize and create" dialog from Connections Log.

toolbox and right click context menu.
- Fixed: The last window position and size are not restored on reopen when a different
DPI setting than the default value is used.
- Fixed: Connections Log crashes if the Security log size is increased by the user
and the processing data takes longer than 1 minute. Observed for a 200MB log size.

of a loading status.

Changelog

- Updated: If the Rules Panel is open and a new rule is created as a result of using
the Low notification level, then the data grid is automatically refreshed to see the
newly created rule.
- Updated: The automatic refresh in Connections Log which is done when a combo box
value is changed was removed. From now on, the refresh must be triggered manually.
- Fixed: If Connections Log window is closed while performing a long running task,
the service does not abort the loading. This requires additional resources while
the window was already closed and there is no need for further processing.
- Fixed: Connections Log window remains open if the service is stopped and the
window was open.
- Fixed: Notification dialog freezes in some scenarios if a program that is being
blocked tries to reconnect hundreds of times per second but on different ports.
- Fixed: After switching to editing mode in notification dialog, the ports and
remote IP are updated automatically if the program retries to reconnect.
- Fixed: Importing a full policy that was exported while High Filtering was enabled
blocks WFC in High Filtering profile. Changing the profile does not help as the
High Filtering profile is automatically switched back in a few seconds.
- Fixed: Importing a full policy always switches the WFC profile to Low Filtering.
The profile is now unchanged after importing a full policy file.
- Fixed: The rule name can contain leading or trailing white spaces when created
from WFC, while from WFwAS this is not allowed.
