Changelog

Added

• added icons to sub tabs in the box options dialog
• recovery and message pop-up menu options are not persisting across UI restarts any more
• added new box color, a white box indicates that its not really a sandbox and is displayed when the user specified OpenFilePath=* or alike

Changed

• Sandboxie no longer issues message 1301 when forced processes are temporarily disabled
  -- the message can be re-enabled with "NotifyForceProcessDisabled=y"
• reworked the "Open COM" checkbox mechanism in the plus UI
  -- Now it uses a template and it can also keep COM closed while OpenIpcPath=* is set

Fixed

• fixed compatibility issue with Proxifier #2163
• fixed encoding issue with Korean translation #2173
• fixed issues with update available message

This build adds 2 new isolation mechanisms to increase security of hardened boxes, hence boxes previously designated hardened will now be downgraded in the UI to normal, and the hardened icons will be used to the new box type.
The first isolation mechanism "SysCallLockDown=y" limits the amount of ntdll syscalls which are executed with the original process token to a list of known approved syscalls
The second isolation mechanism "RestrictDevices=y" leverages rule specificity to limit the accessible driver/device endpoints to a list of known required endpoints plus whatever the user opens using the resource access rules.

- OpenKeyPath settings do not work between v1.1.1 and v1.1.3: https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/issues/2006 https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/issues/1276#issuecomment-1179549904

This release changes how sandboxie marks deleted host files as deleted, instead of creating dummy entries it uses an internal data structure to keep the stat of changes to the host file system. With the new mechanics it is possible to rename folders and keys properly.
This new behavior needs to be enabled by specifying UseFileDeleteV2=y sand UseRegDeleteV2=y in later builds this will be enabled by default, hence please test this build and report back if there are any issues.

This build also adds a new UI functionality, sandman.exe now monitors the size of sandboxes and reports it in the info column, this functionality needs to be enabled in the global settings.

Last but not least this build reduces the cpu usage of sandman.exe a lot.
