• Fix BSOD introduced in 0.85; Locking while being cleaned up is bad.
• Fix WiFi interruption on Windows 7 in some circumstances, as demonstrated by inability to connect when Kaspersky Internet Security is installed.

Note: for about an hour when this release was published, the drivers were not signed properly for Windows 10. Please re-download if you are having problems on Windows 10 due to driver signing.

  sleep. nmap/nmap#721

• Fix a crash that happened when many concurrent processes were using Npcap.
  If several of these quit during processing of a packet, the linked list of
  processes could become corrupted. Solved this by using a fixed array with
  copy-and-swap instead.

• Moved distribution of executable installer to http://npcap.org/ from Github.
• Write log files in UTF-8 encoding to preserve localized error messages.
• Report human-readable error when LWF filter fails to be installed.
• Add *NdisDeviceType=1 key to registry for Loopback adapter. Fixes #653

• Signed the uninstaller executable.
• Removed the legacy code supporting Windows XP and earlier.
• Added the CHANGELOG file
• Fixed a few null pointer dereferences that may have led to Blue Screens under
  some scenarios.
• Restored changes from 0.78 r2 through 0.78 r4 that were accidentally omitted
  from 0.78 r5.

• Microsoft Attestation-signed drivers for Windows 10, required in Win10 1607. See nmap/nmap#492 .
• Removed Windows XP support from the executable installer. XP users can use WinPcap instead, as that is all that we were installing on that platform.
