Version 4.18

Released on 28 May 2015.

NOTE: Some printer drivers write temporary files to their own work area, even when not printing to file. In these cases, you will get SBIE1319 even when printing normally (not to file). The print may still print successfully. In this situation, you can safely ignore SBIE1319, hide the error message, or open the folder as described below.

There are 3 ways to allow the print spooler to print to file:

1) If you trust the process that is printing, you can double-click the SBIE1320 (that follows SBIE1319) to allow the print spooler to write files outside the sandbox for that particular process. 2) The spooler can write files outside the sandbox according to OpenFilePath settings. This enables you to permanently open the folders a particular printer driver uses to store its work files. 3) You can manually add the setting AllowSpoolerPrintToFile=y to sandboxie.ini. This is not recommended as it leaves your sandbox open to a print spooler exploit.

Version 4.16

Released on 20 Feb 2015.

WerFault has a couple of flaws. It doesn't create the crash DMP until the user presses OK on the crash popup dialog box. If the user does not respond quickly, the crashed application will exit memory and the DMP cannot be created. So now Sbie disables the WerFault dialog box and issues its own SBIE2224 "Sandboxed program has crashed". WerFault also must be given enough time to do various Internet activities before the application exits.

Version 4.14

Released on 16 Oct 2014.

These are the changes to Sandboxie since version 4.12:

  NOTE: the default only applies to new installs.  For existing installs, you need to go into Sandbox settings->Applications->Miscellaneous, and check the option "Allow direct access to Windows Font Cache"
	
   SBIE2335 Initialization failed for process %2
   SBIE2336 Error in GUI server:  %2
   SBIE2337 Failed to start program:  %2
	
    Example Sandboxie.ini entries (both lines required):
	
    OpenWinClass=TFormBSA
    OpenWinClass=TFormBSA/IgnoreUIPI
	

If SandboxieInstall.exe tries to download the VC Redistributables and fails, there is now a retry option.

    To clarify:
    SandboxieInstall.exe does not contain MS VC DLLs.  If they are not already installed or are not up to date, the installer will download the VC Redist. installer package and execute it.
    SandboxieInstall32.exe & SandboxieInstall64.exe contain the DLLs Sandboxie requires.  If they are not installed or are not up to date, the installer copies the ones required into system32.  The VC Redist. installer is not downloaded or executed.

Sandboxie Run Program... dialog can start some programs by executable name only, rather than a fully-qualified path name, much like the Windows Run dialog.

Registered users can now invoke a menu option to temporarily disable forced sandboxing nv of programs.

Important Fixes

Fixed minor performance/locking issues. (Since 2.31)

Support for disk systems where the naming convention is not the conventional \Device\HarddiskVolumeX, but also RAID-style device names, and user-configurable device names such as T: (Since 2.33)

Sandboxie Control will not overwrite settings in the configuration file, greatly reducing the need to set "ConfigLevel=99" when manually editing the configuration. (Since 2.31)

Enables system setting "Browse in New Process" inside the sandbox, forcing IE to run sandboxed even when configured by the system to run as part of Windows Explorer. (Since 2.35)

Playback of streaming video would occasionally hang a sandboxed process, now fixed. This could resolve process lock-ups in other situations too.

Fixed some memory corruption issues, some memory leaks, resolved some registry bugs, contributing to a more stable Sandboxie experience on the overall.

Version 2.25

Released on 2 February 2006.

Major Changes since version 2.22.

Introducing a new and improved Sandboxie Installer, which allows program updates without a removal first, and is also functional when running in Safe Mode.

Fixes

Resolved a conflict with Kerio Personal Firewall, version 4, that would cause Sandboxie to crash the entire system.

Fixed a problem where certain updates to the registry could, occasionally, cause a program to hang with 100% CPU utilization.

Forcing programs to run sandboxed will not run them in the weak sandbox mode. (Weak mode is a feature in development.) The fix was available since 12 January 2006 as a separate download.

Programs (particularly IE) no longer crash on Windows 2000 when dragging files to the desktop.

Configuration for Outlook Express allows mailbox files to be accessed in the "AppData" folder as well as "Local AppData".

Version 2.0

Released on 19 August 2005.

Changes since version 1.85.

Improved security and isolation of sandboxed programs that are trying to reach into and alter non-sandboxed programs.

Automatic support for running Outlook Express sandboxed and not losing mail. Possible also with other mail programs, after some further configuration.

Delete Contents of Sandbox can start automatically after all sandboxed programs are closed, or when Sandboxie itself closes. New Quick Recovery tool allows for easy one-click recovery of files before the sandbox is emptied.

Sandboxie can issue alerts when specific programs are started outside the sandbox.

Easier installation of desktop and quick-launch shortcuts to run your Web browser sandboxed.

Shadow registry keys that represent sandboxed registry keys will be discarded when the computer restarts. (They are all empty anyway.)

Small performance improvement due to less files being copied into the sandbox, if the files are not going to be updated.

Improved support for concurrent use of Sandboxie by multiple users of the same computer. (For users sharing a computer through Fast User Switching or Terminal Services)

Now configurable: the folder where the sandbox resides; the size limit for copying files into the sandbox (previously fixed at 32MB).

New concept of "Open" and "Closed" paths allowing specific programs full-access or no-access, respectively, to specific folders and registry keys.

Released on 27 April 2005.

Changes since version 1.8.

This version of Sandboxie fixes a system crash that occurs when using earlier versions of Sandboxie with a particular brand of anti-virus software.

Version 1.8

Released on 10 April 2005.

Changes since version 1.7.

Sandboxie implements auto-complete for Web forms and other uses. (Auto-complete data entered when using Sandboxie is not visible outside the sandbox.)

Note: It may be necessary to empty the sandbox once, after upgrading to version 1.8, before the auto-complete feature becomes usable. This is because previous versions of Sandboxie purposely disabled this feature inside the sandbox.

The Run Program... dialog now maintains a history of typed commands. Automatic command completion now works with both Windows 2000 as well as Windows XP.

The audio device becomes accessible within the sandbox.

Sandboxed programs may install icons in the system notification area. Specifically this means better support for the Avant browser.

Resolved the conflict with the Zone Alarm firewall product.

Fixed a problem with Internet access when the proxy setting is set to automatic proxy detection. This typically manifested itself as a browser trying to detect proxy settings indefinately.

And more features to increase overall stability and the range of usable programs. (It is now possible to run even the Windows Calculator under Sandboxie.)

Version 1.7

Released on 4 March 2005.

Changes since version 1.6.

Sandboxie is now able to run a sandboxed instances of most programs side-by-side with the unsandboxed instances of the same program. This means Firefox should now be on the same level of usability with Sandboxie as Internet Explorer is.

A new Run Program... feature in Sandboxie Control adds the ability to launch any program.

Nicer dialog for Empty Sandbox, which also deletes the shadow registry keys created for the sandbox.

Opening or explorer a folder from within a sandboxed process will open the target folder sandboxed.

For better system protection, Sandboxed programs are not allowed access to the system Service Control Manager.

Version 1.6

Released on 5 February 2005.

Changes since version 1.502.

This version of Sandboxie fixes many problems with the isolated COM framework that is used by programs running under the control of Sandboxie.

The long standing problem of Internet Explorer not coming up has been resolved, at least in some of the cases. In those cases that I observed, it was waiting for the Sandboxie COM framework to come up, but that framework was hung.

It's now possible to embed ActiveX Controls and OLE compound documents within applications. For example, viewing a PDF document using Internet Explorer opens the document (using Acrobat Reader) within the browser, rather than out of the browser.

Web radio is now possible, again due to better COM suport, though I have experienced some problems getting it to work under Windows 2000.

The system driver is started later in the initialization process of the system, in order to reduce possibility of conflict with other drivers. This change has resolved a system crash with a blue screen at least in one case.

Sandboxie Control can now work even when started by a restricted user in the system.

Stronger isolation of sandboxed processes from the outside system: more system object classes, in addition to disk files and registry keys, are now sandboxed.

A few very minor tweaks to improve performance.

Version 1.502

Released on 9 January 2005.

Changes since version 1.5.

This version of Sandboxie fixes a system hang that occurs when using earlier versions of Sandboxie with a particular brand of anti-virus software.

A new Run Default Browser action that launches the system default web browser.

This is a very small upgrade, so only the installation package is labelled version 1.502. The application components themselves display version 1.5.

Version 1.5

Version 1.4

Released on 4 December 2004.

Changes since version 1.25.

This version should fix any system lock ups previously caused by Sandboxie. It also provides better separation between sandboxed and non-sandboxed programs running simultaneously, and better identification by displaying the sign "[#]" in the title bar of running sandboxed programs.
