Software Update: Sandboxie Plus 5.53.0 / 0.9.8

Sandboxie is a program that makes it possible to run programs under Windows in a protected environment. In this way, changes made by programs or web browsers are easy to undo, and there is no risk of affecting important parts of the operating system.

Sandboxie can be used on Windows 7 or higher and is now offered as open source, after Sophos stopped using it. Sandboxie is available in a classic and plus version. Internally they work the same, but the latter has a more modern Qt-built user interface. The changelog for this release can be found below.

  Note that this was previously part of “NoSandboxieDesktop=y”

Changed

• Reworked and extended RPC logging
