Adguard 6.0.202.1020 Beta

# 6.0.202.1020:
[Fixed] Issues in Windows 10 Insider Preview build caused by SHA-1 certificate used for network drivers.

Let us stop at this one, since this change stands out as a most important one in this update. Recently we have noticed, with the invaluable help of our beta testers, that SHA-1 certificate previously used to sign our network drivers, was in a process of being deprecated. Effectively this means that users of Windows 10 Insider Preview were not able to enable protection. Our developers had to spend quite a lot of their free time on this weekend signing the drivers with new certificates, we hope their sacrifice wasn't in vain and now the problem is gone

[Fixed] 'Filtered apps' list now shows all apps correctly
[Improved] Default HTTPs exclusions list was significantly updated
[Fixed] AG code is no more injected into <noscript>
[Fixed] 'Upgrade license' notification is no more shown for licenses activated with beta key
[Fixed] Pressing Alt-F4 while in Adguard tray menu will no longer result in closing the main window
[Fixed] Mistake in Korean translation
[Fixed] K-Meleon browser is now correctly detected as installed
[Fixed] WebRTC will no more be blocked for applications which are not in the Filtered Apps list
[Fixed] Unnecessary language-specific filter activation

Adguard 6.0.214.1066 R2 Beta

6.0.214.1066 R2 Beta
@suhan3z suhan3z released this 3 hours ago

Disclaimer Adguard for Windows is not an open source project. We use github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.
This beta release is mostly about network-level changes and overall stability. We hope some of the old bugs will be fixed with it, such as ones caused by lack of content detection and flaws in our WFP network driver. Also we would like to draw your attention to some big changes concerning localisation. Below you can find more details.

UI

[Fixed] 'About' window content is not flickering anymore #954
[Fixed] Empty strings are now removed when importing user filter #973
[Fixed] Error previously encountered while installing a userstyle #934
[Improved] Proxy name validator now recognizes domain names and not only IP addresses #931

Networking

[Improved] HTML content detection #855
Content type detection was significantly improved. This effectively means that Adguard will not interfere with those types of traffic which do not require filtering, decreasing the number of potential conflicts.

[Fixed] Web interface of TP-Link router is broken #844
Some of our users encountered problems with accessing TP-Link routers' interface with enabled Adguard. Upon investigating this issue we discovered a serious issue with WFP driver which resulted in problems with displaying some websites. As a result, we have improved communication with some specific web-servers.

[Fixed] Data is now read to end after blocking a POST request #916

Ad Blocking

[Changed] Facebook windows app added to default filtered apps list #974
[Fixed] Error previously encountered while parsing a style tag with embedded svg #977
[Fixed] Language-specific filters are now detected properly from users keyboard layouts #401
[Improved] Adguard now can process websites names in punycode when adding them to HTTPS exclusions #962

Languages & Translations

[Added] Support for complex language codes #808
We have completely reworked applications localization system. This allowed us to significantly increase number of languages we can potentially support (this mostly concerns various dialects, alternative alphabets etc.).

Install/Update

[Fixed] Blank dialog while updating from 5.10 to 6.0 #924
[Fixed] CMD window is no more shown on Adguard update #935

AdGuard 6.0.220.1083 R2 Beta

6.0.220.1083 R2 Beta
@suhan3z suhan3z released this 2 hours ago

Disclaimer Adguard for Windows is not an open source project. We use github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.
This beta release serves mostly as a bug-fixer, with a couple of exceptions. We know that our users want to see more new cool features and less small technical changes, but they are necessary, especially since this version is a release candidate for R2. We promise, if this time there are no new bugs, we will get to 'real' stuff after the release The most notable changes in this beta are slightly new WFP network driver, which will hopefully fix some compatibility and stability issues, and adding of a $stealth modifier, which is explained in detail below.

UI changes

[Changed] Adguard uses native-style tray menu now #1006

Ad Blocker

[Improved] Added $stealth modifier that disables Stealth Mode for the specified website #339

As we already mentioned in our blog, separate whitelist for Stealth Mode is on our roadmap. It is a much needed feature for anyone who actively uses Stealth Mode. We are not quite there yet, but we made a big step in the right direction by implementing $stealth modifier. It works similar to all other modifiers, just add it to any exception rule and it will disable Stealth Mode for that website specifically, even if the module itself is enabled. For example: @@||example.org^$stealth
You can find more information about rules formatting on our website: adguard.com/filterrules.html

[Fixed] Adguard does not try to filter data: URLs any more #1007
[Fixed] $domain modifier now does work for blocking WebSocket connections #998
[Fixed] Adguard now doesn't ignore tag href attribute while constructing absolute URL #978

Languages and Translations

[Added] Croatian language

Install/Update

[Fixed] An issue when update errors were shown as valid updates in tray notification #993
[Fixed] Adguard now detects Chrome in 'Filtered apps' on Windows 10 insider build #972

Networking

[Fixed] Adguard can now detect HTML if there is an xml declaration at the document start #1011
[Fixed] ESET compatibility issue when Chrome browser would randomly hang #899

Adguard 6.1.232.1142 beta

Hello everyone!

This is the first beta version after the release of v.6.0.226. It covers all its shortcomings and adds several new features, that mostly concern Stealth Mode. We will describe them below.

Stealth Mode

[Added] "Self destructing cookies" option in Stealth Mode #678

Previously Stealth Mode module provided only the option to completely block third-party cookies. Now you will not only have an ability to differ first- and third-party cookies, but also the ability to set the exact time which cookies will be kept alive for. Important note: you can still block cookies alltogether, just set the keep-alive time to '0'.

[Added] Added an option to block "Browser location API" #139
[Added] Added an option to block "Browser notifications API" #1121

Normally browsers may detect your location and use this information to prioritize specific search results or make other various suggestions based on it. With browser location API blocked this will be impossible.
Blocking browser notifications API feature works somewhat similar, but rather prevents browser from showing things like news or social media frames that pop-up in the corner of your browser.

[Added] A possibility to set IP used to mask your real IP by "Hide IP" feature #118
[Changed] Default user agent to use when User Agent string field is empty #917

Userscripts

[Improved] Content injection algorithm #1099

We completely redesigned content injection algorithm. First and foremost, this should solve issues with document-start scripts, resolve some of the known conflicts (AdsBypasser, YouTube+), and also optimize usage of scripts and ad blocker styles. Overall, a technical, but very important change.

Ad blocking

[Improved] Increase content filtering rules maximum length limit #1112
[Fixed] Issue with adding localhost to parental control whitelist #1113
[Fixed] Gmail issue when selecting element to block #1102

Networking

[Fixed] Adguard fails to detect HTML on some websites #1114
[Fixed] Adguard 'Page is unavailable' error screen bug #1065

UI

[Added] Drag&Drop support for Filtered Apps #204
[Added] "Whitelisted" filter to the filtering log #1072
[Changed] "Browse for executable" button moved to the filtered apps section #1075
[Changed] Links to EULA and privacy policy added to "About" view #895
[Changed] Localizations were updated #1063
[Fixed] Tooltip positioning problem #1041
[Fixed] Adguard shows all filtered apps after adding a new one to the list #846
[Fixed] Adguard GUI starts with a system despite this option is disabled #983
[Fixed] "Clear" button is absent while there are only spaces entered in search string #950
[Fixed] User filter takes too much time to delete rules from it #995
[Fixed] Adguard recognizes UC browser only if it's launched #999
[Fixed] Adguard crashes when you search for something in 'Settings' and switch tabs #1043
[Fixed] Chrome x64 installation is not detected #157
[Fixed] Firefox Nightly installation is not detected #156

Install/Update

[Improved] Installation is not allowed to start when another installation is in progress #829
[Changed] Filters update check scheduled right after adding a new filter #949

Minor

[Changed] Add upload.my.mail.ru to HTTPS exclusions #1109
[Changed] Added GOM Player to the list of of apps filtered by default #762
[Changed] Added Telecom 7 browser to the list of apps filtered by default #817
[Changed] Added "BitComet" to the list of apps filtered by default #1055

[Changed] Spotify app added to the list of apps filtered by default #833
[Changed] Add more modern UI apps to be filtered by default #1110
[Fixed] Uploading video to my.mail.ru is broken by HTTPS filtering #1096
[Fixed] Incorrect blocking rule in Filtering Log #1094
[Fixed] FileWatcher does not work properly when filter file is replaced, not just modified #1077
[Fixed] 'Proceed anyway' button doesn't work #1066
[Fixed] Error 1603: A fatal error occurred during installation #1060
[Fixed] Uninstall utility does not remove UI settings folder #1032

@vbagirov vbagirov released this 2 hours ago

Disclaimer Adguard for Windows is not an open source project. We use github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.
This beta introduces 'Advanced settings' section along with other, more minor changes.

[Added] 'Advanced' settings window #1069

Our Adguard for Android users are already familiar with the concept of Advanced settings. We include there settings which, in our opinion, should not be changed by regular users, but only by experienced users, or after a conversation with our support team.

@vbagirov vbagirov released this 3 hours ago

Disclaimer Adguard for Windows is not an open source project. We use github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.

[Added] Support for extended selectors #1225

This is a technical term, but what hides behind it? With extended selectors support, we can much more easily create some rules that were very, very hard to create earlier. Notably, this concerns rules required to block such things as 'Sponsored posts' on Facebook.

[Fixed] Hebrew localization mistakes #1076
[Fixed] Unicode symbols are broken in javascript rules #1234
[Fixed] Multiple Adguard.Tools.exe issue #1229
[Fixed] Grammarly plugin compatibility issue #1231
