Okay, the beta update is posted for upgrade testing. Here are the changes since the previous beta build:
Trial is 30 days (this won't affect the beta testers who I presume are already activated).
Removed unused fields in the about box (these were related to when upgrades were available for version 3.5).
About box reports all four version numbers: I hope this is really working now so I don't have to explain why the version number in the about box differs from the one in the control panel. Our first attempt to fix it didn't work - it worked on the developer's machine, but not in QA because it only worked if the GUI was running as an administrator. Sometimes what you think will be the simplest fixes are not that simple
Modified help file: Should be up to date with the exception of some screen shots perhaps.
Made improvements to folder settings for Guarded applications: Went with a combination of the old and new ("Private (Deny Access)" for example).
Fixed an issue where upgrade was leaving the AppGuard protection turned off after reboot.
Updates should work even if Restore Points are not allowed (wish I could have included a progress indicator - maybe next release).
On the License Activation page, there is a "where is my license" link. This was incorrect.
There was a crash of the GUI if you tried to add a Guarded Application that had a path that was over 255 characters (I'm surprised no one from Wilder's found this, but it was found by one of our summer interns).
There was a crash to the service if you tried to add a power application that had a path that was over 255 characters (same comment as above).
Added Opera Launcher.exe to Guard List. This will result in multiple instances of Opera in the Guard List, but will protect Opera after an upgrade without rebooting the system.
One of the prompts that occurs during installation has some text describing how you need to customize the tray if you want AppGuard icon to always appear in the tray. This was not appearing in Window 8.1.
The "red-listing" feature was fixed so that if you add an individual file to user-space policy it will not be permitted to run even if it is digitally signed.
A cert with a blank Organization will appear in the Publisher List.
