Sandboxie-Plus 1.16.1 (Pre-release)

With this release, Sandboxie’s core has been modernized to ensure long-term stability and compatibility with today’s development platforms. We’ve upgraded our build environment to the MSVC 2022 toolset—an unavoidable change now that support for the 2019 runner has been discontinued—and migrated our UI framework from Qt 5 to Qt 6. Together, these updates bring improved compiler optimizations and access to the latest Qt features, but in doing so they require us to discontinue support for Windows 7 and 32-bit operating systems. We understand this may impact some users; if there is sufficient demand, we will explore providing a periodic Extended Support Release (ESR) that maintains compatibility with Windows 7.

On the fixes side, this build addresses several noteworthy issues reported in recent weeks: shortcuts now correctly include the full directory path, resolving the incomplete-link problem; binding to a network adapter once again enforces isolation even if the adapter is disabled; file-path resolution no longer fails on paths beginning with a backslash; the UI language bindings have been corrected to honor the installer’s Language ID; the UAC prompt layout has been polished for consistency; and the “Run Un-Sandboxed” option will no longer be ignored when Mark-of-the-Web enforcement is enabled. We appreciate all feedback and bug reports, and hope you enjoy this more robust and future-proof release of Sandboxie.

Hello David,

Just a couple thoughts, first thanks for keeping a Win 7 version going for so long and It's a big reason I have been a supporter since the early days. However change is inevitable and I totally understand. Speaking of supporting; I have been buying the home version every year + encryption pack (past 2 years). Can there be a subscriber renewal deal similar to the personal license you have going? Or maybe a home+encryption pack for 5-10 less. The reason I ask is purchasing stuff across the pond has been terrible with the weak dollar to euro and what cost 65 last year is going to set me back close to 90 this time. How much would it cost to switch over to personal at this stage? I mean your work is worth it, but I just wanted to hear your thinking and I realize we are all losing to inflation.
