Changelog 0.8.5

Added

• added global hotkey to terminate all boxed processes (by default Ctrl+Break)

Changed

• Replaced the Process List used by the driver with a much faster Hash Map implementation
  -- Note: this change provides an almost static system call speed of 1.2us irregardless of the running process count
  -- The old list, with 100 programs running required: 4.5µs; with 200: 12µs; and with 300: 18µs per syscall
  -- Note: some of the slowdown was affecting also non sandboxed applications due to how the driver handles certain callbacks
• Replaced the per-process Thread List used by the driver with a much faster Hash Map implementation
• Replaced configuration section list with a hash map to improve configuration performance, and increased line limit to 100000
  -- not yet enabled in production build
• the presence of default box is only checked on connect
• the portable dir dialog now shows the directory #924
• when terminated boxed processes now we first try doing that by terminating the job object
• the driver now by default can terminate problematic processes without the help of the service

• Replaced the per-process Thread List used by the service with a much faster Hash Map implementation

  -- it's recommended to use "OpenSamEndpoint=y" to allow for password change in windows 10

 

Many thanks for continuing your work on Sandboxie. Running the plus in portable mode, 0.8.5 seems to run sandboxed apps a tad slower, less snappy. It's a feeling only, haven't done a quantitative check. Reverting back to 0.8.2, the difference is noticeable to me

 

I can confirm the performance issue and the reason is a peace of debug code that weaseled its way into teh production build.
There will be a hotfix release soon... stay tuned....

 

Thanks because I have to uninstall 0.8.5, Firefox is almost unusable due to severe input lag and much slower opening. Also, every time I open Firefox, I get this message box. Went back to prior build.

Spoiler: sbie message box

 

that folder is driver related, not firefox. firefox do not load such file here, sandboxie copy only "dberr.txt". needs to be verified with win10 x64. edit: no, also not on 10pro x64

 

As expected - after no mention of fixed Chromium-issues in the changelog - I'm sorry for having to report that the presumed "11th-gen-Intel"-issue has not been resolved in this latest build.

Here current Chrome itself as well as latest Opera-versions making use of Chromium-engine >=v.90 continue refusing to launch sandboxed with the same notorious error messages reported in previous posts.

 

yea also the newest intel machine i have at work bough just a couple months ago is a 9th gen

so i need someone with an 11gen machine and remote access....

 

Didn't someone already offer that? Seems he somehow had forgotten the appointment as he later on explained in a previous thread.

 

here is the fixed build: https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/releases/tag/0.8.6

 

yes

 

Sandboxie Plus 0.8.6. all good on my machines thanks David. No errors this end on launching, but I make it a habit to reboot after the installation finishes, which might be why...

 

Thank you so much for implementing this very useful feature!

 

Installed over 0.8.2, everything's back to normal. Thanks for the prompt fix.

 

Thanks for your continued work on Sandboxie.

 

0.8.6 install over 0.8.2

 

Yes, I had read your post. Just sharing similar event.
Edit:
Trying to find global hotkey to terminate all boxed processes on my Dell Lappy? Dell document says Fn + B keys for Pause/Break function.
Fn + B does not work for me? No biggy.

 

I got that message too when opening Firefox boxed for the first time under 0.8.6. I just closed it and it hasn't been back since.

 

For me a reboot and all was ok. I posted a similar message and deleted it once the problem cleared.
