Actual Window Guard 8.15.2

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[-] Windows 10+, Window Settings: In some cases, settings stopped being applied
to Metro/UWP apps after restarting Actual Window Guard.

[!] Security: Now all Actual Tools runtime executables natively support
the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and Address Space Layout Randomization
(ASLR) security technologies provided by the system. That hardens
the overall system security by preventing various exploit attacks.

[!] Memory consumption and overall system load is slightly reduced.

[!] In some rare cases multi-window applications might crash silently after
closing and re-opening a window of the same type (e.g. separate message
window in email client).

[*] Compatibility is improved with custom cursors provided by Yolo Mouse.

[-] After exiting and then starting Actual Window Guard back,
some features in some applications might work erratically.

[-] In multi-window applications memory leaked slightly after each cycle of
closing a window and then opening two windows in a row.

[-] Excel 2007+ hung after closing some of its standard dialogs: Protect Sheet,
Conditional Formatting, Chart Data, etc.

[-] Configuration: The Send to Tech Support feature did not recognize
Windows 11 marking the sent configurations as Win10-built.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Some internal components are made more concurrency-friendly by removing
redundant locks and eliminating bottlenecks that might cause a noticeable
system slowdown on multi-core CPUs in some scenarios.

[!] Internal consumption of memory and system resources is slightly reduced,
some memory/resource leaks are fixed.

[+] Windows 10: Some improvements for UWP apps:

- extra menu commands added by Actual Window Guard are finally
available in the system window menu invoked by a title bar right click

- the "Prevent window's accidental close" feature now works as expected

[-] Window Settings, Windows 7+: Another proper specific settings did not apply
to a File Explorer window with some specific settings already applied when
its caption changed after switching to a certain folder and the Explorer
option "Display the full path in the title bar" was on.

[!] Windows 10 Insider x64 build 21277+: The program crashed at startup.

[+] Licensing: The evaluation period is prolonged by a third of its original
duration for the update versions released after the Free Updates
Subscription expiration date.

[-] An invalid memory operation could cause cascading errors in the Control
Center at its startup if the "Collect usage statistics" option was enabled.

[-] Some application windows (e.g. Directory Opus) stopped reacting on
Control Center commands (like pausing/resuming or modifying the settings).

[-] Window Actions: The Run Keyboard Macro action forced its target window
remain foreground, which was inappropriate if a macro's purpose presumed
another window activation (especially when the action was activated by
any means other than "At Window Startup").

[!] Internal security has been accurately revised and tightened to follow the
    principle of least privilege (in particular, for kernel objects used for
    inter-process communication).

[!] Internal error handling has been revised and improved for better
    interoperability with apps using .NET runtime (and probably some other
    frameworks).

[!] Internal handling of display-related information has been optimized to
    reduce the overall delay after changing the desktop geometry (i.e.
    attaching/detaching a monitor or changing a monitor resolution).

[+] Window Settings: The ability is added to apply window settings to such
    system pop-up windows as Action Center, Volume Mixer, Network, and tray
    notifications.

[*] Window Actions: Now the "Prevent window's accidental close" option works
    in Mozilla-based apps (Firefox, Thunderbird, Pale Moon) and some
    Chromium-based apps (Google Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Yandex.Browser, Brave,
    Skype for Desktop).

[-] In some rare cases some apps might get hung after reapplying their window
    settings or unloading Actual Window Guard.

[!] In some rare cases, running applications might crash randomly.

[!] Some applications (Adobe products, TechSmith products, Parametric
    Technologies products, and some others) got hung if two or more Actual Tools
    programs were running at once (exiting all but one Actual Tools programs
    made hung applications responsive back).

[-] Window Actions: The "Block premature appearance of window" option did not
    work as declared in Chromium-based applications.

[-] Window Actions: Applying the "Send to bottom" action at startup might make
    the Alt key appear to be pressed (actual pressing/releasing the physical
    Alt key removed that effect).

[-] Text on buttons in the Evaluation dialog was garbled in some Asian languages
    (Chinese, Japanese).

[!] Microsoft Office 2013+: Application windows got frozen for a long time
    (up to several minutes) after locking the user session and then unlocking
    it back.

[*] Configuration: Now configuration windows and dialogs correctly scale their
    content to a current DPI resolution, including on-the-fly scaling when
    dragging them between monitors with different DPI resolutions.

[-] Window Actions: Google Chrome window did not respect the Restrict Placement
    and Fix Minimal/Maximal Size actions when it was full screen or in kiosk
    mode.

[-] Configuration: The "Copy settings from" command stopped working.

[+] The CFL command line switch is expanded with the ability to specify
an arbitrary folder where the configuration files should be stored:

ActualWindowGuardCenter.exe CFL ""

[*] Overall stability is improved.

[*] Evaluation dialog has been restyled.

[*] Proper scaling in high DPI resolutions has been finally implemented for
program dialogs (About, Register, Check for Updates, etc.).

[-] Some features stopped working in Skype windows after saving the
Actual Window Guard configuration.

[-] Windows 7+: Specific window settings with certain Window Caption criterion
specified did not apply to Microsoft Management Console windows (Event
Viewer, Task Scheduler, Disk Manager, etc.).

[!] The navigation panel in the main Configuration window has been replaced.

[!] Configuration: Global options of window settings (like title buttons skin,
window menu items order, pre-defined window sizes, etc.) have been moved
from the Options category to the Window Settings category in the main
Configuration window.

[+] Configuration: Ability is added to select all items in the lists with
multi-selection allowed by pressing the Ctrl-A hotkey. As this key
combination was reserved for adding a new item to a list, the New Item
hotkey has been changed to Ctrl-N.

[*] Configuration: Hotkey combinations for list operations have been unified
for all list-editing panels:

Ins, Ctrl-N - add new item
Del, Ctrl-D - delete selected item
F5 - copy selected item
Ctrl-=, Ctrl-Num+ - enable all items (where available)
Ctrl--, Ctrl-Num- - disable all items (where available)
Ctrl-A - select all items (where available)

[*] Configuration: Confirmation request for the Delete Item operation has been
removed in all list-editing panels. If you accidentally removed the needed
item - you can click the Undo button in the bottom-left corner of the main
Configuration window or press the Undo hotkey (Ctrl-Z by default).

[*] Configuration: The flickering has been reduced significantly when resizing
either the Configuration windows themselves or their internals.

[*] Windows 10: Hotkeys now work in Metro apps.

[*] Configuration: Separate Window Settings windows now retain their position
and size when you open them again.

[-] Installer: The uninstaller popped up interactive dialog requests even if it
had been launched with /SILENT or /VERYSILENT command line option.

[-] Configuration: Minimized windows did not restore on clicking
the notification area icon or pressing the Configure hotkey.

[!] On some combinations of video hardware and drivers
Actual Window Guard crashed at startup.
