* Fixed 'Edit List' dropdown list problem on XP - Just a minor tweak. * Installer: Ensure 'Start with Windows' reg key deleted during uninstall - Previously, the uninstaller was apparently not removing the registry-key we put in there to get us to Start with Windows. These icons should also change colors as per your current Enabled/Disabled/Allow HTTP settings. * Added Icons to All Windows - None of our windows should now display a 'broken' icon, although some of them still have no icon at all (as is expected, for that window style). help prevent third-party code-injection attacks. * Added Security Build-Flags - A number of security-oriented build-flags have been applied, things that should e.g. * Cleanup Tabs in Readme - The readme.rtf file should be layed out just a wee bit better, regardless of whether you use MS Word or Wordpad to view the file. Should say 'Copyright (c) 2009-2010 PeerBlock, LLC' in all publicly visible locations. * Updated Copyright Notices for 2010 - Now that we're a new year, the program copyright notices have been updated to reflect this.

* Installer: New Custom Task Backend - Changed the way the installer handles previously-selected tasks.

#Peerguardian zip#

zip versions -> 9.10, InnoSetup (used for building installer) -> 5.3.7. * Third-party Libs Updated - SQLite -> 3.6.22, 7zip (used for creating 'portable'.

#Peerguardian code#

* Code Cleanup - Removed some old unused code, in various locations.

#Peerguardian driver#

* Added Driver Tracing - A whole bunch of driver trace messages were added, though they're not easily showing up except on XP (where you can run DebugView to see them). * Changed Setup Wording - Changed the wording of the 'Always Allow HTTP' option in the Setup Wizard from 'While these ports are usually used for web browsing, programs oftentimes use them too' to '.other programs often use them too' * Remove pbfilter driver-service - We'd been leaving the pbfilter driver-service 'wrapper' existent after we exited, which was unclean at best, especially for people wanting to run it in 'Portable Mode' off a USB stick. These changes should impact you less than the previously-mentioned ones, but are still things that have gone in recently in case you're interested. * Multiple-select of Rows - You can now Ctrl+Click multiple lines in the main window as well as on history (and in the List Manager), to allow/block/copy multiple IP addresses at once. Many thanks to Luka Milkovic (Aelthegrin) for the report! This is not much of a security hole - all it can do is cause the machine to crash, and it requires that a 'bad' program already be running on your local machine - but it is good to defend against this condition all the same. * Fixed Crash-causing Vulnerability - A malicious program running on the local machine could send an malformed IOCTL to our driver, causing the machine to crash. * Fix for 'Volume externally altered' App-Crash - There was a problem in which nf would get corrupted - this would cause PeerBlock to 'crash' every time it was started. This way if your regular config file, nf, ever gets corrupted (or you end up with some bad settings in there) and that prevents PeerBlock from starting, it will be able to load this saved copy instead. * Saves 'Last Known Good' Config - Each time PeerBlock successfully starts up, it will save aside a copy of your configuration as. If you let it, it will change .uk-hosted URLs over to -hosted ones, rename list URLs to the new 'Friendly' URL-names, and remove duplicated list entries.

#Peerguardian upgrade#

* List 'Optimization' - When you first upgrade to r277, PeerBlock will ask if you will allow it to 'optimize' your lists. PeerBlock will also offer to fix these URLs for you when possible. It checks to make sure you haven't added the 'Description URL' instead of the 'Update URL', lets you know if you're adding one of the Default Lists, checks for duplicates, recommends URLs instead of .uk URLs, etc. * List-Add Sanity-Checking - After you've added a new URL-based list in the List Manager, PeerBlock will now perform a 'sanity-check' of that URL. These new URLs should actually be meaningful, instead of something like './?list=kpjsadfkljawjefklajwef'. * 'Friendly' URLs - PeerBlock is now using 'Friendly' URLs for most lists, instead of the URLs you can find at. * Switched 'Additional Lists' to iBlocklist - The 'additional lists' listed in the dropdown box when you add a new list used to all be based ones.

If you've already reviewed the list of changes from the r277 Download page, then this section will be redundant for you - feel free to skip ahead to the Minor Changes section.

These changes are deemed 'major', either because they change the way you'd expect PeerBlock to operate based on previous versions, or because they're fixing an exceptionally nasty bug. Here are all the changes that have gone into PeerBlock 1.0+ (r277) since r223 was released.
