MajorPrivacy 0.97.2 Beta changelog:
- This release of MajorPrivacy introduces several powerful new features and important improvements. A DNS filter server has been added, enabling more granular control over DNS traffic. Users can now define Windows Firewall rule templates with wildcard-enabled paths, significantly streamlining rule creation. The ingress view includes a new operation filter, and program items in the UI now display memory usage for log and trace data, with a total memory usage indicator for services. We've also introduced trace presets per process and added an option to enable debugging of processes running in enclaves. For easier navigation, a new "expand/collapse all" button has been added to the program tree.
- Path rule handling has been reworked with a more flexible mechanism supporting DOS-style patterns, with plans for a future rule import system. The firewall popup now ignores incoming connection attempts to avoid unnecessary prompts. Internally, the project structure, framework, and variant implementation have been refactored and cleaned up, resulting in a more stable and maintainable codebase. Log and trace data are now managed using dedicated memory pools per program, improving performance and reliability.
- This version also resolves a deadlock issue during program list cleanup and a crash that could occur when stopping the service while the UI remained open.
