Update: release candidate 6.1.296 R4
We thought we had fixed userscript handling in previous RC, but, as it turned out, the fix was not complete. New release candidate, hopefully, finishes the job.

Update: release candidate 6.1.294 R3
In this release candidate there are only minimal (yet necessary) changes that mostly concern userscripts handling.
Update: release candidate 6.1.290 R2
An urgent fix for a major IPv6 filtering bug. A couple of other fixes thrown in as well.
Update: release candidate 6.1.287 R2
This is a release candidate, so, as it is often true for RCs, pretty much only technical fixes here. Worth noting that we went further with Web of Trust extension and added the option to remove it altogether, and not only disable.
Update: 6.1.281.1494 R2 beta
New beta fixes several bugs and makes some changes to UI. Also, recent WoT controversy is addressed by making WoT extension disabled by default.
Update: 6.1.278.1411 R2 beta
A small beta to add a new modifier and fix some known bugs.
Update: 6.1.273.1479 R2 beta
A hotfix for the yesterday's beta release. A couple of urgent issues were addressed.
Update: 6.1.271.1366 R2
We haven't released any beta versions in a while, as it does often happen after a new release. We were monitoring it for any bugs, and quite a few are fixed in this beta. Other changes and improvements are also present, but none of them are really huge enough to deserve a special mention.

Update: 6.1.281.1494 R2 beta
New beta fixes several bugs and makes some changes to UI. Also, recent WoT controversy is addressed by making WoT extension disabled by default.
[Changed] WOT extension is now disabled by default #1364
Recently, an article was posted in one of the popular technology blogs, claiming that Web of Trust is selling its users' browser history to third-parties. WoT extension is preinstalled in Adguard for Windows, and although it was developed by us and is not sending any of your data to WoT, we can not leave this without a reponse. For this reason we make WoT extension disabled by default in Adguard for Windows. You can read our official stance regarding these news in our blog.

[Fixed] Filter's name isn't copied with the rest of request details #1318
[Fixed] Button size issue on the last step of Adguard wizard #1352
