[AdGuard for Windows] v6.1.296 R4 release candidate

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.

Spoiler: Changelog:

[Fixed] AdsBypasser and other userscripts do not work properly when added to Adguard #1363

You can find the full description on GitHub: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows/releases

Spoiler: Previous changes

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.

Spoiler: Changelog:

[Fixed] Bug preventing Adguard from filtering IPv6 #1389

Not much to add here. Accidentally, we have disabled filtering for all IPv6 addresses in the last release candidate. This version fixes this major bug.

[Changed] ALYac app added to the list of apps filtered by default #1344
[Changed] Salam Browser added to the list of apps filtered by default #1347
[Fixed] $replace rule is shown as applied to images #1392
[Fixed] 'access-control-allow-origin' header console error #1381
[Fixed] Adsbypasser and some other userscripts do not work properly #1363
[Improved] HTTPS is now used for safebrowsing service requests #1386

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.

Spoiler: Changelog:

Networking

[Changed] Loopback IPv6 connections are not filtered now (Visual Studio remote debugging bug) #1373
[Fixed] $replace modifier breaks content charset #1378
[Fixed] "Enable safe search" function in Parental Control breaks Google #1383

[Improved] Encrypted connection is used now with api.adguard.com #1369

UI

[Added] An option to remove WoT extension #1364
[Fixed] Adguard crashes if you try to close UI while editing a filter rule #1258

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.

Spoiler: Changelog:

[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.

A small beta to add a new modifier and fix some known bugs.

Spoiler: Changelog:

Spoiler: Changelog:

[Fixed] "SEC_ERROR_BAD_SIGNATURE" problem in Firefox
[Fixed] Issue with Proxy mode and IPv6 addresses #1314

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.

Great work, installed fine.

 

Tested all three sites with my Firefox and no issue.

 

Had open Filter Editor in Background, pressed Win+D to minimize everything and then Adguard crashed (first time and can't reproduce atm). I installed latest Intel Graphic Cards driver before and didn't restart yet, maybe that is somehow interfering.

Code:

Adguard.exe
6.1.271.1366
57fd042a
igdumdim32.dll
20.19.15.4501

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\igdumdim32.dll

Crash dump file (too big to attach):

According to the screenshot these are two different elements (look at the code, quotes are escaped in the second one.

 

@Phonemes @Rik

Could we arrange a remote access session with you? Please PM me if you are ok with it.

I'd like to take a closer look at the issues.

 

This is a known issue of the latest insider preview build.

WFP is completely broken there:
https://forum.adguard.com/index.php...t-windows-10-insider-fast-ring-release.14637/

Waiting for MS guys to fix it.

 

@Phonemes @Rik

It seems that SEC_ERROR_BAD_SIGNATURE error is how FF reacts on an unknown certificate.

So, here are the problems:
1. Certificate reinstall button does not restart FF (while it should have). So, before clicking this button you should close FF manually.
2. I don't understand what happened to the certificate on AG update. It shouldn't have been changed.

 

Oh my, certificate automatic import to FF is simply broken in this version.

Next beta is coming very soon.

 

Without automatic import it won't help Will be fixed soon in the new build.
