v6.1.323.1699 RC
This version is super important for two big reasons, both concern networking/compatibility: we have *finally* fixed the compatibility issue with KIS/ESET (big shoutout to everyone who has been helping us with testing numerous builds - @BooBerry @caleb59 @moraks @skipik @The-Commissioner @WhinVader) and, also, we've fixed a certificate issue in modern Chrome versions (59+). Details below.
Beta v6.1.312.1629
This update is actually a release candidate. After so many betas, we have finally finished tweaking the network driver, and feel ready to push it into release. Few minor bugs that left were cleaned up here.
Beta v6.1.309.1615
This is the third back-to-back beta version that updates and fine-tunes WFP driver. Some other related issues were fixed as well.
Beta v6.1.306.1604
This is a hotfix for the recent beta update, containing only one, but major fix.
Beta v6.1.303.1594
The first beta of the new year features one much-awaited change and a lot of other, less impactful ones. This change is, of course, the new WFP driver. Read on to find out what consequences it will have. Other changes are either technical or minor. Several bugs were fixed, which will improve overall filtering quality.

[Fixed] Compatibility with KIS/ESET: #1565
We'd already claimed to have this fixed in the previous releases, but things turned out to be more complicated. We've come through countless iterations, test builds, and driver updates, and now we are confident enough to say that this time the problem is fixed for real. No more BSODs and other funny stuff when you run Adguard alongside with KIS or ESET.
And again, we can't thank enough everyone who was willing to cope with raw test builds and provided invaluable feedback in order to help us make things right. Just look at the task (#1565) - it is blowing up with comments. We are happy to have such users, you are awesome.
[Fixed] Compatibility with Chrome 59+: #1597
With big news which WFP driver compatibility fix is it could be easy to neglect other changes. And that would be so wrong! This fix, in particular, is of utmost importance. It ensures Adguard will run without problems on modern (v59+) Chrome versions. Otherwise, there would be troubles with Adguard certificate validation.

[Fixed] Adguard Service keeps downloading data after closing the browser #1599
[Fixed] An error encountered when adding a filter by URL #1583

[Added] $network basic rules modifier to solve the issue with loading ads through WebRTC #1297
This modifier serves to block initial level requests to selected IPs. It can be used by custom rules creators in cases when STUN servers are used for loading ads.
[Fixed] Routers pages access issue #1524
Some routers' interfaces were not accessible with enabled Adguard after the latest beta update. The new version fixes this problem.
[Improved] The way we respond to HTTP protocol violation #1452
It would take too long to explain technical nuances, but effectively this fixes the problem some users might have come across before: when you try to open a page and it is downloaded as a file instead.
[Changed] HTTPS exceptions list is updated #1532

[Fixed] DNS requests are blocked when KIS 2017 is installed #1522
One of the changes made in the latest beta ended up blocking DNS requests when KIS 2017 is installed, which effectively means no Internet access. New build fixes this problem.

[Improved] WFP driver was updated to fix compatibility issues with KIS and ESET #1497
Previously, it was not unusual at all that Adguard would have compatibility issues with some antiviruses, and KIS and ESET being the most common ones. The workarounds existed but were far from ideal - you had had to sacrifice some parts of functionality on either Adguard or antivirus side. With updated WFP driver these conflicts will be no more, allowing users to run Adguard alongside with KIS and ESET.
