Combined Windows Privacy Utilities Changelog
What's new in Combined Windows Privacy Utilities 1.7.9
Jan 26, 2021- We are now at release 1.7.9. All of the work over the past several months was incorporated into this release. This includes numerous improvements in the parsing routines for all the utilities, a more comprehensive whitelist for the Hosts and PAC updaters, up-to-date versions of the underlying GNU and BusyBox Windows ports, and more. As per usual, you may check the commit logs for more detailed info.
New in Combined Windows Privacy Utilities 1.7.8 (Jul 17, 2020)
- Big changes, and a new edition as well. First off, the scripts have been improved (as per usual with a new release), and the system tray utility now has an Update Scripts function too (just like the console interface does), right in the Help menu. This means that the tray utility and console interface have reached feature parity again. Next, the most crucial Windows ports of the GNU/Linux utilities which enable this program to function, were all updated.
- Finally, the most significant element of this release, is the introduction of a BusyBox-based edition of CWP Utilities (entitled SlimBB). Due to replacing many of the individual GNUWin32 utilities with BusyBox, this edition is smaller, and as a result, a bit quicker than the Main / Stable edition. Unfortunately, BusyBox's implementation of sed is not great, so I am still utilizing Michael Builov's fantastic port in both editions; Otherwise, BusyBox's integration with CWP Utilities is a no-brainer, and should allow for more rapid development of this utility suite. Both editions will continue to see development and remain in sync until further notice, but for the adventurous among you, please try out the new SlimBB edition. Cheers!
New in Combined Windows Privacy Utilities 1.7.7 (Jul 8, 2020)
- Significant improvements to CWP Utilities. The Windows port of PCREGREP has been updated in order to support a much wider array of patterns. This streamlined several of the scripts, allowing for greater efficiency in terms of pattern identification and overall parsing speed. Please uninstall your existing installation of CWP Utilities before installing this one. The feature which updates the core scripts of this program (option #15 in the console interface) is still present, and will allow you to keep your scripts in sync with this repo for future updates, but this full release was necessary because of replacing the PCREGREP binary and libraries with a new and improved version. We are now at stable release 1.7.7. Please upgrade to this version, and enjoy!
