🛡️ CyberWall v1.7.0 — Release Notes

Welcome to CyberWall v1.7.0! 🎉 This major update introduces customizable audio chime notifications with multiformat WAV/MP3 support, native Authenticode leaf signer verification, an ultra-responsive asynchronous decision pipeline with tactile micro-interactions, sleek bulk action hover effects, and important quality-of-life enhancements.

✨ What's New & Highlights in v1.7.0

🔊 Configurable Soft Audio Notifications (WAV & MP3 Support)

  • Built-in Harmonic Chime Synthesizer: Emits a gentle, soothing chime (C6/G6/C5 harmonic sine waves with exponential decay) whenever a network prompt appears — zero external audio dependencies.
  • Custom Audio Support: Supports both .wav and .mp3 audio files.
  • Settings & Audio Controls: Toggle audio alerts on/off (Default ON), browse for custom sound files, reset to default, and preview sounds instantly with the new in-app preview button 🔊.
  • Burst Protection: Throttling algorithm prevents volume blasting when multiple connection prompts appear simultaneously.

🛡️ Authentic Leaf Signer Verification Engine

  • Zero False Positives: Replaced legacy certificate table parsing with native Win32 Authenticode APIs (CryptQueryObject & CertFindCertificateInStore), inspecting only genuine developer leaf signatures.
  • Unsigned Binaries: Accurate detection for unsigned software (displaying the warning badge: "Unsigned" / "Sin firmar").

⚡ Asynchronous Verdict & Prompt Engine

  • Instant Response (0ms Click Latency): Rule application, WFP kernel enforcement, and COM Windows Firewall rules now execute asynchronously on background threads, eliminating UI hitching under heavy network traffic.
  • Tactile Micro-Interactions: Smooth ScaleTransform press feedback on all prompt, confirmation, and notification buttons.
  • Double-Click Protection: Prevents accidental duplicated verdicts.

🎨 Visual Polish & UI Enhancements

  • Bulk Action Buttons: Soft blue hover effect on "Allow all" (AllowAllBtn) and soft red hover effect on "Block all" (BlockAllBtn).
  • Modal Attention Animation: Reusable warning shake & glow attention animation on modal dialogs (About, Notifications, Settings) when attempting to interact with background windows.
  • Rule Toggle Tooltips: Tooltip with hotkey hint ("Toggle rule (Space)" / "Alternar regla (Espacio)") with a 600ms intentional hover delay.

🚀 Lifecycle & Notification Improvements

  • Start Minimized Toggle: Seamless background startup straight to system tray.
  • Obsolete Update Cleanup: Automatic purge and status resolution of outdated version notifications in the Notification Center.
