Release v1.17.5 / 5.72.5

Release Notes

Sandboxie-Plus version 1.17.5 (and the corresponding classic build 5.72.5) resolves several regressions introduced in recent releases and improves compatibility with certain desktop and shell interactions.
This update adds a workaround for applications that request the default desktop object and previously triggered the SBIE2205 OpenDesktop warning, improving compatibility with software that expects direct access to the default desktop environment.
A regression since version 1.17.3 that prevented sandboxes from being renamed has been fixed. The issue, which produced a “The parameter is incorrect” error, was caused by multi-line configuration values being rejected by the new ContainsCRLF validation in CIniFile::AddValue. The user interface has also been corrected to automatically reselect the sandbox after a successful rename.
Tray icons from sandboxed applications are now displayed correctly when OpenWinClass=* is used. This is achieved by proxying Shell_NotifyIcon calls so the icons are properly registered with the host shell. The behavior is enabled by default and can be controlled with the UseShellNotifyIconProxy option, which supports process and !process selectors.
Finally, window border handling has been improved when applications toggle the WS_EX_TOPMOST style. Sandboxie now tracks topmost state changes and adjusts window ordering accordingly to maintain correct border visibility and z-order.

For a full list of changes please review the change log.

You can support the project through donations, any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you have issues with an update installation, just uninstall the previous version keeping the sandboxie.ini and reinstall the new build.
