TinyWall - darmowy firewall

[ichito]

Ultim poinformował o kolejnej wersji RC

Okay, here is TinyWall RC2(second release candidate), let''s hope this works out better than the previous one. As hinted in one of my posts earlier, TinyWall had a problem running on Vista because it tried to rely on a feature that Vista does not have. The good news is, this should be fixed now and TinyWall will run on Vista. Bad news is, on Vista there is no tampering protection for the firewall rules, simply because I haven''t found a way to achieve this functionality on that OS. Windows 7 users still get full protection.

Other than that, I did my best to fix all issues reported in the forums and added/changed some messages in the installer to clarify some common misunderstandings.

Changelog:
- Fix: Disable Windows Error Reporting for TinyWall to prevent generating disk-eating report files
- Fix: Do not crash if Windows Firewall logs are absent, but continue without monitoring
- Fix: Check startability not just for direct service dependencies, but for the whole dependency graph
- Fix: Prevent controller crash when doing "Whitelist by window" on an app that has higher privileges
- Fix: Skype Home and Contacts cannot load
- Fix: Steam unable to browse store
- A new, more general method for crash handling
- Separate "Web browser" from "HTTP(S) client" profile
- Add streaming capabilities to "Web browser" profile
- Also allow port 25 for e-mail clients. This is just a hack for lousy providers.
- New applications support (mostly some download managers)
- Add "Important notice" page to setup
- If the uninstaller is not started using the tray application, notify the user about the correct way to uninstall

"Maybe this FW will give LnS some competition soon. I hope it becomes a very strong packet filtering Firewall, and highly configurable."
