6.1.255.1291 RC

Disclaimer Adguard for Windows is not an open source project. We use github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.

The last release candidate showed the need for some honing, so here's another one. The most important problem we address here is the incorrect handling of some userscripts.

[Changed] Adguard won't see modern apps #1249
[Fixed] Assistant is not working on online-freebee.net #1232
[Fixed] Extended css rules change requires protection restart to be applied #1244
[Fixed] Bug preventing some userscripts from working properly #1247

6.1.252.1283 RC

Disclaimer Adguard for Windows is not an open source project. We use github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.

We made you wait for a while before releasing another release candidate. It is mostly because we were working on a very important addition: extended selectors support. You can read below what is so crucial about it, along with the rest of the changelod.

[Added] Support for extended selectors #1225

This is a technical term, but what hides behind it? With extended selectors support, we can much more easily create some rules that were very, very hard to create earlier. Notably, this concerns rules required to block such things as 'Sponsored posts' on Facebook.

[Fixed] Hebrew localization mistakes #1076
[Fixed] Unicode symbols are broken in javascript rules #1234
[Fixed] Multiple Adguard.Tools.exe issue #1229
[Fixed] Grammarly plugin compatibility issue #1231
[Fixed] HTTPS requests are displayed as HTTP in Filtering log #1237
[Fixed] Incorrect userscript auto-detection #1241

6.1.251.1269 RC

Disclaimer Adguard for Windows is not an open source project. We use github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.

Only two days passed since the last beta update, and everything seems to be fine with it. It means that today we are ready to publish a release candidate. Release candidates don't often come with a big changelog, and this RC is not an exception.

[Changed] Default Assistant icon placement adjustment on vk.com #1166
[Fixed] Adguard Assistant compatibility issue with Opera dev #1173
[Fixed] License screen issue in Russian localization #424

6.1.249.1233 beta

Disclaimer Adguard for Windows is not an open source project. We use github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.

During last beta update, one big mistake slipped in. Upon the update, 'Advnaced settings' had a chance to completely disappear. This hotfix negates this problem (#1199).

6.1.245.1212 beta

Disclaimer Adguard for Windows is not an open source project. We use github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.

This beta features one addition to settings screen (userscript handling), along with a bunch of networking fixes and minor issues.

[Added] Userscripts handling #1172

We adopted a new way of handling user.js (userscript) files. Now Adguard will automatically detect when user.js file was processed. If it is a valid userscript, Adguard will open a dialog window, offering user to install it. Of course, this setting will be optional and possible to turn off through settings.

Disclaimer Adguard for Windows is not an open source project. We use github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.

This beta introduces 'Advanced settings' section along with other, more minor changes.

[Added] 'Advanced' settings window #1069

Our Adguard for Android users are already familiar with the concept of Advanced settings. We include there settings which, in our opinion, should not be changed by regular users, but only by experienced users, or after a conversation with our support team. This beta introduces Advanced setting for Adguard for Windows. It doesn't offer a plethora of different settings yet, but will be supplemented with more in future releases.
