What's new in this version:

Added:
- global hotkey to terminate all boxed processes (by default Ctrl+Break)
the Run Sandboxed dialog can now be handled by the Sandman UI.
- "AllowBoxedJobs=y" allowing boxed processes to use nested jobs on Windows 8 and later note: this allows Chrome and other programs to use the job system for additional isolation
- librewolf.exe to the list of Firefox derivatives
- run regedit sandboxed menu command
- new support settings tab to Sandman UI for updates and stuff
- code integrity verification to Sbie service and UI
- template for Vivaldi Notes
- LibreWolf template

Changed:
- Replaced the Process List used by the driver with a much faster Hash Map implementation
- Note: this change provides an almost static system call speed of 1.2us irregardless of the running process count
- The old list, with 100 programs running required: 4.5µs; with 200: 12µs; and with 300: 18µs per syscall
- Note: some of the slowdown was affecting also non sandboxed applications due to how the driver handles certain callbacks
- Replaced the per-process Thread List used by the driver with a much faster Hash Map implementation
- Replaced configuration section list with a hash map to improve configuration performance, and increased line limit to 100000
- not yet enabled in production build
- the presence of default box is only checked on connect
- the portable dir dialog now shows the directory #924
- when terminated boxed processes now we first try doing that by terminating the job object
- the driver now by default can terminate problematic processes without the help of the service
- box delete routine now retries up to 10 times to fix #954
- Replaced the Process List used by the service with a much faster Hash Map implementation
- Replaced the per-process Thread List used by the service with a much faster Hash Map implementation

Fixed:
- faulty initialization in SetServiceStatus
- buttons position in Classic UI settings
- missing password length check in the Sandman UI
- issues opening job objects by name
- missing permission check when reopening job object handles
- issue with some Chromium 90+ hooks affecting PDF plugin in derived browsers
- issues with reconnecting broken LPC ports used for communication with SbieSvc
- minor setting issue
- minor UI issue with resource access COM settings
- an issue with NtQueryKey using NtQueryObject instead
- crash in key.c when failing to resolve key paths
added workaround for topmost modality issue
-- the notification window is not only topmost for 5 seconds
- an issue deleting directories introduced in 5.49.5
- an issue when creating box copies
- performance bug introduced in 0.8.5

Removed:
- removed switch for "BlockPassword=n" as it does not seem to be working
- it's recommended to use "OpenSamEndpoint=y" to allow for password change in windows 10
