What's new in this version:

Added:
- added Privacy enhanced mode, sandboxes with "UsePrivacyMode=y" will not allow read access to locations containing user data
- all locations except generic Windows system paths will need to be opened explicitly for read and/or write access
- using "NormalFilePath=...", "NormalKeyPath=...", "NormalIpcPath=..." allows to open locations to be readable and sandboxed
- added new "App Compartment" mode of operation, it's enabled by adding "NoSecurityIsolation=y" to the box configuration
- in this mode, security is traded in for compatibility, it should not be used for untrusted applications
- note: in this mode, file and registry filtering are still in place, hence processes run without administrative privileges
- it is reasonably safe, all filtering can be disabled with "NoSecurityFiltering=y"
- added experimental use of ObRegisterCallbacks to filter object creation and duplication
- this filtering is independent from the regular SbieDrv's syscall-based filtering, hence it also applies to App Compartments
- with it enabled, an application running in a compartment will not be able to manipulate processes running outside the sandbox
- Note: this feature improves the security of unisolated App Compartment boxes
- to enable this feature, set "EnableObjectFiltering=y" in the global section and reload the driver
- when globally activated, the filtering can be disabled for individual boxes with "DisableObjectFilter=y"
- added "DontOpenForBoxed=n", this option disables the discrimination of boxed processes for open file and open key directives
- this behaviour does not really improve security anyways, but may be annoying, also app compartments always disable this
- added setting to entirely open access to the COM infrastructure

Changed:
- reworked the resource access path matching mechanism to optionally apply more specific rules over less specific ones
- for example "OpenFilePath=C:\User\Me\AppData\Firefox takes precedence over "WriteFilePath=C:\User\Me"
- to enable this new behaviour, add "UseRuleSpecificity=y" to your Sandboxie.ini, this behaviour is always enabled in Privacy enhanced mode
- added "NormalFilePath=..." to restore default Sandboxie behaviour on a given path
- added "OpenConfPath=...", which similarly to "OpenPipePath=..." is a "OpenKeyPath=..." variant which applies to executables located in the sandbox
- removed option to copy a box during creation, instead the box context menu offers a duplication option
- reworked the box creation dialog to offer new box types

Fixed:
- SBIE1401 notification during Sandboxie Plus uninstall
- memory leak in driver handling FLT_FILE_NAME_INFORMATION
