Staff jboursier Posted June 29, 2021 Staff ID:1466227 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Hello, We are happy to announce the immediate availability of AdwCleaner 8.3.0 after several months of work! We rewrote the updater module from scratch. It is now more secure, more robust, and maintain channels consistency across updates (which means that updating from AdwCleaner Beta will upgrade to the next AdwCleaner Beta, whereas we forced the upgrade to AdwCleaner stable previously). On the same topic, the release channel (Alpha, Beta) is now displayed on the title bar to clear up confusions about which mode AdwCleaner is running in. Internally, we made our handling of JSON objects more robust and easier to maintain on the long-run. This should for instance reduce/eliminate bugs in the quarantine, the settings, the exclusions... We also reduced the number of external hosts AdwCleaner communicates with to only adwcleaner.malwarebytes.com:443. Firewall ACLs can be adjusted to only allow this domain going forward. We finally fixed various issues about some command-line arguments that were incorrectly parsed which fixes a few side-effect issues. As usual, the changelog is available below: ## v8.3.0 [29/06/2021] ### New Features * Rewritten updater. It now keeps track of the previous channel and uses it for the updated version. * When running in non-release mode (e.g alpha or beta) the channel is displayed on the title bar. * Make the database update channel distinct from the product update channel (for instance it makes it possible to use AdwCleaner alpha with a beta database). ### Changes * Improve handling of json operations. * Update Malwarebytes branding to "Cyberprotection for everyone". * Consolidate most external urls to "adwcleaner.malwarebytes.com". * Update definitions to 2021.06.29.1 * Update translations. ### Bugfixes * Make the updater more robust as sometimes the updater didn't launch the new AdwCleaner version. * Make the GUI arguments parsing more robust. * Fix some cut-off buttons rendering in Brazilian Portuguese AdwCleaner can be downloaded from the Product page: https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner Edited June 29, 2021 by jboursier 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
