TDI driver 1.4.4.6
- Added a new flag NF_DISABLE_REDIRECT_PROTECTION, allowing to disable blocking indicating connect requests for outgoing connections of local proxies.

- Implemented more correct handling of cancelled IRPs.
- Fixed a bug with blocking some F5 VPN connections.
- Fixed a random BSOD in case of low memory.
- Fixed an issue in nf_init function of nfapi code.
WFP driver 1.4.4.6
- Added a new flag NF_DISABLE_REDIRECT_PROTECTION, allowing to disable blocking indicating connect requests for outgoing connections of local proxies.
- Added a function nf_tcpIsProxy to nfapi. It returns TRUE if the specified process acts as a local proxy, accepting the redirected TCP connections.
- Scope id field is specified for IPv6 addresses.
- Fixed a compatibility issue with the latest versions of NOD32.
- Fixed a random BSOD in case of low memory.
- Added an exception in driver for compatibility with Avast.
- Fixed an issue related to suspending TCP receives for compatibility with some antiviruses.
WFP driver 1.4.3.9
- Fixed an issue with filtering received broadcast UDP datagrams.
- Windows 7 and Windows 8 versions of WFP driver are now located in different folders. Windows 8 version requires the latest WDK with Windows 8 headers, and must be built using MSVC 2012/2013. The project file is driver_wfp\Win8\Win8.vcxproj.
- Fixed blocking of TCP connections redirected to local proxy in the same process with filter on Windows 8.
WFP driver 1.4.3.6
- Implemented support for nfapi functions nf_disableFiltering, nf_tcpDisableFiltering, nf_udpDisableFiltering.
WFP driver 1.4.3.5
- Fixed an incompatibility with Kaspersky 2014 on Windows 8.1.
- If remote address and port are not changed in tcpConnectRequest, the driver doesn't update the connection properties to avoid blocking local connections on Windows 8. When a connection is redirected to local address Windows 8 requires process id of local proxy.
WFP driver 1.4.3.4
- WFP driver doesn't call tcpConnectRequest for local proxy processes.
WFP driver 1.4.3.3
- To redirect TCP connections to a local proxy using WFP it is necessary to specify process id of the proxy in NF_TCP_CONN_INFO.processId field from tcpConnectRequest event. The samples TcpRedirector and TcpRedirectorCS are updated accordingly.
WFP driver 1.4.3.2
- It is possible to redirect TCP connections in tcpConnectRequest event, in the same way as with TDI driver.
WFP driver 1.4.3.1
- Fixed an incompatibility with the latest versions of Symantec Endpoint.
- Fixed an issue in nf_init function of nfapi code.

TDI driver 1.4.2.8
- Fixed an issue with filtering OOB packets.
WFP driver 1.4.2.8

WFP driver 1.4.2.6
- Reduced memory usage on outgoing TCP data path.
- Fixed a minor issue in packet level filter.
- The weight of a packet level filter is updated to fix issues with Teredo traffic.
- Fixed an incompatibility with NOD32 on Windows 8.
WFP driver 1.4.2.2
- The weights of sublayers are updated for compatibility with Bitdefender and other antiviruses during filtering SSL.
- Fixed a memory leak in UDP filtering code.
- Added protection from unexpected TCP packets.
- Fixed an incompatibility with Avira on Windows 8.
- Fixed BSOD occured in tcpip.sys after trying to send packets via disconnected flow.
- The driver closes filtered connections more correctly when a filtering process detaches.
WFP driver 1.4.1.5
- Implemented a workaround for WFP bug disallowing filtering SSL when several drivers are used to filter TCP simultaneously.
- Fixed an infinite loop occured during filtering UDP when several drivers are used to filter TCP simultaneously.
WFP driver 1.4.1.4
- Implemented a workaround for WFP bug related to deferring inbound traffic. The filtering for NetBios connections is returned back.
build 1.4.1.2
- WFP level driver is added for using on Windows 7 and higher. It has better performance and compatibility with Windows 8.
- The driver uses shared memory for communications with user, for better performance. The new API (nfapi) doesn't work with older drivers, i.e. it is necessary to replace both API and driver, then reboot.
- Fixed an issue with filtering heavy UDP traffic.
build 1.4.1.0
- Fixed crashes on aborting TCP connections.
- Fixed an incompatibility with VIPRE antivirus.
build 1.4.0.7
- Fixed issues with filtering incoming RDP connections.
- Fixed issues with UDP sockets after close of filtering application.
- Fixed hangs in nfapi on server family operating systems.
build 1.4.0.3
- Fixed a race condition occured during closing sockets.
- Fixed incompatibility with Kaspersky during handling incoming TCP connections in driver code.
- Added API function nf_tcpSetSockOpt, allowing to turn off Nagle and set other options for active TCP sockets.
- Real local address, assigned after routing, is indicated in tcpConnected event.
- Fixed a race condition in event handlers in driver code.
build 1.3.9.8
- Fixed issues in driver registration code in nfapi.
- Optimized IO code to reduce the usage of stack in driver.
- Fixed issues in the algorithm that disables filtering for TCP and UDP sockets.
- Added new API function nf_disableFiltering(). If this function is called before nf_free(), the driver tries to detach from filtered connections and avoid breaking them after closing the filtering application. If the packets are filtered asynchronously in a separate thread, make sure that the queue is flushed before a call to nf_disableFiltering().
build 1.3.9.6
- Bugfixes in nfapi code.
- nf_getProcessName uses QueryFullProcessImageName on Vista and later versions of Windows.
