-
Force overwrite of files in installer, since uninstallers from versions 0.78r5 through 0.81 do not remove npcap.sys, leading to mismatched driver vs DLL versions.
-
New installer commandline option to skip setting a restore point:
/disable_restore_point=yes
- Fix WiFi interruption with certain hardware. This is a regression introduced in Npcap 0.90, which had optimistically removed the fix from 0.10-r15.
-
Fix BSOD introduced in 0.85; Locking while being cleaned up is bad.
-
Fix WiFi interruption on Windows 7 in some circumstances, as demonstrated by inability to connect when Kaspersky Internet Security is installed.
- Fix BSOD introduced in 0.85; wrong driver build had been packaged. Fixes #840
- Fix BSOD by reverting to simpler pre-0.82 data structures but retaining the spinlock improvement that was the core of that fix.
- Fix a failure of 64-bit Npcap when installed in Admin-Only mode. #814
-
Fix a crash caused by recieving loopback traffic after Windows starts to sleep. #721
-
Don't override CLI installer options like
/wpcap_mode
when WinPcap is found. #717 -
Restore the uninstaller instruction that deletes the npcap driver files.
- Fix a crash that happened when many concurrent processes were using Npcap. If several of these quit during processing of a packet, the linked list of processes could become corrupted. Solved this by using a fixed array with copy-and-swap instead.
-
Moved distribution of executable installer to http://npcap.org/ from Github.
-
Write log files in UTF-8 encoding to preserve localized error messages.
-
Report human-readable error when LWF filter fails to be installed.

*NdisDeviceType=1
key to registry for Loopback adapter. Fixes #653

Fixed a few null pointer dereferences that may have led to Blue Screens under some scenarios.

Restored changes from 0.78 r2 through 0.78 r4 that were accidentally omitted from 0.78 r5.
-
Microsoft Attestation-signed drivers for Windows 10, required in Win10 1607. See #492
-
Removed Windows XP support from the executable installer. XP users can use WinPcap instead, as that is all that we were installing on that platform.
- Fixed the bug that "Npcap Loopback Adapter" can't be uninstalled.
- The uninstaller allows users to terminate processes that are using Npcap.
- The uninstaller lists the processes that are currently using Npcap, preventing a clean uninstall.
- The uninstaller warns when it is unable to delete DLLs that are in use by applications.
- Updated the WDK from 10.0.10586 to 10.0.14393.
- Improved the error message of invalid adapter name in WlanHelper.
- Built WlanHelper.exe in Unicode instead of Multi-Byte. This will fix the wrong display of non-English characters.
- Fixed the bug that some functions of WlanHelper.exe doesn't work.
- Fixed the bug that using Npcap to capture at the first time causes limited connectivity on Wi-Fi adapters.
- Fixed the bug that Npcap mode and WinPcap compatible mode can't use the loopback interface at the same time.
- Added the
/sign_mode
option for installer to choose to install SHA1-signed or SHA2-signed drivers.
- Fixed the issue that Nping shows both protocol unreachable and successful replies for "nping ".
- Fixed the issue that Nping shows both protocol unreachable and successful replies for "nping 127.0.0.1".
- The uninstaller will not show the finish page if run with "/Q".
- Fixed the BSoD that happens when the OS sleeps after using Npcap Loopback Adapter.
- Improved the error messages of WlanHelper.exe.
- Raw 802.11 capture is provided without re-installing the driver!

NPF_RemoveFromGroupOpenArray()
referenced the freed group head.

NPF_TapEx()
accessed the CPU buffer of theOPEN_INSTANCE
that was released.
- Fixed the bug that
PacketGetNetType()
doesn't return the correctDLT_NULL
value on Nmap.
