Full Release Notes
## ๐ Release Notes
- PAC: To better utilize the geosite database and adapt to the needs of our users, we added options for direct and proxied groups. They are currently only available for modifications in `gui-config.json`. GUI with the feature fully supported is coming in v5.
- Generation modes: __whitelist__ mode and __blacklist__ mode
- When `geositePreferDirect` is false (default), PAC works in whitelist mode. Exception rules are generated from `geositeDirectGroups`. Unmatched domains goes through the proxy.
- When `geositePreferDirect` is true, PAC works in blacklist mode. Blocking rules are generated from `geositeProxiedGroups`. Exception rules are generated from `geositeDirectGroups`. Unmatched domains are connected to directly.
- Domain groups: `geositeDirectGroups` and `geositeProxiedGroups`.
- `geositeDirectGroups` is initialized with `cn` and `geolocation-!cn@cn`.
- `geositeProxiedGroups` is initialized with `geolocation-!cn`.
- The new default values make sure that:
- When in whitelist mode, Chinese domains, including non-Chinese companies' Chinese CDNs, are connected to directly.
- When in blacklist mode, only non-Chinese domains goes through the proxy. Chinese domains, as well as non-Chinese companies' Chinese CDNs, are connected to directly.
- WPF: This release includes a new update prompt window that shows release notes for you. We have also reimplemented `ForwardProxyView`, `HotkeysView`, `OnlineConfigView` in WPF. Your feedback is welcome on these new UIs.
- Fixes and improvements
- We fixed an issue where in certain locales, the PAC generation crashes the application (#2986).
- We have improved the stability by adding a validation of the geosite group configuration. Invalid settings will be automatically reset to default (and logged).
- `pac.txt` is now automatically regenerated on version updates. You can turn it off by changing `regeneratePacOnUpdate` to false.
- Cleanup: Only one `HttpClient` instance is used throughout the lifecycle. `StringEx.CS` along with many other unnecessary stuff has been removed. All dependencies have been updated to the latest versions.
