Dotfuscator Change Log

• Resolved issue when opening a solution via Visual Studio integration that contains renaming type exclusions.
• Resolved issue that reported a version mismatch when building a solution using MSBuild that contains a Managed C++ project.
• Resolved issue when obfuscating Silverlight 2 assemblies that contain no XAML.

Dotfuscator 4.4 Initial Public Release.

• Added Shelf Life—the ability to add application end-of-life behavior to your application via post-build instrumentation.
• Added the ability to preserve selected Property and Event names when renaming.
• New custom inclusion and exclusion rules allow types to be selected based on inheritance relationships.
• Added user preferences support in the user interface.
• Added an opt-in based Customer Feedback Program (that uses PreEmptive’s Runtime Intelligence Services).
• Changed the default behavior of the renaming algorithm such that it no longer can rename an overriding method differently from the method it overrides.  There is now an option (in the UI on the renaming options tab) to switch back to the old behavior.
• Added dotfuscatorUI.exe to the distribution, an interface to the standalone UI that is compiled as a GUI application rather than as a console mode application.

Dotfuscator 4.3 Initial Public Release.

• Smart Obfuscation has been greatly expanded to include detection of data bound controls, enum type values used as strings, Visual Basic .NET late calls, and custom serialization scenarios.
• Smart Obfuscation now has a reporting facility that provides information about what actions it is performing and why.
• The Renaming and Removal tabs now include Built-In rules, some of which are active by default. These are standard rules for excluding common items from renaming or removal.

• Application Tamper Defense now can be configured to inject code that exits an application when tampering is detected.
• RIS Tamper Messages can now contain user defined information by leveraging extended keys.

• The Dotfuscator project in the Visual Studio Integration UI now allows a user to explicitly set a particular output assembly as the key output.
• Improved the way Dotfuscator resigns strongly named assemblies, so resigning works consistently across all versions of .NET and Visual Studio.
• Added tabbed output panes to the standalone UI.

• General: Improved handling of forwarded types
• UI: Graphics Update
• Renamer: Fixed issue with "refsrename" option that was causing a NullReferenceException in some situations
