Release v0.9.7 / 5.52.1 (pre-release)

[DavidXanatos]

This is a test build which includes a lot of internal changes, required for future features and improvements.
This build changes how the sandboxie.ini is handled, hence it is recommended to create a backup just in case.

If you have issues with an update installation, just uninstall the previous version keeping the sandboxie.ini and reinstall the new build.

You can support the project through donations, any help will be greatly appreciated.

The second sandbox disappeared in the Classic version after this update. Only the default box is displayed.
