value is changed was removed. From now on, the refresh must be trigerred manually.

- Fixed: If all advanced notifications settings are unchecked the notifications
are not displayed anymore.
- Fixed: Context menu from Manage Rules window is missing if no rule is selected.
- Fixed: The content of the uninstall dialog is showing outside of the displaying
area if the content contains more lines than the default expected size.
- New: Added a new button in the Security tab which allows the user to add all groups 
from the existing rules. This will not add Windows 10 specific groups that start 
with "@{".
- Improved: When deleting an authorized group from the Security tab, the selection
remains empty. Pressing the delete key does not work until the user manually selects
a new item from the list. The next item is now automatically selected.
- Reverted: The protocol used for a new rule created from the notification dialog
will be ANY if the user does not customize the rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's new in version 4.6.2.0 (14.02.2016)

- Fixed: In some circumstances Secure Rules gets enabled even if it disabled in the
Security tab. If authorized groups are not already defined, this would delete all the
rules which are not in the default groups "Windows Firewall Control" and "Temporary Rules".

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's new in version 4.6.1.0 (12.02.2016)

- New: New Security tab was added in the Main Panel which contains the Secure Boot
and the new improved Secure Rules feature which automatically removes the rules that
are added to a different Group than the defined list of authorized group names. This
adds the possibility to the operating system to add required rules without being 
deleted anymore by WFC because Secure Rules was enabled. Also, unwanted firewall rules 
that may have been added before the start of WFC service can be detected this way.
- Updated: The internal logging mechanism was simplified and updated to offer more
information about the events that are logged.
- Updated: A new rule created from the notification dialog without customizing it,
is created for Any protocol. From now on it will be created for the protocol that 
appears in the notification. This change applies also for the rules created automatically
for digitally signed programs when Low notification level is used.
- Fixed: The search from Connections Log works very slow compared to the search from 
Manage Rules.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's new in version 4.6.0.0 (01.01.2016)

- Improved: Many PNG images from the user interface have been replaced with scalable
vector images in order to improve the scalling and the effects. The readability of 
the user interface was increased for the cases when bright colors are used or high 
contrast Windows themes.
- Improved: The logic behind the Display combo box from Connections Log was updated 
to improve the speed when loading the most recent entries.
- Fixed: In Windows 10, if the network is not initialized when the service is starting, 
the service may appear to be started normally even if it is in faulted state. Now, 
the service closes properly if it fails on startup and will be automatically restarted 
correctly.
- Fixed: The parser for Security log entries reads and displays wrong remote addresses 
in Connections Log for some operating systems which are not in English language.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Entries between version 1.0.0.0 (February 2010) and 4.6.0.0 (January 2016) were removed
on purpose to reduce the size of the change log file.
