Summary

Security improvements

There are no new security improvements in this release. This update is cumulative and contains all previously released security improvements.

Quality and reliability improvements

WPF1

- Addresses an issue where DWM failures can cause WPF's render thread to fail. An app can opt-in to the behavior of ignoring all DwmFlush errors by setting a regkey in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics\IgnoreDwmFlushErrors or HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics\IgnoreDwmFlushErrors whose name is the full path to the .exe that wants to opt-in, and whose DWORD value is 1.

- Addresses an issue of WPF apps not working with "Text Cursor Indicator" enabled when using RichTextBox.

Winforms

- Improved the hardened rendering of ComboBox controls on 64 bit architectures.

- Improved the reliability of data-bound ComboBox controls under assistive technology.

.NET Runtime

- Addresses several issues that would cause too many garbage collections under high memory load. The part of the change that reduces the number of blocking generation 2 collections under high memory load is considered a tuning change and is only active if the GCConserveMemory setting is set to a non-zero value. The part of the change that reduces needless generation 0 collections is considered an improvement and is always active.

- Adjusted GC Heap Hard Limit configuration, as well as processor interpretation for .NET Framework container scenarios.

Workflow

- Addresses an issue when users interact with the Workflow Designer they might encounter incorrectly disabled context menu items when right clicking on a variable in the component variables list..
