BitDefender Free Edition

What's new in this version:

Fixed:
- Fenix.exe and new WinSVC version 2.0.14 added. Plus, a new feature to delete the Fenix task from Task Scheduler in Windows when uninstalling Prey
- Feature to call WinSVC added to detect and recognize when a new version is found and an autoupdate event is starting.
- Now get_status accepts more than one callback when finished, this prevents errors when get_status gets two or more calls. This fix helps to get more precise device status information.
- Repository unit and functional tests fixes.
- Wi-Fi connection order improvement before sending it to backend to optimize location accuracy.
- Addition of prey_restarts.log to Windows to learn the unix timestamps of the last 5 restarts.
- Email alerts for geofence configurations issues fixed. It was presenting problems when going online and offline too fast.
- Acknowledge message to server added, in order to inform reception and acceptance of actions from server.
- Proxy usage fix for Prey client. In versions 1.11.2 - 1.11.3 there was a problem with that portion of the code that made Prey restart itself over and over until user changes try_proxy property inside prey.conf file.
- Fixes proxy usage for Prey client. In versions 1.11.2 - 1.11.3 there was a problem with that portion of the code that made Prey restart itself over and over until user changes try_proxy property inside prey.conf file
- Fix implemented so Prey is the owner of the database for macOS 13.3 and later. The database used to be owned by root, causing errors and leaving Prey without permissions.
- Fix in get_active_access_point for Windows. In some cases, this function for obtaining Wi-Fi networks didn’t return any information, causing the Prey client to restart.
- File changes to delete/modify deprecated code. Since Prey is running over different versions of NodeJS binary, some code gets deprecated from version to version, so the code was changed in order to keep it clean and functioning.
- Library Archiver updated to 5.3.1. Archiver is needed to zip log files and some other Prey files when log retrieval is working, so when the NodeJS version is 16.18.0, Archiver’s version needed to be 5.3.1 or above.
- New way of killing-off services for uninstallment implemented in Windows. Prey needs to kill the node service in order to delete the folder in Windows. Trying to kill it only using taskkill.exe may not work, so Prey added a new way to kill it.
- Location fix added in Ubuntu to validate MAC address and obtain more accurate locations.
- Prey’s files in temp removed. Deleting temporary files left by Prey client when installing.
- Now sending Prey user’s binary version to Prey backend in order to retrieve more data from each device
