## 1.9.5

### Bundle Identifier updates in Apple platform clients

Due to problems with our old Apple developer account,
we can only change Bundle Identifiers to re-list sing-box apps,
which means the data will not be automatically inherited.

For iOS, you need to back up your old data yourself (if you still have access to it);  
for tvOS, you need to re-import profiles from your iPhone or iPad or create it manually;  
for macOS, you can migrate the data folder using the following command:

```bash
cd ~/Library/Group\ Containers && \ 
  mv group.io.nekohasekai.sfa group.io.nekohasekai.sfavt
```

## 1.9.0

### `domain_suffix` behavior update

For historical reasons, sing-box's `domain_suffix` rule matches literal prefixes instead of the same as other projects.

sing-box 1.9.0 modifies the behavior of `domain_suffix`: If the rule value is prefixed with `.`,
the behavior is unchanged, otherwise it matches `(domain|.+\.domain)` instead.

### `process_path` format update on Windows

The `process_path` rule of sing-box is inherited from Clash,
the original code uses the local system's path format (e.g. `\Device\HarddiskVolume1\folder\program.exe`),
but when the device has multiple disks, the HarddiskVolume serial number is not stable.

sing-box 1.9.0 make QueryFullProcessImageNameW output a Win32 path (such as `C:\folder\program.exe`),
which will disrupt the existing `process_path` use cases in Windows.
