To view issues you may encounter when using Alchemy that we are working to address in future releases, see Known Issues.

AppAcceleratorV

4.6.2403.08022 (released 25th March 2024)

Fixes a bug that previously caused the app to crash due to an invalid buffer being passed to NtQueryValueKey.

4.6.2403.28016 (released 19th March 2024)

This release provides an improvement to 32-bit context menus. Previously, query flags were not passed from the main Context Menu Proxy to the 32bitCOMConfigCollector. Now, query flags are passed to the 32bitCOMConfigCollector.

4.6.2402.28013 (released 5th March 2024)

Package Runtimes

4.6.2403.3503 (released 19th March 2024)

This release improves clean-up that occurs during uninstall. Previously, only the registry for the current user performing the uninstall was removed. Now, all registries are removed during uninstall, including those for service accounts.

This release also includes support for 32-bit context menus being deployed on 64-bit machines.

Test Harness

1.0.2403.13 (released 13th March 2024)

This is the initial release for the Test Harness, a new feature that allows for the quick deployment and testing of a Compatibility Package. The Test Harness aims to increase the probability of knowing that a Compatibility Package functions as intended and will ensure the package is uninstalled after being tested, leaving the machine in the same state it was in prior to the test.

For more information, read Test Harness.
