Viscosity For Windows: Version 1.11.4

Viscosity version 1.11.4 is now available for Windows! It brings improvements to the DNS engine, an updated version of OpenSSL, as well as many small bug fixes and enhancements.

In particular, the performance of the DNS engine for both Full and Split DNS has been significantly improved, with faster responses and improved memory consumption. It also resolves an issue that could result in large memory spikes when receiving an invalid or malformed DNS reply from a DNS server. The chance of receiving an invalid reply should be extremely low, however we observed that some DNS servers may reply with a corrupted reply when under heavy load. Some home routers, as well as some virtual machine solutions (notably VMWare Fusion), can exhibit this behaviour when a large volume of requests are made.
