BleachBit 0.6.0 released - System Cleaner for Windows and Linux
BleachBit cleans unnecessary files to free disk space and maintain privacy.
The privacy and disk space cleaner for Linux and Windows
BleachBit Version 0.6.0 is a major release of BleachBit, the free and open source file and privacy cleaner for Linux and Windows. This release includes new and improved cleaners, a safety feature, enhanced CleanerML for writing new cleaners, bug fixes, small performance improvements, and improved translations.
Changes BleachBit 0.6.0
The following changes are included since 0.5.4:
* Stay alert: the Delete and Preview buttons are swapped, so the order is now more logical.
* Clean the typed history in Opera.
* Clean Opera 10 beta.
* Refuse to clean these applications while they are running: APT, Epiphany, Evolution, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Skype.
* When previewing or deleting, the list of files continuously scroll to the ends providing a real-time status.
* In case of permissions error when shredding a file, fall back to simple delete.
* Clean Pidgin cached buddies' avatars thanks to Danilo Piazzalunga.
* Add SQLite vacuuming action to CleanerML.
* Change to a plugin-based action-handling system. This change is not visible to end users, but it makes it easier to add new types of cleaners in CleanerML. Already this system is used for SQLite vacuuming and for APT.
* Make small performance improvements.
* Fix some potential crashes on startup.
* Specific to Linux
o Clean APT as if running 'apt-get clean' thanks to MixCool.
o Clean APT by running 'apt-get autoremove'.
o Clean Downloader for X (d4x) thanks to MixCool.
o Clean EasyTag thanks to juancarlospaco and MixCool.
o Clean Evolution thanks to MixCool.
o Clean Liferea.
* Specific to Windows
o BleachBit for Microsoft Windows is no longer considered a preview release.
o Clean more MRU's for Windows Media Player.
o Clean more Adobe Reader MRU's.
o Empty the Recycle Bin.
o Delete locked files on Windows by marking them for deletion when Windows restarts. This particularly helps deleting Internet Explorer's index.dat files. So far deleting locked files works better on Windows XP than on Vista.
o Automatically detect the language thanks to Adrián García. The setting can be changed in Control Panel-> Regional and Language Options -> Standards and formats.
o Fix localization of GTK+ itself. This means a more thorough translation.
