BleachBit, the open source system cleaner, announces the public 0.9.0 beta, which includes enhancements, bug fixes, and translation updates. Please help test.
These particular areas are a priority for testing:
- Clean Thunderbird
- In Google Chrome and Chromium, disable the setting for network prediction, close the browser, clean with BleachBit, restart the browser, and verify the setting has not changed.
- Clean cache for Chromium and Google Chrome.
- Edit bleachbit.ini and change "true" or "false" to some garbage value. Verify BleachBit starts (LP#799130).
- Linux
- Under GNOME 3 (Fedora 15, Arch Linux, etc.), clean System - Recent Documents. Verify the Recent Documents list is empty for GNOME and gedit.
- Under GNOME 3, set a custom wallpaper, and then clean System - Cache. Then log out of GNOME and get back in. Verify the wallpaper is OK.
- CentOS 6
- Windows
- Start many system processes (50?) that can be seen in Task Manager, and clean any part of Firefox. Verify BleachBit does not freeze.
- Verify BleachBit starts in all combinations of these situations (especially UAC disabled with standard user):
- Windows Vista or Windows 7
- Administrator or standard user
- UAC enabled or disabled
- Answer YES or NO to the UAC
- Portable mode or installed
- BleachBit.exe on a network drive, removable drive (USB), or hard drive (C:\)
- Translations
- Bengali
- Australian English
