Submitted by andrew on Tue, 08/12/2014 - 20:57

BleachBit, the open source system cleaner, announces the public 1.3 beta which includes enhancements, bug fixes, and translation updates. Please help test today.

These particular areas are a priority for testing:

  • Google Chrome should clean thoroughly and without errors.
  • Firefox should clean thoroughly (see LP#1326626) and without errors.
  • Adobe Reader
  • GIMP 2.8 temporary files
  • Liferea
  • Specific to Linux
    • Test on CentOS 7
    • Firefox cache should be cleaned by the Firefox - Cache option and not System - Cache (LP#1295826)).
    • Easytag history
    • Links2 (web browser) history
    • VLC network streams history (see GH#15)
  • Specific to Windows
    • Winapp2.ini entries with %ProgramFiles% expand properly on 64-bit systems, so compared to BleachBit 1.2, you may see more Winapp2 cleaners detected. Also, compared to version 1.2, more files should be cleaned.
    • Wildcards expand properly in Detect=, so you may see new Winapp2 cleaners compared to BleachBit 1.2.

Since BleachBit 1.0, odd-numbered minor versions are beta releases, so BleachBit 1.3 is the beta release for 1.4 stable.

To look for regressions follow the standard tests on the Testing page.
