  • Try the Farese translation.
  • Linux
    • Delete recent documents in GNOME 2.28 - 2.30 (e.g., Ubuntu Karmic Kaola and Lucid Lynx)

  • Windows
    • Test with various anti-virus programs: BitDefender, AVG, McAfee, Symantec Avast, etc.

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

Bugs

On Windows in the Preferences dialog, BleachBit does not use the native Windows file dialogs: instead you will see the GTK+ dialogs.

Remember: beta releases are more likely to contain bugs and are recommended only for testing. Use with caution.
