• Shred files found by cleaners. (Enable overwriting in the preferences.)
• Shred files (preferably with ridiculously long filenames) by clicking File - Shred Files.
• Wipe free disk space. (This may take 10-30 minutes depending on how much free disk space you have.)
• Review the new documentation "Shred files and wipe disks".
• Test Kurdish translation.
• Windows
  • Install BleachBit on Windows. During installation, uncheck translations. Set the Windows language something other than English. Start and exit BleachBit: there should be no error message.
  • Start BleachBit on Windows XP with language set to non-English. BleachBit should start. Then, preview cleaners which use %localappdata% such as Firefox: the preview should show some files.
  • Delete form history in Internet Explorer 7 and 8. Verify it is really gone.
  • Delete user assist history: it is included in Windows Explorer - Most Recently Used.

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