Eraser 5.85 BETA 1

[Joel]

Hello,

I'm announcing the publish of Eraser 5.85 BETA 1. This is a BETA RELEASE containing bugfixes of those reported in the Bug forum. If your bug is reported to have been fixed, please try this download to confirm that it indeed has been fixed.

Please do not complain if your disk is screwed at the end of this, really. It is a beta (but no writing code has changed). Count yourself warned.

UNINSTALL 5.84 before installing this version. We use different installers (back to inno).

• Eraser when right-click and dragging files, two Eraser Secure Move menu items appear
• Eraser does not document the first/last 2k erase for EraserL.exe
• Fixed potentially missing Eraser.dll in 64 bit release
• CLSIDs should be cleaned up nicely upon uninstall
• No erasure report is generated if the user disables it in preferences and erases the recycle bin using the right click
• If you are not using English Windows, the Default.ers file should be saved correctly

Joel I will wait for a later release before I check the install / uninstall as there seems to be problems with this beta.

[Joel]

No, the beta is fine for uninstall/install. The problem was with my installer set up.
