Posted by: Joel, 23rd May 2012, 10:30 am +800GMT

Eraser 6.0.10 has been released today. This is a bugfix release which continues to build on the stability Eraser 6 series. All users are recommended to upgrade to this version.

Revision Description Author
2349-2351 Updated Italian translation. A. Ramacciotti
2401 Updated LZMA SDK for Bootstrapper to use the beta 9.22 SDK which is the only one available from 7-zip. Joel
2529 Improved Recycle Bin support for non-NTFS drives on Windows. Joel
2540 Fixed Scheduler display bug where tasks added using the Shell Context Menu could appear in the schedule as Not Queued even if it was configured to run automatically, if a task was already running. Joel
2547, 2550, 2554, 2562 Fixed dereferencing of non-volume reparse points. Erasing files in earlier versions when a reparse point was in a path could cause Eraser to refuse erasing the file. Joel
2563, 2565 Disable all entropy mixing algorithms except SHA-1 so that Eraser can continue to function even when FIPS mode is enabled under Windows XP. Joel
2564 Bug fix for CryptoAPI crash on startup under certain circumstances. Joel
2575 Fixed persistence of non-default erasure methods for erasure targets. Joel
2576 Allow users to exit from an invalid custom erasure method editor state if he clicks cancel or closes the dialog. Joel

Download/Hashes

It is important to note that users downgrading from 6.1 should delete their Task Lists (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Eraser 6\Task List.ersx) before running Eraser 6.0.x as that will result in a crash of 6.0.x builds. If you are upgrading from an earlier 6.0.x build, and especially if you have defined custom erasure methods or Plausible Deniability files, if upon upgrading Eraser refuses to start after the upgrade you can try deleting the task list (the same file as mentioned earlier) and if that fails, the HKCU\Software\Eraser\Eraser 6 registry key. Deleting the latter will result in a reset of all Eraser settings to defaults.
