Hello all,

I've spent a bit of time recently working on Eraser v5 and I'm glad to announce the release of Eraser 5.8.7-beta 3. This release contains about a dozen fixes and includes both the standard installed version as well as the portable version.

Changelog
  • Fixed command line error when selecting subfolders to be erased with the parent folder
  • Fixed a few issues with EraserL creating a registry key after an erase
  • Fixed the weird bug of right-clicking the various erase methods and Eraser hangs. Hopefully this resolves the problem of the file/folder selection dialog blinking and resetting the selections.
  • Implemented NTFS EFS file erasure (EXPERIMENTAL!)
  • Further complicate forensics: Set MACE to invalid values (NTFS only)
  • Fixed #6: Incorrect 'When Finished' option
  • Implemented #37: Eraser should not allow system to hibernate or standby when running
  • Fixed #36: Eraser overriding Windows hotkeys in context menu
  • Fixed #48: Inaccurate determination of process elevation
  • Do not create "New Eraser Document" in the New context menu of Explorer when using a Portable version

Do post bugs for both releases on Trac. A stable 5.8.7 will be targeted for Sunday.

Regards,
Joel
