All notable changes to this project are documented here. The format follows Keep a Changelog and the project uses semantic versioning.
0.3.0 - 2026-08-01
- Seven reviewed cleanup rules for Outlook WebView, Tencent applications, VS Code, Codex desktop caches, and stale Perfect World updater packages.
- Explicit Chromium shader, Dawn, component, and extension download cache coverage for Chrome and Edge.
- Open-folder and copy-path commands in Space Analysis, available from the toolbar, double-click, Enter, and the row context menu.
- Regression boundaries for browser site data, local AI models, OneDrive, OpenAI runtimes, Tencent user/plugin data, VS Code user state, IDM downloads, and protected Windows stores.
- A review-required administrator rule for Windows kernel dumps older than 14 days under
LiveKernelReportsandMinidump.
- Expanded the embedded catalog from 21 to 29 rules while keeping new vendor-specific and dump rules review-required except for the narrowly scoped Outlook WebView cache.
- Narrowed Tencent Meeting cleanup from its WebView profile root to explicit Cache, Code Cache, GPU, Dawn, shared-dictionary, and shader cache leaves.
- Documented the local C-drive audit, including large directories intentionally excluded from raw deletion.
- Documented a Storage Sense/USN comparison that identified old live-kernel dumps as a missing system-level candidate while retaining the conservative 48-hour user-temp boundary.
0.2.1 - 2026-07-28
- Batched UI audit-log rendering so large cleanups do not flood the WinForms message queue with one update per skipped or failed file.
- Report the active cleanup rule before it begins, keeping the status bar and progress indicator responsive during large cache cleanup.
0.2.0 - 2026-07-28
- Non-blocking stable-release checks against the fixed CDriveCare GitHub API endpoint.
- A toolbar command for manual checks and a clickable status-bar notice when a newer release exists.
--no-update-checkfor fully offline startup.- Version/URL validation tests that reject non-SemVer tags, HTTP links, other hosts, and other repositories.
- Local
build.ps1now compiles and tests only. - GitHub Actions is the sole official packaging and release path.
- Tag-triggered releases verify the tag, executable file version, release notes, ZIP, and SHA-256 assets before publication.
0.1.0 - 2026-07-27
- Native single-file WinForms application for Windows 10 and 11.
- Twenty-one reviewed cleanup rules: 18 age-gated file rules, one Recycle Bin action, and two Windows-managed actions.
- Browser, application, NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, WER, temporary-file, thumbnail, and recycle-bin coverage.
- Read-only embedded
rules.jsoncatalog with strict missing/unknown/duplicate field rejection, fail-closed startup validation, and a manifest SHA-256. - Daily and Deep selection modes; neither mode auto-selects the Recycle Bin or Windows-managed actions.
- Separate review-required user and machine WER rules, with administrator scope for machine reports.
- Supported Windows actions for Delivery Optimization and component-store cleanup.
- Read-only PnPUtil driver inventory export.
- Parallel, read-only AppData large-folder analysis.
- Windows Known Folder resolution, canonical and protected-path checks, and Reparse Point rejection without arbitrary environment expansion.
- Handle-based final physical-path, age, size, and replacement validation for file candidates; directories are never deleted.
- Handle-validated, unique-file output for audit logs and driver reports, including safe log rotation.
- Per-run local audit logs with 30-day/20-file rotation, cancellation, estimated bytes, file counts, and actual free-space comparison.
- Safe cancellation semantics that let an active Windows maintenance command finish before skipping later items.
- A safety test suite and deterministic PowerShell build/package script.
