Eraser 5.8 released

[englishmen]

For those of you who like me still use eraser there is a new version available, its been 3 years since the last version so you would expect a load of changes but there isn't. I suppose in some way its a good thing there wasn't much to fault with the last version.

Maybe it is so good, that it havent needed any updates?

Glad to see the project is still alive though.

 

Eraser is very good software for secure erasing of data.

I tried it and it messed up my right click context menu, putting extra spaces and lines in (thankfully fixed just by uninstalling) so sticking with old version for now.
