1.0.1383.25189 (15 Oct 2003)
- Evidence CleanUp:
- Pending file operations are no longer processed.
- Added program icons defined in plugins and plugin info (author/version) to log view (like in Options).
- Improved error handling in reading plugins.
- Added several new functions to plugins (will document shortly).
- Ad-aware plugin:
- Log file section: if log file directory in Ad-aware was set to its program directory (Ad-aware does this when the log file directory doesn't exist), CleanUp would delete the program directory. Now, just AdAware-log*.txt is deleted from the log file directory, instead of the entire directory.
- Usage statistics section was causing 'in depth scanning' option in Ad-aware to become deselected because they cleverly put this option in the EngineStats section of the INI file, which CleanUp was deleting.

- Added Microsoft Picture Manager (Office 2003) group.
- File CleanUp:
- Added scan masks:
Warning: if you already have a previous version of CleanUp installed, you will need to go into Options, File CleanUp tab, and click on Defaults for these changes to take effect, but by doing so, you will lose any custom scan masks you have set up.
- Ignore %WinDir%\Assembly directory (used by .NET Framework), was previously returning files in this directory.
- Include *.evt (Event Logs).
- Shortcut CleanUp:
- Fixed bug where shortcut naming rules weren't being saved (in Options), so the defaults would always be used.
- Changed Evidence CleanUp, File CleanUp and Shortcut CleanUp to use a separate thread for cleaning/searching. This makes it slightly faster and no longer pauses on user interaction (scrolling, context menu open, etc.).
- Improved code that deletes a directory and all subdirectories/files (used by Evidence CleanUp and File CleanUp).
- Added Registry CleanUp: just finds empty keys/values for now.
Warning: as with File CleanUp, just because this lists a registry key/value, it does NOT necessarily mean it's safe to delete.
- Added Driver Backups: allows you to view and delete the previous versions of drivers backed up by Device Manager.
- Fixed Options taking ages to open while it reads plugins. Now opens immediately and reads plugins on a separate thread.
- Removed 'Show grid lines in listview' option. Now, grid lines are always shown.
- Fixed dates/times always being displayed in UK date format (dd/mm/yyyy) and 24-hour time. Now, local date/time format (as defined in Control Panel, Regional and Language Options) is used.
- Updated installer to display what version it is about to install, and to add more information to its uninstall entry in Add/Remove programs (Win2000/XP/2003 only).

- Outlook Express
- NetMeeting
- Windows Media Player
- Organised into groups.
- Added the following groups:
- Microsoft Backup
- Internet Information Services
- Movie Maker

Note: Because this data is stored in several locations in the registry, it can cause CleanUp to take slightly longer than before (only a few seconds).
- Added '.NET Framework application run history' section to Microsoft Visual Studio plugin.
- Added Unreal games plugin.
1.0.1345.22102
- Evidence CleanUp:
- Fixed bug where an INI file wasn't saved after a value had been deleted (INIValue instruction in plugins). It was saved after a section had been deleted (INISection instruction in plugins) though.
- Fixed bug where INI files wouldn't be changed if they were read-only.
- Fixed bug where specifying a directory (instead of an INI file) in the INIValue and INISection instructions in plugins would cause the whole directory to be deleted. This is nothing to worry about if you haven't made your own plugins!
- Merged Jasc Paint Shop Pro and Jasc Animation Shop plugins into new Jasc Software plugin.
- Added Check for Update button to main window.
- Updated About dialog to display URL for new web site (was still displaying old URL).
