What's New in Eraser 5.86 :

• 5.86 will be the last in the 5.x series, as the last few bugs were really painful to fix because of the old code and the multiple add-ons which were not part of the original program resulted in feature creep resulting in pretty unmaintainable code.
• RC2 fixes a few problems:
· Missing "Erase Unused Space" message in Explorer context menu
· Free space erase when non-elevated under Vista results in files scattered all over the AppData folder
· Some users could erase free space using the first/last 2kb option. The new behaviour (although the option could be selected) would be that NOTHING will happen, and all runs will report it as a failure. The UI could not be changed due to a flaw in the design of the program
