What's new in this version:

- Add ability to make chaff, an anti-forensics system. It generates novel documents inspired by 2600 Magazine or messages inspired by Hillary Clinton's publicly-released emails
- Add the command line option --wipe-free-space to wipe the free space in a path
- Add a new option to enable debug logging. Find it in the Preferences dialog or as the new command line option --debug
- Improve scanning speed. This could be most noticable in preview, deep scan, when deleting many small files, and during startup. In some cases, the improvement is greater than 10x
- Avoid crash on startup when configuration is corrupt
- Improve actual speed of application startup
- Improve cleaners: aMule, FileZilla, Midnight Commander, VLC, and Vuze
- Overhaul cleaner for Thunderbird
- Fix the error NameError: global name '_' is not defined
- Improve cleaners: Internet Explorer, Silverlight, TeamViewer, VLC, Windows Media Player, Windows Defender, WinRAR
- Fix shredding a file marked read-only
- Update shipped dependencies: Python, gettext, SQLite, and GTK
- Drop support for Windows XP

Graphical user interface:
- Upgrade the graphical toolkit from GTK+ 2 to GTK 3
- Add dark mode
- Add a new stop button to the toolbar
- Remember the window size and position and whether it was full screen
- Make startup seem faster by showing the GUI while loading cleaners in background (It's also actually faster)
- Make the error prettier when update check fails
- Fix various file-encoding errors
- Reorder the delete/cancel buttons to a more logical order
