Desktop app 1.4.1
The desktop app now checks for published release notices when it opens, returns to view or reconnects. Urgent updates block older copies at once; normal updates give notice first and become required on the next start.
Releases, as a feed.
There is one dated surface on this site and it is the changelog, so that is what the feed carries. A feed of undated marketing pages would be a feed with nothing in it.

windowsweep 1.4.1
The package notes now state that files selected in the personal data scanner go to the Recycle Bin, while uninstalling a program is permanent.
Desktop app 1.4.0
The app now lets you scan Downloads and folders you add for large or old files, review selected programs for uninstall, and inspect folders those programs left. Personal files you select always go to the Recycle Bin.
windowsweep 1.4.0
The command line adds the same data scanner, program and leftover sections, superseded tool release cleanup, and a Chrome on-device model policy.
Desktop app 1.3.2
Signing in with Google completes: 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 refused every sign-in at its last step. Session replay runs with every piece of text masked, dialogs included, and crash reports reach their service. An installed 1.3.1 finds this release by itself.
windowsweep 1.3.2
The version moves to 1.3.2 with the desktop app, whose 1.3.2 fixes its Google sign-in. Nothing about what is cleaned, how it is decided or what is refused changed.
Desktop app 1.3.1
When a History view holds no real run, its totals step aside. The bundled 1.3.1 engine credits the windowsweep team, and usage and crash reports carry the app's own version. An installed 1.3.0 finds this release by itself.
Desktop app 1.3.0
The first desktop release with sign-in: your settings and a summary of each run follow you between machines, and when two machines disagree the newer change wins, with an Undo. Its sign-in never completed; 1.3.2 fixes that. It bundles the 1.3.0 engine, and an installed 1.2.0 finds this release by itself.
windowsweep 1.3.1
The tool now names the windowsweep team as its maker instead of one person, and the web address it prints is this site. Nothing about what is cleaned, how it is decided or what is refused changed.
windowsweep 1.3.0
The documentation address the tool carries is now the documentation site, not the README on GitHub, and two engine files were split under the 500-line ceiling, verbatim. Nothing about what is cleaned, how it is decided or what is refused changed.
Desktop app 1.2.0
The first desktop release that sends usage and crash reports, to improve the product for everyone; there is no switch, and the first-run screen says so. A dry-run from Sections now fills the picker, developer mode starts on, and an installed 1.1.0 finds this release by itself.
windowsweep 1.2.0
--exclude-path now keeps a folder and everything inside it, in every section rather than only section 17. The machine-readable output gains the newest write under each target, the protected folders, and the paths an exclusion kept.
Desktop app 1.1.0
The window ships: the reclaim map, the section catalogue read from the engine, a run you can watch, and an updater that verifies a signature before it applies anything. Two installers, both unsigned, both verifiable.
windowsweep 1.1.0
Four new sections — a global packages audit, orphaned application data, idle installed programs and a startup items audit — plus scripted selections, a finish notification, and a machine-readable section catalogue.
windowsweep 1.0.1
The interactive sections stopped pre-selecting every item under auto-yes. The selection prompt now appears regardless, and defaults to none.
windowsweep 1.0.0
First release. Twenty-two numbered sections, developer mode, a dry-run that writes nothing, and one deletion chokepoint. Section numbers became a public contract.
