Version 26.09.01 du 20/09/2026- The last days were not about piling on features at any cost. I experimented with a built-in Mini mode for FluentCleaner Classic in v1.17, but ultimately pulled it before release to keep Classic small, predictable, and easy to maintain. The idea is not dead, though, it may return later as an external add-on or plugin if I decide to make FluentCleaner more extensible.
- Instead, FluentCleaner Classic (only) gained something that fits its lightweight nature much better: proper command-line automation. It can now analyze or clean the saved selection silently, target individual cleaner categories, and slot neatly into batch files, PowerShell scripts, or other automation workflows.
- So Mini is out for now, but Classic has become considerably more scriptable without becoming more complicated. Less interface bolted on, more power underneath.
- [Added] [Classic] Introduced command-line automation for scripts, batch files, PowerShell, and third-party tools. Classic can now analyze or clean the saved selection silently, optionally target a specific cleaner category, and shut down the PC after cleaning.
- [Added] [Classic] Added command-line documentation and ready-to-copy examples under Options > Handoff / CLI.
- [Changed] [Classic] Development of the built-in Mini mode has been paused for now. It may return later as a separate add-on or as part of a future plugin system.
- [Improved] [Classic] Deleting a cookie no longer throws the user back to the beginning of the list. FluentCleaner still refreshes the real browser databases, but now keeps the working position and selects the nearest remaining entry.
- [Added] [Classic] Added Select all to the context menus of both Cookie Manager lists. Active search filters are respected, so only currently visible cookies are selected.
- [Fixed] [Classic, Modern] FluentCleaner now correctly remembers an intentionally empty cleaner selection. Previously, selecting zero items was mistaken for a fresh installation and the default entries returned after restarting.
- [Fixed] [Classic, Modern] Silent cleaning and command-line operations now also respect an intentionally empty cleaner selection instead of silently falling back to database Defaults.
- [Fixed] [Classic, Modern] Improved DetectFile handling for 32-bit applications. Cleaner entries using %ProgramFiles% now correctly detect installations in both Program Files and Program Files (x86), with or without Wildcards.
- [Improved] [Classic] The Entry column in the analysis results now automatically uses the available space, while the file, registry, and size columns remain compact and stable.
- [Improved] [Classic] CLI runs return automation-friendly exit codes and write detailed results to %AppData%FluentCleanerauto.log.
- [Added] [Classic] Azerbaijani localization is now available, bringing the Classic interface to another language.
- [Updated] [Classic] Added localized Select all text for the Cookie Manager and cleaned up the English and German localization structure for easier maintenance.
- [Updated] [Classic] Refreshed the Brazilian Portuguese and French localizations with the latest interface strings and translation improvements.
