🚀 Nimbus Cleaner v1.3.0-beta

Welcome to the v1.3.0-beta release of Nimbus Cleaner! This major pre-release update introduces automated update management, active memory optimization, and native Windows Shell integration.

---

✨ What's New in v1.3.0-beta

🔄 Automated Update Checker (Auto-Updater)

• GitHub REST API Integration: Nimbus Cleaner now checks for the latest releases asynchronously upon startup using secure TLS 1.2/1.3 protocols.
• One-Click Upgrade Flow: When a newer release is detected, the application prompts you to update. Accepting automatically downloads the setup executable to %TEMP%, launches the installer, and exits Nimbus Cleaner cleanly for a seamless installation.
• Robust Asset Matcher: Smart JSON deserialization and pre-release tag stripping (e.g., -beta) ensure reliable version detection across official setup executables.

⚡ Smart RAM Booster & Memory Optimizer

• Win32 API Optimization: Leverages native EmptyWorkingSet and SetProcessWorkingSetSize Win32 API calls to trim bloated working sets and reclaim standby RAM from background processes.
• Non-Blocking Asynchronous Execution: Optimizes active memory in a background thread without freezing the user interface. System-critical processes are safely ignored.
• Live Memory Metrics: Forces garbage collection and calculates the exact amount of freed memory (in MB/GB), displaying real-time memory usage stats in the activity log.

🖱️ Native Windows Shell Context Menu Integration

• Right-Click Cleaning: Adds a native option to the Windows Explorer context menu, allowing you to target specific files or directories for cleaning directly from right-click.
• User-Level Registry Handling: Managed under HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU), eliminating the need for elevated administrative permissions to toggle context menu options.
• Settings Integration: Easily register or unregister shell context menu keys via the dedicated button in the Settings (Ayarlar) tab.

🛠️ Improvements & UI Polishing

• Theme-Consistent UI: Replaced generic checkboxes in Settings with custom-styled, theme-adaptive action buttons.
• Detailed Activity Logging: Expanded internal logging to provide transparent status feedback for updates, memory releases, and registry toggles.
• Startup Optimization: Refined initial background task execution to ensure fast app launch times.
