Software Updates Week 45 2007


It is Wednesday again which means it is time for the weekly software updates article. I try to list all applications that have been updated in the last seven days that have been mentioned at Ghacks previously. This is usually a list of 10-20 applications with links to the homepage of the developer so that everyone may download the new version immediately.

The description is short, if you would like a longer one or further information let me know and I will gladly provide them. If you have any other suggestions or tips on how to improve this list let me know as well.

Before I forget: Everything that is listed here is freely available. No commercial software makes it into this list.

Azureus 3.0.3.5 Beta 7 – Azureus is a Java Bittorrent client that I have used in the past. I did make the switch to uTorrent though.

CCleaner 2.02.527 – Scans your system for and removes junk, temporary files and privacy related content such as history files if selected by the user.

Codec Installer 2.8.0 – analyzes the codecs on your system and the codecs needed for video or audio files and suggests to install them.

doPDF 5.3.240 – A free PDF converter that gets updated every week it seems.

DVDFab HD Decrypter 4.0.0.5 Beta – copy movies from DVD to your hard drive removing common protections in the process.

FileZilla 3.0.3 RC1 – A great ftp client.

foobar2000 0.9.5 Beta 3 – An advanced audio player for Windows. I do prefer XMPlay.

MediaCoder 0.6.0.3940 – A audio and video batch converter that uses the codecs that are installed on your system.

nLite 1.4 – create a new Windows installation CD that has several Windows components like Outlook and Windows Media Player removed.

Opera 9.50 Build 9624 BetaOpera is a fantastic browser, better than Internet Explorer and at least on the same level as Firefox.

Orbit downloader 2.4.2 – A fantastic download manager with lots of options and features not found in others. I love Grab++ which grabs multimedia files.

Paint.NET Alpha 3.20 – If you do not use GIMP you probably use Paint.NET, another great free image editor.

Process Explorer 11.04 – Process Explorer is a must have software, it offers detailed information on all processes on your system.

Process Monitor 1.26 – Another great application by Sysinternals. Process Monitor is a advanced monitoring tool for Windows.

The GIMP 2.4.1 – The image editor that I use.

Vista Codec Package 4.5.2 – A one click play all code pack for Windows Vista adding support for many audio and video files. I prefer a individual solution though.

    Actually it can be twice a week too, we just updated it to 241 today :).
    It’s like this, if there are at least 2 small bugs fixed we make a build with that improvement instead of waiting to release a new version – this way we get less questions.
