Software Updates Week 14

It’s already the 14th time that I’m writing this article. Each Wednesday I look back at the software that has been updated in the last seven days and create a list of the software that has been updated and mentioned before here at Ghacks. The list usually contains between 20 to 40 applications that have been updated.

If you know of one that slipped through let me know and I make sure that this will never happen again. Each time I do pick one software as the update of the week.

This time it’s Wireshark 1.00, a fantastic network protocol analyzer.

µTorrent 1.8 Build 9272 Beta – a new version of the lightweight Bittorrent client.

AkelPad 3.5.4 – plain text source code editor.

Cobian Backup 9.1.1.169 Beta – fantastic backup program that supports ftp backups.
