Software Updates Week 19

Lots of updates for popular applications in this week. The usual suspects have been updated, like uTorrent, Azureus, Opera or foobar that seem to be updated on a weekly schedule but also some applications that don’t get updated that often, say Azureus or Tagscanner.

A short explanation about this post for the new readers. I’m writing an article each Wednesday about last week’s software updates. Only free and Open Source software makes it into that list and if you follow it regularly you can be sure that the software on your system is up to date.
