Software Updates Week 29

This week was rather uneventful, seems like a lot of developers are on summer vacations. Only a few applications have been updated this week and even less that I would consider core applications that are always installed on my system.

Please let me know if you know a software that has been updated as well and that is not listed on this page.

The application of the week award goes to Media Player Classic which is one of the best media players out there.

µTorrent 1.8 Build 11564 RC6 - new version of the lightweight Bittorrent client.

Autoruns 9.32 - probably the most comprehensive application to analyze autostart entries.
