Software Updates Week 29

What a busy week. It’s almost the opposite of last week which was rather uneventful. Dozens of excellent software programs have been updated in this week and I really do not know where to start.

It took a long time to compile the list and I’m sure I probably forgot half of the applications that have been updated. To mention some remarkable ones: µTorrent, Locate32, Opera and Notepad++ have all been updated in this week.

The application of the week award goes to Teracopy this time, it’s a great tool that can speed up file transfers in Windows. As always, if you know of an update that is not in the list let me know.
