UniGetUI 3.1.4 has been released and presents a reliable enhancement for icons on package lists, ensuring they are downloaded once and stored in a local cache to minimise unnecessary bandwidth consumption.
Icons that are cached undergo resizing and compression to optimise disc space utilisation. VCPkg is now accessible on UniGetUI, facilitating the installation, updating, and removal of packages. UniGetUI Elevator will replace GSudo, allowing users to automatically remove desktop shortcuts generated during software updates. Internal duplicated procedures will be streamlined, ensuring that resource-intensive tasks are executed only once. Users now have the option to opt in to UniGetUI PreRelease versions through the UniGetUI Settings.
