Windows 11/10 package manager UniGetUI gets massive update with bulk download options

UniGetUI (formerly WinGetUI) is a considerably popular Windows package manager. It basically combines command-line interfaces from package managers like Chocolatey, pip, npm, and more, in a single intuitive GUI. The project is available on GitHub under the MIT license, sporting almost 17,000 stars and 547 forks, and a decent amount of watchers.

Today, UniGetUI has received version 3.3.0. It is interesting to note that this release was actually meant to be version 3.2.1, following on from a respectable 3.2.0 release back in May. But since it features a massive change log with more changes than originally planned, the developer decided to bump it up to version 3.3.0 directly.

The highlights from the latest release include an option to bulk-download installers, select a package manager executable, default install options for each package manager, and cloud backup and restore functionalities. In addition, more commands are now supported, and users have the ability to kill processes before installing, uninstalling, or updating a package.

There are lots of other capabilities in tow, too. PowerShell7 now clears older versions when updating, the Searchbox has been moved to improve space utilization, the toolbar has been enhanced, internal error detection mechanisms have been upgraded, and some dialog boxes have netted updates.

There are tons of other backend changes too, including a note that XAML and YAML files cannot be created anymore due to low usage - the developer says that these formats are only used by 0.7-1.3% of all bundles, so it's difficult to maintain the development overhead required to manage them.

As expected, there are lots of fixes contributed by the very active UniGetUI community, too. You can find out the full details in the massive change log here. You can download UniGetUI version 3.3.0 stable from the Neowin software stories page or from its official GitHub repo linked above.
