WingetUI version 1.7.0 has been released. This software makes it easy to find, install, update, and uninstall software packages. However, WingetUI is only a GUI, because it is implemented under the hood by WinGet, Chocolatey, and Scoop, which by default only run via the command line. The software is open source, can be used in many languages, including Dutch, has a dark theme and provides notifications when new versions of installed software are available. The changelog for this version looks like this:
