PortableApps.com is proud to announce the PortableApps.com Platform 18.0 release. This release adds support for 64-bit-only apps in the app store (in addition to our dual-mode 32-bit and 64-bit packages), support for .NET apps that work with versions 3 and 4 or 3.5 and 4, performance and stability improvements, a huge performance boost to the app store, 36 full locale updates, Kurdish support, and more. Read on for all the details...(permalink)
Existing Platform users can automatically update by clicking Help - Check for Updates
New in 18.0
The app store can now list 64-bit-only apps in addition to our standard dual mode apps (see the Options window) and will be adding in .NET apps that support either versions 3 and 4 or versions 3.5 and 4. These apps will work on Windows 7 and later out of the box. The app store loads 5x to 10x faster thanks to a partial rewrite. The compiler has been updated to the latest version of Delphi for performance and stability improvements. 35 locales have been fully updated and support for Kurdish has been added to the platform. Multiple bug fixes and other small improvements have been made as well. Full details are in the PortableApps.com Platform changelog.
Platform Features
As always, the PortableApps.com Platform is packed with great features like:
Automatic App Closing - Closing down and getting going is easier than ever with the platform automatically (and safely) closing your running portable apps and letting you know which ones need to be closed before you eject and finish syncing your cloud drive. Luthfi Harahap was kind enough to re-license some of his code to help with this feature
Awesome Themes - The modern default theme matches well with Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10 and all your favorite classic themes are included as well.
Cascading Tray App Menu - Get quick access to all your apps with a right click in the system tray
Always-Ready Search - The app search box is always visible and ready by default, so you can open the platform - possibly with the CTRL-ALT-SPACE hotkey - and just start typing to launch your favorite app. You can even search in app descriptions if you'd like by ticking a box in Options
Proxy Support - The connections tab in Options lets you automatically or manually configure the platform to work with your internet proxy
Full Featured Installer - The Platform installer can detect and install to your portable devices, synced cloud directories, local machine, and more
Fast Updater / App Store - Quickly check for updates to your existing apps and find new ones by name, category, release date, and more
Eject or Power Off - For local users, the eject button automatically switches to a shutdown/restart/log off button, bringing up the Windows prompt to select your choice. You can also right-click on the button to select to show either eject or shutdown/restart/log off.
Portable Fonts - Take all your fonts with you and use them in all your portable apps
Organize Your Apps Your Way - Use the default of favorites and most used apps with all apps by category on the second page or switch it up by selecting alphabetical apps, categories and favorites by default, and other options
All the fixes and features are details in the PortableApps.com Platform Changelog
Next Version, Translators Needed
We're starting work on the next beta soon and we'll be going over the list of requested features and bugs to prioritize the additions and fixes in the next couple release. We'll be needing more translators watching the beta channel and translating the few new features in this release. https://portableapps.com/download Download PortableApps.com Platform 18.0 - Free App Store & Menu
