UpInstall v0.5.2

Install: download the -setup.exe for your CPU, win-x64 (Intel/AMD) or win-arm64 (Windows on ARM), and run it. Portable: the .zip needs no install, just extract and run UpInstall.exe. MSIX (optional): if this release has an UpInstall.msixbundle, trust UpInstall-signing.cer first (see packaging/README.md), then open the bundle. Verify downloads with SHA256SUMS.txt. The binaries are not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may show a warning (More info, then Run anyway).

Full Changelog: v0.5.0...v0.5.1

Updraft v0.5.0

Highlights

• A full redesign. A brand-gradient Updates card with Update all and a major / minor / patch breakdown, app tiles, from → to versions with update-type badges, a rebuilt detail pane ("What's new", details, tags, command), a floating selection bar and toasts with Undo / Retry.
• Motion that respects your settings. Staggered lists, page transitions, a progress ring on each app and a result badge when it finishes. It follows the Windows "Animation effects" setting, and Settings has its own switch.
• Starter packs. Discover opens with popular searches and six packs for setting up a new PC: Essentials, Developer, Creative, Chat & meetings, Gaming, and Privacy & security. Apps you already have are left alone.
• Choose a version. Install or update to a specific release instead of the newest one.
• Right-click any row (or hover it) for quick actions: install / update / uninstall, skip, pin, choose a version, copy the id or command.
• Taskbar progress. The taskbar button shows progress for the whole run and flashes if it finishes while Updraft is in the background.
• Faster tab switching (lists are reused for 5 minutes; F5 rescans), a shortcuts sheet on F1, Ctrl+, for Settings, and a --demo mode with sample data and simulated installs.

Full Changelog: v0.4.0...v0.5.0

Updraft v0.4.0

Highlights

• Backup & restore. Export your installed apps to a JSON file (winget's own format) and restore them on any PC. Updraft marks what's already installed and ticks the rest.
• History. Every install, update and uninstall run inside Updraft is logged with versions and results. Stored locally only.
• Skip this version. Hide one version of an update; it comes back when a newer one ships. "Always skip this app" still works.
• Keyboard shortcuts. Ctrl+1–4 switch pages, F5 rescans, Ctrl+F searches, Ctrl+A selects all, Ctrl+Enter starts, Esc cancels.
• Remembers window size and position, and explains how to get winget if it's missing.

Fixes

• Saving Settings no longer resets settings the dialog doesn't show.
• The header no longer wraps at the default window size.
