UniGetUI 3.3.0 has been released, featuring a range of updates, including default installation options, pre/post-install/update/uninstall commands, as well as cloud package backup and restore functionalities. The release was expected to be named 3.2.1, but it has been named 3.3.0 instead.
The update features enhancements to InstallOptions dialogs, advancements in WinGet source management, and refinements to the toolbar. Security enhancements involve the default restriction of specific features, which can be enabled through toggles that necessitate a UAC prompt for modification. Bundles will display a security report when potentially hazardous settings are detected, and certain command-injection vulnerabilities arising from custom command-line arguments have been addressed. The release encompasses bug fixes, enhancements to local icon detection code comments, pre-install and post-install operations, among other updates.
