Bug Fixes​

• Improved handling of UAC prompts by ensuring they are displayed in the foreground.
• Fixed keyboard handling to prevent modified activation keys (such as Alt+Space) from triggering unintended actions.

Improvements​

• Added a configurable environment variable syntax for custom install arguments and installation locations. The default format is now <VAR>.
• Clicking anywhere on an active operation card now opens its live operation log, making it easier to monitor package operations.
• Restored the desktop shortcut prompt after package installations.

Bug Fixes​

Devolutions UniGetUI 2026.3.0​

New Features​

• Added scheduled maintenance for update checks, automatic update installation, local backups, and cloud backups, with independent schedules, retries and timeouts.
• Added support for marking individual packages for automatic updates instead of automatically updating every package.
• Added Start Menu shortcut and folder management to the unified Manage shortcuts window, including removal, reset, relocation, post-install prompts, and command-line support.
• Added an optional Installer host column that shows each download domain and provides the full installer URL in a tooltip.
• Added configurable retention limits for timestamped local backups, with automatic removal of the oldest files.
• Added the %NAME% placeholder and a per-package subfolder style setting for creating sanitized custom installation directories.
• Added Update and Update as administrator actions to the Installed Packages page when a newer package version is available.
• Added a responsive package toolbar that moves actions into an overflow menu when the window is too narrow to display them all.
• Added warnings when an installed package version cannot be reliably verified, with explanatory tooltips in package lists and details.

Improvements​

• Improved package icon loading with bounded preloading and automatic retries after temporary failures.
• Improved update error messages for unavailable installers, already-current packages, and WinGet hash mismatches, including more relevant recovery guidance.
• Improved Linux compatibility by targeting a glibc 2.27 baseline so releases run on considerably older distributions.
• Migrated supported NuGet-backed package managers to the NuGet V3 API for more efficient and reliable feed access.

Bug Fixes​

• Fixed WinGet package detection, search, and update checks on Windows installations using non-English display languages.
• Fixed WinGet detection when its executable is not available through the system path by locating App Installer through Windows.
• Fixed updates being under-reported during the first scan by refreshing the WinGet catalog snapshot when its source index changes.
• Fixed version comparisons for packages that use underscores in build revisions, including Homebrew versions such as 18.4_1.
• Fixed PowerShell 5.x module operations incorrectly reporting success after non-terminating errors.
• Fixed Cargo package listings showing blank crate names or silently omitting entries.
• Fixed Scoop package listings hanging when commands produced excessive error output or stopped responding.
• Fixed shortcut removal failures by elevating when required and applying deletions as a single operation.
• Fixed package-manager dependency installations being accepted without verifying that the required tool was actually installed.
• Fixed Cargo-installed dependencies being missed when they were available in standard Cargo directories but not on the system path.

Security​

• Hardened PowerShell-based package operations against command injection by validating package values, rejecting shell metacharacters, and passing arguments as data.
• Hardened settings imports by rejecting unknown or unsafe names and preventing secure-settings paths from escaping their intended directory.
