PortableApps 1.5 Released


PortableApps.Com
Of course, this came out a long while ago. But I forgot to check my feeds and therefore...

PortableApps, for those that don't know, are a collection of free, open source applications, similar to U3-enabled flash drives. They are bundled with a launcher for on-the-go access, especially via memory card or flash drive.
Some of the more popular applications that have been converted to portable applications include Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird, Pidgin, Sumatra PDF, and OpenOffice.org, but the PortableApps.com database is huge and includes tens of more applications; at least one hundred.

The PortableApps.com 1.5 in question here is PortableApps' launcher/client. 1.5 includes a bunch of new features, including a new display engine (and new customizable themes, coming in the next release), application renaming and icon hiding, more language support (37 languages at the moment), wallpaper swapping, and more.

See here for more details.
