2Click Update version 5.6
After a month of delay, for testing purposes, I am releasing the new version of 2Click Update (2cu) and 2cuCORE. This version is a result of collaboration and contribution by the community. I have to thank Nathan Douglas and Mark Obad for their contribution to the code of this version and the translations provided by the launchpad community.
Comparison: Ubuntu update manager and 2clickUpdate
After publishing the 5.5.version of 2click Update, it got an unexpected attention by the community. Many referral links, reviews, code contribution, translations and some emails pointing in one general question:
what the heck does it do and why to use 2click Update when there is already Ubuntu Update manager available
After some mails talking about the reasons why 2click Update is better than “classic” update manager with Andrew, author of Web Upd8 , I realized that many people could have the same questions that raised upon the discussion. Let me give you a better description of what makes 2click Update a “smart robot”(script).
2click Update v5.5: Going Lightning with Axel
I am pleased to announce that 2click Update version 5.5 of 5.X series is out. In this major release the entire structure of code has changed. The code is structured in a modular way so that every feature is just a module. Also a new feature is available that will automatically boost the downloading of upgrades in a way that traditional apt-get cannot. The new module is called Speed-apt.

Behind the scenes…
Not so long ago in WebUpd8 I came across with Axel, a simple piece of software that tries to accelerate HTTP/FTP downloading process by using multiple connections for one file. It can use multiple mirrors for a download. Axel has no dependencies and is lightweight, so it might be useful as a wget clone on byte-critical systems.

Μετά κόπων και βασάνων (εντάξει… λέμε τώρα) μια νέα έκδοση είναι διαθέσιμη. Θέλω να ευχαριστήσω όλους τους γνωστούς φίλους και ανώνυμους φίλους που συνεισφέρανε με ιδέες και προτάσεις για να γίνει όσο το δυνατόν καλύτερο το 2click Update.

Τα νέα όμως δεν τελειώνουν εδώ…
