NOTE: This beta is expected to be the latest beta before release.
NOTE: This release is not digitally signed for convenience. Stable releases will always be signed.
Last beta expected to be the last prerelease before stable, yet stable will be delayed due to issues with the code signing certificate.
I was told that the issues should be fixed in a week or two, as of 08/10/2024 (dd/mm/aa)

Changelog

• WinGet icons will show on UniGetUI
• Package icons will show on package lists (they can be disabled from the settings)
• A WinGet troubleshooter has been implemented to fix when WinGet corrupts itself and stops reporting installed packages.
• Package tags show on the bottom-right corner of the icon, instead of overriding it
• Internal conurrency improvements
