WingetUI gets support for Widgets to easily update/install packages, PowerShell Gallery too

WingetUI, which is a third-party GUI utility tool for managing CLI package managers like Winget, Scoop, Chocloatey, npm, among others, received its latest update yesterday. The new update, version 2.2.0, improves the ease of usage and convenience as it now supports WingetUI Widgets which makes it easier to install available package updates.

Other usability improvements include saved details regarding installation of packages, reworked export with YAML and JSON format support, and more.

The new release also adds support for PowerShell Gallery. As the name suggests, the PowerShell Gallery or PSGallery is a repository that contains scripts, modules, and Desired State Configuration (DSC) resources. You can find the full changelog for WingetUI version 2.2.0 below:

WingetUI 2.2.0 changelog:

WingetUI does now support PowerShell Gallery, the 7th Package Manager.

Added Support for WingetUI Widgets, a set of widgets for the Windows Widgets pane that will ease installing available package updates.

Exporting packages has been reworked:

Installation options will be saved next to the package list.

Ignored updates and skipped versions will also be exported
