After months of development, I'm very happy announce we are today releasing a major update to jv16 PowerTools. You can download it from:
https://jv16powertools.com/downloads/jv16pt_setup.exe
Since the last official version (build 939), our testing team has done 3040 test installations, ran a total of 11224 testing cycles and spent in total of 2452 hours in testing. Not work hours, but actual, hands-on time clocked while actually testing the product.
1) Brand new user interface. We heard your feedback about the user interface, and we listened. The new version now comes with a more powerful user interface, more in line with the classic jv16 PowerTools versions.
2) Faster and more accurate. We spent hours on making the new version faster and more accurate. It will now clean better than ever before.
3) Quality improvements to all the tools.
There are also many interesting performance related numbers from our quality control system. The previous official build took on average 93 seconds to complete the Initial Setup. The new version does this, on average, in just 54 seconds. The previous official build took on average 53 seconds to do a System Cleaner scan, now it takes only 46 seconds. And perhaps even more impressive is that the Software Uninstaller previously took 52 seconds, and now only 36 seconds. Also, it's worth noting that these numbers are averages across hundreds of test installations, not cherry picked numbers from one or two systems.
While the new user interface might seem heavier, the actual memory (RAM) usage of the program is also down from an average of 224 MB with the previous official build, to only 118 MB.
While speed and overall performance are important indicators, even more important is the tool's ability to clean your computer. In these key metrics, the new version is also better than ever before. For example, the new version finds on average 5.2% more files and registry data relating to installed software. There is also a brand new, dedicated scan module in System Cleaner to detect left over software files and registry keys.
