Na maar liefst 25 bètareleases en twee release candidates is dan eindelijk de final van versie 8.00 van het bestandsbeheerprogramma Total Commander is uitgekomen. De grootste verandering in versie 8.00 is dat er nu ook een aparte 64bit-versie beschikbaar is. Veel zal de gemiddelde gebruiker daar echter niet van merken. Christian Ghisler, de ontwikkelaar van Total Commander, zei daar het volgende over: "The 64-bit bit version is mainly for ignorant people who think that 64-bit is better, and for some very specific usage cases (e.g. only 64-bit extension available, or 64-bit Windows PE with no 32-bit support)." Er is sinds kort ook een gecombineerde 32bit- en 64bit-installatie, speciaal voor mensen die de 64bit-verie willen gebruiken, maar soms ook de 32bit-plugins nodig hebben.
What's new?Total Commander 8.0 is the first version available in both 32-bit and 64-bit. Currently there aren't many 64-bit plugins yet - I will publish them when they become available. Therefore you should keep the 32-bit version for the moment if you use plugins regularly.
- There are no new features in the program itself since RC2, but the combined 64-bit+32-bit installer now also works on 32-bit Windows. It installs both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions, but only creates a link in the start menu to the 32-bit version on 32-bit Windows
