I have been working on AdwCleaner version 7 since last year during countless hours and week-ends, so I’m happy to get it released a few hours ago!

I has been interesting to dig more in modern C++ and the jump from the v6 and AutoIT was a pleasure. The Windows API has been definitely less funny to use, but discovering and using undocumented features was still nice
