Software update Web site, MacUpdate, on Monday released an update for its MacUpdate Desktop application that allows users to stay up-to-date on the latest apps without checking the Web site. First released in late October, MacUpdate said the new version fixes a number of bugs including one that caused no apps to be found on some systems. Other changes in MacUpdate Desktop 5.0.1 include automatically cleaning up expanded, improved version matching and not losing your selection when an update completes.

A couple of new features have been added to the application, as well. An option to “download only” has been added to the Updates Menu and a file size column has been added to the listings.

A full list of changes is available from the MacUpdate Web site.

MacUpdate Desktop 5.0.1 includes a fully functioning 10 trial for all users.
