We had this one long time ago but suddenly there was no offline installers anymore so we removed it, is there now?

I forgot one.


Sadly, it does appear to be a stub downloader still  :(

Here's my software not yet supported by Patch My PC.  Apologies, I'm not exactly equipped to perform your pre-qualification checks at the moment.  I'm sure some of these have been excluded before, but I didn't see them in the incompatibilities list.  AFAIK these are "the" popular solutions for particular technical requirements.

Oracle is now recommending Java 8.

Also, see my feature request Request: Version Tracks (Stable vs Current) for a possible method for handling this in the future.

Thanks,

Basically, a method for picking which version "track" you'd like to be on for particular products.

Java is a big one, Java 8 has superseded 7, but 7 is still offered.  Some users would like to switch to Java 8, others would like to stick with 7.  I'm sure there's others that would like extended support 6.

KeePass is one I have particular interest in.  KeePass 2.x doesn't work on systems that have FIPS mode enabled (http://keepass.info/help/base/faq_tech.html#fips2x).  kdbx files (from 2.x series) also have particular issues w/ Cross Platform implementations, (iOS, Blackberry, Android, Linux, OS X). I stay with kdb files, that KeePass 2.x will import but won't natively use.  On PC I continue to use KeePass 1.x series.  Continually PatchMyPC detects 1.28 as out of date (it isn't).  Thankfully w/ 3.002 I can "skip" KeePass and manually maintain 1.x series.

Going through the software offered by PatchMyPC I see some of the following that could benefit from "Version Tracks".

Firefox, ESR (stable) series 31 vs 34 series.
LibreOffice, the "Still" (stable) series is 4.2, the "Fresh" version is 4.3.

I'm sure there's other software in there that could benefit from Version Tracks that I'm not familiar with.

Thanks for the consideration,
