The PortableApps.com Launcher 2.1 has been released! Somehow it managed to take ten and a half months after 2.0 before 2.1 was released (five and a half since Beta 2), but it's finally here. Now on to 2.2.
I would again like to remind developers of two things for using PAL 2.1:
Judging from how often users request custom shells (SharpEnviro, bbLean, and LiteStep are just a few of the requests/test builds I've seen), this is something people really want. And now, I'm pretty sure it's here.

Here's a quick status update on the goings-on of PortableApps.com and the Road to 2.0. We've finalized the default theme and chrome, we wound up having to do one more set of translations (due to the website upgrade delay), we've got some news on the financial front and we've got a sneak preview of a couple of 2.0 features which happen to be useful for translators as well.

We've posted an updated set of strings for translation for the 2.0 Platform that we could use your help with. We've added in all the current translations submitted by the community as well for review. This new set of strings is particularly important for adding apps in languages other than English as the new app directory on the site which will allow for multilingual app descriptions won't be coming out until after 2.0.
We know it's only been a couple days since our last update, but there's been a couple developments and we wanted to get input from the community on them. 2.0 is getting a new theme and we want your thoughts on it. Also, translations are still needed for a couple dozen languages so if you or someone you know has the time and the ability to help out, please do! Read on for the details

PowerProxy, the app I've mentioned I was developing a couple of times before, is almost done. I've pumped about 25 hours into the project during the past 5 days (thanks to spring break), and it's really coming together.
So what is this PowerProxy?
