Though a rigorous test cycle has not been completed, all applications appear to be functioning as expected. WINE Support - Portable is now compatible with WINE running on your favorite UNIX/Linux distro. Unicode Commandline Support - Portable will now allow you to pass in unicode commandline parameters, which is handy for passing in documents to open, etc. It will also let you know if none is available when you first try to access a function that requires Java.

Java Detection - Portable will now correctly detect and use a locally-installed Java Runtime Environment as you move between PCs. This will apply to future releases of Portable as you'll still need to manually update due to the directory changes. This means that you can extract it right over an existing installation of Portable without losing any of your logs and it'll Just Work. In-Place Upgrades - Portable now supports the ability to do what we're calling an 'in-place upgrade'. Full details are in the support topic on Running from a CD. Just be sure to follow the instructions to get it properly setup. Live/CD Support - Portable now supports running from a CD or other read-only media, making it easy to carry with you and use.

This makes it easier to sort and use your apps, too. All of the apps here at are being renamed (there's only one left now). Why the name change? The new names are designed to put the base application names first. The first thing you'll notice is that the name has been changed from Portable to Portable. This new release adds in several new features, including: the ability to run from a CD, in-place upgrades, unicode commandline support, WINE support, Windows 95 support, Java support and more, all in a 25% smaller download.

For the unfamiliar, Portable is the handy office suite packaged with a Launcher as a portable app, so you can edit your documents and spreadsheets right on your iPod, USB flash drive or other portable device. Portable is now Portable, and version 2.0.3 has been released.
