I informed you in the previous "WinReducer Project - Status Information (01 may 2022)" about major changes in the WinReducer Series software :
This is one of the most important piece of the entire WinReducer Project renewal, all individual software in each WinReducer Software Series, you usually used since June 2015, will be regrouped to propose only one software with all functionalities in each "WinReducer Series" ! For example, in the "EX-Series", you will get all functionalities in one unique software from EX70, EX80, EX81, EX100 and EX110 !
==> All changes will be progressively implemented until it will reach the v4.x.x.x development branch on 15 June 2023 !
Starting on 19 June 2022, there will be a lot of changes to implement in a regular release basis ... it will provide an entire renewed User Interface and User eXperience with even more configuration customization options and internal changes : I started from a blank page to be sure to propose something totally new and very innovative with all previous functionalities as well as all missing functionalities you requested.
The official monthly schedule has been also reworked to provide a more efficient software version release system because there will be a lot of changes to implement and because the WinReducer Project is community oriented, you will be able to discuss about the changes during all steps !
Here is the new monthly release schedule for the next years :

- Week 2 : new versions for "VIP" and "VIP+"
- Week 3 : new versions for "VIP" and "VIP+"

All these important changes, which are coming, will reflected by a profound modification of the website as well as the forum.
The website will continue to evolve, as already engaged, with:

The Forum will evolve on 17 June 2022 !
The most important changes will be done in the forum because this is the center of the WinReducer Community, so it deserves to evolve too.
But do not worry, the entire database will remain intact and you will be able to always find all your previous topics and discussions !
In fact, all forum categories will be simplified to provide an easier way to access to the information you need.
As already explained, you will find less software in the WinReducer.net website and forum but still the same functionalities as well as all requested or missing options.
The main particularity is that the WinReducer Series software will share the same development platform as the WinReducerOS software ... but not the same goal :
- the WinReducer Series software will fit perfectly to users who need a directly accessible and very dedicated software to achieve fast and precise Windows customization tasks
- the WinReducerOS software will be much more dedicated to users creativity and will require much more work in order to create your own solution
==> you will have the choice, depending on your skills level and/or your creativity, between two different software solution (one for direct execution and one to create and share your own creative execution) ... but with the same philosophy (the Windows customization) !
------------
So, let's begin the most fun part in few days !
