Easy Updates Manager 8.0.1 has been released and includes a ton of fixes and enhancements.

It now also includes a premium version, which you can buy for a low-low price of $89 a year.

Check out the premium video below:

New general screen

The general screen has been updated to be more user-friendly and given a CSS overhaul. You’ll find all the same options in past versions, but it works more seamless.

Logs

Logs have been refactored to increase reliability. You’ll find more options are available in logs now and that automatic and manual updates are shown more reliably.

You’ll also find a new “Clear Logs” button that will help keep your database lean. In Premium, you can schedule log clearance and log events to external channels and even have the option of exporting logs.

Theme and plugin tabs

Both themes and plugin tabs now work with Ajax, so there is no need to scroll down for the “Save” button.

We also show you which plugins are active on your site (or sub-sites if on multi site).

Re-worked advanced tab

Advanced options can be confusing, so we re-worked how they display and show more useful messages.

On premium, you’ll see a plethora of new options.
