Yasu 0.7 Released

Mac OSX System Optimization Utility, Yasu, has been updated to version 0.7. Yasu is designed to be a quick first line of defense for solving OSX related issues, it has been developed with System Administrators who service large groups of workstations in mind, enabling them to perform a specific group of maintenance tasks quickly within a few clicks, rather than endlessly typing shell script commands in the Terminal app.
The latest version of Yasu is a maintenance release that optimizes internal performance and addresses an issue related to how a workstation reboots once finished. It is recommended that current users update to the latest version.
