Well take a look at our favorite new features in Ubuntus newest version, appropriately released on 10/10/10.
If youve been using Ubuntu for any length of time, the change is immediately noticeable.
The mail icon in the top panel provides a central location for notifications from Evolution, Empathy and Gwibber.
The first thing youll notice is a new section for featured and new software packages.
You will also see a few new entries in the list on the left.
One is History, giving you a detailed list of the packages youve installed or upgraded.
Another new entry is For Purchase software.
The Installer is Simpler and Faster
Note: The installer shown is from the 10.10 Release Candidate.
There have been a few small but extremely useful changes to the installer on the Ubuntu CD.
Why hasnt anyone thought of this before?
The Update Manager now shows displays a short description more prominently than the actual package name.
Shotwell is now the default software for organizing and making simple changes to photos, replacing F-Spot.
And, of course, many software packages have been updated to more recent versions.
