Unity (and Ubuntu 11.04 in general) got a lot of minor new features lately. Nothing big, but there are a lot of them. Here is a video with some of these changes in the latest Unity 3.6.8 (as of today):
In the above Unity video you'll notice:
- new icons for Unity Places Files / Applications, workspace switcher as well as the top left Ubuntu logo
- double clicking top panel restores maximized window
- new scrollbars in Dash
- Ubuntu Software Center now asks if you want to add a shortcut for the newly installed application to the launcher
- Unity grab handles (for touch devices tough I've used it on a regular netbook)
- drag icon trash - removes it
The video also includes the new experimental overlay scrollbars (here's how to set them default in Ubuntu 11.04) which are not yet default in Ubuntu 11.04.
Overall, Ubuntu 11.04 is feeling a lot more stable lately, however there are a lot of incomplete (or completely missing) features. I've already upgraded to Natty on my netbook but I'm still thinking if I should do it already on my main computer. How about you, have you upgraded to Natty already?
