Just a few days ago, Canonical just released a stable version of Ubuntu 15.10 wily werewolf, and now you can download it and install it on your computer. In today's article, we will learn about the new features worth attention in the new version of Ubuntu 15.10, and discuss what important content the new version has.

1. Linux kernel 4.2

Ubuntu 15.10 is released as standard as Linux kernel 4.2. The new kernel version has brought about a lot of changes, including support for new amd gpu drivers, ncq trim processing, queuing spin locks, F2FS single file encryption, and a variety of new or updated drivers.

　2. Unity 7.3.2

As the main desktop solution of Ubuntu 15.10, Unity has been updated to version 7.3.2. The new version not only fixes a large number of bugs, but also improves the level of refinement and brings a lot of small-scale availability improvements. Next let's take a look at the various new features in Unity 7.3.2:

◆ Allows you to drag an application directly from Dash to the desktop and create a shortcut for it.

◆ In Dash, press the Page up/Page down key on the keyboard to scroll down.

◆ The Dash title and BFB tooltip will be updated based on the user's privacy settings.

◆ The session exit button now has the click special effect.

◆ Fixed the "off" problem caused by screen lock.

◆ The active application icon displays its details when the starter is expanded.

◆ Modify the full screen menu bar.

◆ Fixed the problem that "display desktop" may cause the disappearance of one window in two windows of the same application.

◆ Dash: Non-extensible type titles can be navigated by keyboard shortcuts.

◆ Dash: Non-extensible type titles are no longer displayed in highlighted mode when the mouse is suspended.

◆ Dash: fixed the screen reader and KeyNav functions.

◆ New settings are added to control the help display latency (when the Alt key is pressed ).

◆ Adjust the logic to avoid opening adjacent menus when you move the cursor from the indicator image to its menu.

3. GNOME 3.16 Stack

Another major adjustment in this new version is that most of the software packages in the GNOME Stack are updated to version 3.16.x. This is good news because these software packages have been significantly improved since they are updated. Unfortunately, the nautilus File Manager in Ubuntu 15.10 is still version 3.14, while the Gedit file editor file is still version 3.10.

4. Introduce the GNOME Overlay scroll bar

In Ubuntu 15.10, Ubuntu developers have decided to use the GNOME Overlay scroll bar and use it to replace the Unity stack scroll bar for the GTK3 application. Its essential functions are no different from those of the latter. However, the GNOME Overlay scroll bar is more clearly designed and will always be displayed to remind users of the current browsing position, instead of moving the mouse to the corresponding position as in the past, you can see its existence.

5. Ubuntu Make

As a command line tool, Ubuntu Make allows users to download the latest versions of popular Developer Tools on Ubuntu in a more convenient way. It now supports more platforms, frameworks, and services, including a complete Android development environment.

6. Persistent Network Interface Name

Ubuntu developers also introduced the stateless persistent Network Interface Name mechanism in Ubuntu 15.10, Which means we no longer need to name the network interface eth0 or eth1, A more comprehensive description name can be used. In addition, even if we restart the device or remove the hardware, the above name will continue to take effect.

7. Support for Steam Controllers

In the latest version, Ubuntu developers also added support for the Steam controller in Ubuntu 15.10. Now, the updated Steam package seems to only run on Ubuntu 15.10, but in the future we may be able to use the updated patch to make other earlier versions compatible with it. This means that Ubuntu 15.10 users will be able to access the new controller, enable Steam, and then play the game smoothly without any consulting tutorials.

8. New default Wallpaper

Ubuntu 15.10 provides a new default wallpaper, which is said to have originated from origami crafts. In addition, the new version contains a new set of wallpapers from the community.

9. core application updates

Ubuntu 15.10 also updates core applications, including:

◆ Firefox 41

◆ Chromium 45

◆ LibreOffice 5.0.2

◆ Totem (the original 'video') 3.16

◆ Nautilus (the original 'file') 3.14.2

◆ Rhythmbox 3.2.1

◆ GNOME Terminal 3.16

◆ Eye of GNOME 3.16

◆ Empathy 3.12.10

◆ Shotwell 0.22
