The fifth alpha version of the upcoming Ubuntu 9.04 (codename Jaunty Jackalope) was uploaded a few minutes ago on the official mirrors. As usual, we've downloaded a copy of it in order to keep you up to date with the latest changes in the Ubuntu 9.04 development.

Among the new features we can notice a couple of new desktop effects. For example, when you enter the GNOME session you will now notice a nice fade effect that makes the transition from the login manager to the desktop. Also, when you change your workspaces... the desktop will not slide anymore, only the opened windows (this is the result of a modification in Compiz's Desktop Wall plugin).
And now, for the "hot stuff".... As you (probably) already know, there is a new notification system implemented a week ago. It is called Notify OSD and it can handle both keyboard actions, such as volume and brightness, and application notifications. Full Story |
