New apps landed in AppCenter in June
Among other noteworthy changes, it's now possible to use the middle-click mouse button on the session indicator if you want to jump straight to the shutdown dialog. Of course, there are also numerous updated core components, improved translations, general code cleaning, and the usual stability and performance fixes.
"While you’re at it, be sure to check out some of the new apps that landed in AppCenter this month! We’re now over 20 apps including an excellent BitTorrent client, a handy color picker applet, and a new notes app. Plus, many developers have updated their apps with fixes and new features," says Daniel Foré in the announcement.
To get June's updates, make sure you update your elementary OS installations as soon as possible by firing up AppCenter and hitting that "Update All" button. Probably there are quite some packages that need to be downloaded, so be patient and reboot your system when the installation is complete.
