 * Adoption of the whisker menu
 * Desktop setup is more closely synced with '''Xubuntu''' in this release which results in a change in many of the preinstalled packages in our desktop meta.
 * New font: Droid has been replaced by Noto.
 * The categorization in the menu has changed from 5 categories down to 3 - '''audio''', '''graphics''' and '''video'''. '''Photography''' is now available as a subcategory under '''graphics'''.
 * The application '''ubuntustudio-controls''' is now functional and able to administer realtime privilege for users.
 * Ubuntu has followed Debian in moving from '''libav''' back to '''ffmpeg'''.
 * Special notice for '''ardour''' - there is now only one '''ardour''' in the archive now, and it is version 4. The package '''ardour3''' only exists as a transitional package and depends on '''ardour'''.
 * New selection of desktop backgrounds made by the winners of the community wallpaper-contest.
