Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot has been released! The new version uses Unity as the default interface on top of the GNOME 3.2 application stack. The launcher, panel, indicators and so on have all been ported to GTK3.
New Unity design
Unity (3d) has a complete new design in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot.
There are no more Files / Application places and the Dash button is now placed on the Unity Launcher. Instead of the "places", there are now built-in "lenses" for files, applications and music [1].
Also, Dash has its own window buttons which can be used to maximize or close it [2]. Further more, all Unity elements become semi-transparent...
