elementary OS 5.1.4 is here! This new release of the fast, open, and privacy-respecting replacement for Windows and macOS contains Screen Time & Limits, a revamped Applications Menu, deep System Settings search, an improved AppCenter, and more.
Applications Menu
The Applications Menu handles browsing, searching for, and launching both apps and app actions. This month we released a major update that greatly improves its responsiveness and fluidity on trackpads—and makes it easily usable on touchscreens as well. We’ve also updated the category view to show apps in a scrollable list instead of a grid, better supporting a classic menu workflow that some users have been asking for.
AppCenter
In April we released a major update to AppCenter with performance improvements, extension improvements, keyboard navigation improvements, and a number of fixes.
Performance-wise, AppCenter will now only check for updates at device startup or log in once daily; this ensures users are still getting updates in a timely manner, but AppCenter will be much lighter on CPU and memory usage when logging in multiple times per day. As always, AppCenter will still fetch the latest updates when opening the app. We also reduced slowdowns when opening apps that require AppCenter to fetch extra data.
We’ve cleaned up extensions in AppCenter: first, to de-clutter the updates view, extensions are only shown when they require an update. Second, selecting an extension from an app info page will take you to an info page for the extension. Lastly, we’ve swapped the main and overlay icons for extensions to clearly associate extensions with their app.
