Spread improvements, HighDPI support, new decorations, and the usual bug-fixes are also making it into the new LTS release. Is Unity starting to grow up?"

    While we're at it, if Unity and Gnome Shell are trying to save vertical space, why do they force the panel to be stuck at the top of the screen? I tried it when I used Gnome shell, and it's acceptable, but I far prefer to have a panel at the left side of my screen. I did it even back when I used Windows 95. It works quite nicely in KDE, Xfce, etc. Those vertical pixels are at a premium, even with multiple monitors.
