Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) Now Features a Much Better Software Updater

Canonical has upgraded a lot of aspects of Ubuntu 14.04, and the developers are pushing updates every day. The Software Updater has also received a sizable upgrade, making it a lot more user-friendly than ever before.

More and more new users are installing Ubuntu for the first time and not everyone is ready to upgrade the system from a terminal or from a simple interface that only shows what packages will be downloaded and installed.

The new Software Updater is now a lot more user-friendly and shows more details about what you are actually installing. This is a great improvement over the previous version present in Ubuntu 13.10, but it would be nice if more features were available, like a changelog for the new version of an app.

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is still under development and it's likely that the Software Updater will continue to get better.

Update: The changelog is shown under Technical Info for each package.
