Looking at the changelog, we can notice a fix for some window focus issues that occurred when starting the file manager, a fix for the handling of the command-line options in certain cases, as well as the addition of a public API (Application Programming Interface) documentation for developers who want to create Nautilus extensions. Furthermore, the user interface suffered some modifications, as the developers decreased the padding on the list view, and are now using a separate dialog for renaming and creating files or folders, which was actually introduced a while ago.
