An interesting thing to mention about this release is that it comes with a greatly improved GNOME Shell, Nautilus, NetworkManager and GNOME Control Center apps. Also, the Empathy IM client has a few interesting changes, as well as the GNOME Online Accounts and GNOME Settings Manager.
“The second update to GNOME 3.6 series is now available. As usual it provides bug fixes, translations updates and small improvements, in order to make our stable release even more stable and useful.”
