If you’re using the latest elementary OS 0.4 Loki release on your personal computer, you’ll be happy to learn that there’s an update bringing better title and description to AppCenter’s payment dialog, along with better suppor for opening appstream:// URLs and a blacklist that’ll list all upstream core components and tools which aren’t compatible with elementary OS. Among other improvements brought by the August update for elementary OS 0.4 Loki users, we can mention better color contrast in application sidebars, rounded windows when maximized, compatibility fixes for GTK+ 3.20 and later, and better support for Bluetooth devices, which won’t be duplicated in the indicator anymore.
