Unity 5.4 has already been released, adding new features (including a new lens, Unity Video lens) and overall polish.

Unity-2D shares code with Unity, thus being more and more closer to its development phase, meaning, after every Unity release (with features, UI improvements, etc), Unity-2D follows almost the same additions (there are, isolate cases, where a feature is first introduced in Unity-2D, then released into the 3D version).

Unity-2D has landed in Ubuntu 12.04, bringing long-awaited improvements, making it "hard" to distinguish (from an appearance point-of-view) from Unity 3D.

What is new in Unity-2D 5.4?

• Dash's home view features Recent Apps, Recent Files and Downloads

when the Dash is opened, the top bar becomes transparent (a plus towards consistency)

redesigned top bar's close/minimize/maximize buttons

improved Dash "memory" (remembers its last state, like maximized/fullscreen, meaning, if the Dash is maximized and closed, when it is opened again will be in fullscreen mode)

functional new default lens, Unity Video lens

by default, the launcher is locked to the desktop, to auto-hide it, navigate to System Settings-->Appearance-->Behavior-->check Auto-hide the Launcher ON

minor UI improvements

overall speed increase

• unity-2d
• precise pangolin
