Highlights for 5.15 include:

  • Setting the default cursor theme for GTK applications to Breeze
  • Many Flatpak improvements for Discover Software Store
  • A fix to the underlying code for the weather addon
  • Improved label legibility in Folder View
  • Fixing blurry previews in Widget Explorer
  • Bugfixes for Kickoff menu
