Description:
Version
8 of the Ubuntu-based elementary OS has been released. This
release includes a rewritten Dock, new window-management features,
improvements in the installation and initial setup procedures for
visually impaired users, as well as a new Secure Session mode: In the Secure 
Session, apps will be more restricted and will require
your consent for access to system features. When an app wants to
listen in the background for your keystrokes, take a screenshot,
record the screen, or even pick up the color from a single pixel, you
will be asked first to make sure that it's okay. The Secure Session
also comes with other modern features like support for Mixed DPI
modesA hotly requested feature for folks using a HiDPI notebook or
tablet with a LoDPI external displayand improved support for
multi-touch gestures on touch screens and tablets.
