Further more, Fedora has also switched to LibreOffice recently.<br /><br />This breaks a bit the idea of having an Ubuntu spin that offers a pure GNOME experience, but the reasons behind the change do make sense. However, maybe shipping with both Epiphany and Firefox by default would be a better idea.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the same message, Jeremy has also asked for Ubuntu GNOME Remix users' opinion about not shipping with an email client by default, because many use webmail anyway and those who actually use an email client don't have a clear favourite, using both Evolution and Thunderbird. What do you think?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This of course doesn't mean you can't install Epiphany, Abiword, Gnumeric, Evolution or Thunderbird - they will be available for installation via Ubuntu Software Center like any other application so these changes will only affect the default application stack.</div><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><i>via LP (<a href="http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/+source/ubuntu-gnome-meta/0.7">1</a>, <a href="http://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/msg00265.html">2</a>), <a href="http://sejalivre.org/ubuntu-gnome-remix-vira-com-firefox-e-libreoffice-porem-sem-clientes-de-e-mail/">sejalivre.org</a></i></div>

According to a <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1081843">bug report</a>, it looks like Unity might also get support for switching between windows by scrolling on the application icon. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Besides the new quicklists window switching feature, the latest Unity comes with many bug fixes for multiple monitors and more. Also, the workspace switcher icon is no longer added by default on the Unity Launcher, but you can re-add it via System Settings (<i>System Settings > Appearance > Behavior tab > Enable workspaces</i>).<br /><br /><b>Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail is currently under development, so this feature may change until the final release! </b><br /><br />A complete changelog for today's Unity update can be found <a href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/+source/unity/6.12.0daily13.02.19.1-0ubuntu1">here</a>.</div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Browse our <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/search/label/raring%20ringtail?max-results=10">Raring Ringtail</a> tag for more news about the Ubuntu 13.04 development.</div>
