Ubuntu Tweak 0.6.0 released!

After more than two years’ cycle of design and development, Ubuntu Tweak 0.6 finally comes!

Back to two years ago, we made the mock-up of the future Ubuntu Tweak and told the concepts behind the new design.  Later we improved the design and started coding. Although the progress was slow, and I had to maintain the 0.5 version at the same time. At the year of 2011, many things happened, the development of Ubuntu Tweak stopped and started once and again. But finally, it is released.

After five years’ writing, I have a lot of my own thoughts, so most articles were written by me. A friend told me that it’s time to translate my articles back to English, to share with the people over the world.

So, here’s the first article not about Ubuntu Tweak. I don’t have a good written English yet, but I will improve. Just point out the grammar/word mistake, thanks!
