Some highlights of these changes are:
- Kernel 3.8 landed on Pixel and Samsung 550.

- Pin apps to the shelf using Drag and Drop from the Launcher
- Default wallpaper selection will sync across all your devices
- Monitor Scaling allows you to scale the UI. Especially useful on Pixel to get some more space
- Two-finger history navigation
- App launcher Search just got cleverer
- It will dynamically learn what you search for

- It will search for you in the web store if you don’t have an app installed
Known Issues:
