The new hardware stack also brings better support for backlights and touchpads on certain laptops, a host of performance and power-related improvements, and support for 5th generation Intel processors. This release should also improve support for (U)EFI systems, especially when installing without an Internet connection. elementary OS Freya 0.3.1 includes all previously-released updates to Freya, plus a host of new updates to our included apps.
