New Project Lead
In January 2016 we had an election for a new project lead, and the winner was Set Hallström, who will be taking over the project lead position right after this release. He will be continuing for another two years until the next election in 2018.
The team of developers has also seen a positive increase lately, which bodes well for the future. So, all in all, this release marks a new page in the history of Ubuntu Studio and makes the distribution as strong as it has ever been.

Short list of new features:
- ubuntustudio-controls rewritten from scratch (also in Wily) for administering realtime privilege for user.
- Desktop setup more closely synced with Xubuntu for this release
