The latest version of the project is elementary OS 5.1.2 “Hera”, which comes with updated packages, a new login screen and a application onboarding to guide new users to the available functions.
“The newly redesigned login and lockscreen greeter looks and works better, but also fixes many issues reported with the previous greeter, such as focus issues, HiDPI and localization issues.
The new design of the Hera version responds to feedback from users of the Juno version and adds some new features. It will always display usernames for all users, shows user backgrounds as cards so you can find them easier especially those without avatars, alerts when Caps or Num Lock is enabled and has a 'Log In' screen as Guest' is very special when enabled.
The new Onboarding application brought by the Hera version introduces the basic functions to the users and helps them to perform some common tasks after the first connection to the operating system, such as the management of privacy settings. ”
