Linux Mint development team officially announces the release of first major update of Linux Mint 17.1 "Qiana" which includes new and additional features for Update Manager. This update mainly includes enhanced Update Manager with new UI and other new features.

According to official announcement, the Linux Mint 17.1 Update Manager comes with redesigned kernel selection page. More text is added to give vulgarized yet pertinent information to users about the nature of bug fixes, security fixes and regressions and to details for each kernel, known fixes and known regressions.

The Linux Mint developers suggest that "the best solution is to apply updates and install newer kernels when you actually need it which is on a case by case basis and without taking unnecessary risks.Unlike other systems and distributions which recommend an “apply everything blindly” policy, we believe that decision can only be yours and for this reason information is key". Also, review recent Linux Distro Updates and what's new in them ?

The Update Manager is not magically detecting regressions, it will only ever report them based on feedback. Same thing goes for bug fixes, although security notices will be accurate, your feedback is very welcome regarding hardware support improvements and bug fixes.
