With a slight delay (of almost one day), Unity was updated to version 3.6.0 in Ubuntu 11.04. This update doesn't bring major changes but it fixes a lot of bugs making Unity a lot more stable. You can check out the full Unity 3.6.0 changelog, HERE.
There is however one cool new feature in the latest Unity 3.6.0: you can now maximize Dash (notice the expander in the lower right corner):

Oh, and one more thing!

In case you've missed it, there was another interesting update today that brings upgrade support to the Ubuntu 11.04 Live CD installer.
