We have been featuring a few proposals this week for what "Jenkins 2.0" is going to include. Today we'll be diving into the most noticeable changes being proposed for Jenkins 2.0: the User Experience (UX) improvements

Thus far in this blog series we have reviewed proposals covering:

• Introducing a policy for API deprecation
• Splitting Groovy out of 'core'
• Pipeline as code front and center

The UX improvements being proposed aren't necessarily as uniform as the proposals from earlier in the week but represent a large amount of prototype and exploratory work done by folks like Tom Fennelly, Gus Reiber and a few others. Those following the dev list may have already seen some of these proposals in some of the "mega threads" that we have had discussing potential UI/UX improvements previously.

The improvements proposed for 2.0 can be found under JENKINS-31156. The most promising proposal under this issue is to update the plugin manager experience.

Another very important proposal for 2.0 worth mentioning is the proposal to update UI work well on mobile devices.
