After you have installed updates, you are able to review what has been installed. Currently we point the user to the standard updates view in the Software app - this can be confusing, since it isn't clear whether these are pending updates, or updates that have already been installed.

My current view is that we should show the update review in a dialog - this will be much clearer. It could also help with bug 715171.

I have a wip/installed_updates branch ready that moves the installed updates to a dialog.

A quick demo showing this: http://kalev.fedorapeople.org/gnome-software-installed-updates.webm

That looks much less confusing, thanks.
Comment 3 Allan Day 2014-05-12 12:06:01 UTC 
Looks good, although there's something wrong with the highlight effect on hover - the background of the whole row should change colour.
Comment 4 Kalev Lember 2014-05-12 12:49:03 UTC 
Good catch, thanks -- fixed on the branch.
Comment 5 Kalev Lember 2014-05-14 14:08:34 UTC 
I've merged it to master now. Please let me know if anything else with the dialog needs fine tuning.
