• Universal copy & paste is now bidirectional (until now, this only worked one way: copying something on your Android device and pasting it on the Ubuntu desktop). For this feature to work, you need to enable Universal copy & paste in both Pushbullet Indicator and the Pushbullet app on your mobile device; 
• send SMS from the desktop. Important: using this feature, the SMS is sent via your mobile phone so it doesn't mean that the SMS is free! Unfortunately, to use this feature, you must know the phone number because Pushbullet Indicator doesn't retrieve your contacts list;
• reply to Whatsapp, Telegram and SMS from the desktop (you must enable this from the Pushbullet Indicator settings);
• you can now select the device to send text/links/files/etc. from the PushBullet send dialog.

Skype for Linux webcam set to DroidCam on my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop

• Chat using "DroidCam Webcam" on your computer, including Sound and Picture;
• Connect over Wifi, Bluetooth or USB cable;
• Simple and efficient: designed to save battery and space as much as possible.

Install DroidCam in Ubuntu / Linux Mint via PPA

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:paolorotolo/droidcam
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install droidcam

• display notifications from your Android device on your desktop (requires Android 4.3+);
• send files from your Android device to your desktop and the other way around "without wires";
• touchpad emulation: use your phone screen as your computer's touchpad (keyboard emulation is also available);
• shared clipboard between your phone and computer;
• display your phone's battery status on the desktop;
• multimedia remote control: use your Android device to control various Linux media players;
• RSA Encryption.

• displays the device name, status and battery level;
• menu item to request for pairing and unpairing;
• menu item to start sftp and open the file browser.

• you can only pair the device by sending the request from the desktop (I'll add instructions below) - that's because Unity (and some other DEs) don't support clicking on notifications to accept or reject the pairing request;
• KDE Connect Indicator depends on KDE Connect (obviously), which depends on quite a few KDE packages that will be installed even though you're not using KDE. Unfortunately there's no way around this.

How to install KDE Connect Indicator and the latest KDE Connect in Ubuntu

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vikoadi/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-kdeconnect kdeconnect

• OAuth support: you no longer have to login to the Pushbullet website, copy the APi key and introduce it into the app, etc. You simply log in when prompted by the AppIndicator and that's it;
• notification mirroring: receive notifications from your Android (doesn't support iOS!) device on your desktop for phone calls, messages, notifications from third-party apps, etc;
• you can now send pushes (files, links, notes, etc.) from your mobile device to the desktop, feature which wasn't available in the previous Pushbullet Indicator release. Furthermore, you can send pushes between any connected device (so even from one desktop to another). To see the pushes sent to the desktop, you need to select "Show last push" from the Pushbullet AppIndicator menu.

Note that I couldn't test the new Android notification mirroring feature because my old Android device (Samsung Galaxy S II) broke, so the notification screenshot below is via atareao.es.

Here are a few screenshots with some of the changes mentioned above:

• Pushbullet Indicator and the Pushbullet Nautilus extension must be authenticated separately;
• after adding a new device, you may need to restart the indicator (select "Quit" and then start it again from the menu / Dash) and Nautilus (to restart Nautilus, type "nautilus -q" in a terminal).

• Added Android 4.3 virtual devices;
• Indie or Business license only: new remote control widget which allows you to control the accelerometer and multi-touch gestures in your application directly from any real device;
• Indie or Business license only: new screencast widget which allows you to take screenshots or screencasts from any Genymotion virtual device;
• drag&drop support (this requires ADB to be correctly set up in the Genymotion settings):
• if you drag&drop an APK from your computer to the virtual device, it will be installed and launched automatically;
• ZIP packages containing /system directory tree will be deployed automatically;
• the virtual device creation window now lets you filter devices by Android version, device name; also, a search bar has been added;
• Android 2.3 (yes, 2.3!) virtual device available as a preview with this release;
• a slideshow describing some Genymotion features and tips is now displayed while waiting for your virtual device to be installed;
• it's now possible to change the folder where Genymotion virtual devices are stored;

Unfortunately, you can't interact with the notifications so you can directly reply to a message from the desktop for instance. However, the application is still useful, especially if you're using a tool such as Recent Notifications Indicator which keeps a list of recent notifications so you can read them even after the notifications fade away (also, Linux Mint and Linux Deepin come with their own notifications centers which offer the same functionality).
