Sadly my hopes for a more featured and streamlined UI on these apps were dashed. Version 8.x is nearly identical in appearance to 4.x. One change I did notice was that the Unity web interface migrated from a form-based login to an only-slightly-better HTTP basic authentication login scheme. Anyway, in both the old and &ldquo;new&rdquo; versions it takes about 100 clicks to get to anything, so one of the first things I wanted to do when I got here was to <em>automate</em> my common Unity administration tasks.</p>
