Well, I should have checked first, I'm not quite correct :-) The way I understand it, the improvements in software centre (apart from ratings and reviews) include an easier way to add PPAs, which should make new versions of software easier to discover without having to know what PPAs are. I can't find the exact details and the blueprint [1] is not as clear as it could be but my understanding is that's what is meant by making it possible for "New applications [to] show up in the software center".
