That's bizarre. According to the web site, you employed "UI Interface
Designers."
I think you need new designers, that's far from intuitive.
Lucky for us they are happy to take suggestions and improve!
Figured this out - They had to remove the global new button, because the
UI now allows multiple hypervisor connections. So you need to be able to
have a new button that is linked to a specific connection. The button is
now there for each hypervisor on the right side. I didn't see the button
before. If you right-click, that's a second way to access it. I don't
think it will be too hard to make the button more obvious.
