No, it's still available. You can turn it on under System Preferences > Mission Control.

I'm a little disappointed that Deliveries doesn't have notifications. What's the point when I could just go to the order status page? Hopefully they'll add this in an update.

When I select the 'share" button to email a weblink it says "No Service", any suggestions?

Also, does any one have a summery of what does and doesn't work on different mac models with Yosemite?

Yosemite, Macbook Pro, mid 2010

I have the same issue with my mid-2012 rMBP.

I had the same problem with the sharing icon in yosemite. The solution was https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6602864

You can change this back to the pre-Lion way of doing things by going into Mission Control prefs and have the Dashboard show as an overlay (Apple have changed this .. it used to be a checkbox as to whether or not you wanted the Dashboard to show as a space or not).

Yeah, but it still covers the entire screen. Notification Center only covers a small portion of the screen. But it really is a matter of preference.

Dashboard > Notifications bar

I really hate that Apple is going to kill Dashboard since I still regularly use it for a lot of things.
PEMDAS* is IMO the best calculator on OS X.
k-notes* is great for notes.
The Translation widget is still great.
But most importantly, web snippets are the best and would be a big loss if Apple shut Dashboard down. All of mine are for sports scores/upcoming games/league table.

Combine all this with BetterTouchTool* and you can access the Dash with a two finger swipe from the top edge of the trackpad (using Dashboard as an overlay).

*These are all free

Google's Android causes Apple to wake up to the many advantages of widgets.

Thanks Google, for being the innovator!

OS X has had widgets for quite a while.

OS X has had widgets for quite a while.

Using Macs as my primary personal computer since 1991 I'm well aware of the history. Yet it's only recently that Apple finally brought highly useful widgets specifically designed to work across the desktop and iOS devices.
