Thank you, Christoph

This is helpful.

The announcement and Dot story (actually all release announcements) are 
intended to provide information about development activities. It's not 
appropriate to feature only "new and improved stuff"...my error.

KDE Development is the foundation of the Community. Directly or 
indirectly, it's what we do.

To all developers...
If you've been working on something and you want to get the word out 
about it, please email these lists or add to
https://notes.kde.org/p/release_4.14_kde-devel_notes (KDE Identity 
required for sign-in)

Carl
