Many thanks, so, following this link, the command

sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.anon-whonix

 should download Whonix 14, correct?

But the same link tells that this would download templates whonix-gw and
whonix-ws. But these are the same names of the old templates. So am I
expected to rename the old templates before calling the above command?

After more than two years of development, the Whonix Project is proud<br>
to announce the release of Whonix 14.<br>
<br>
Whonix 14 is based on the Debian stretch (Debian 9) distribution which<br>
was released in June 2017. This means users have access to many new<br>
software packages in concert with existing packages such as a modern<br>
branch of GNuPG, and more. [1][2][3]<br>
<br>
**Major Changes and New Features**<br>
<br>
Whonix 14 contains extensive security and usability improvements, new<br>
features and bug fixes. For a detailed description of these and other<br>
changes, please refer to the official release notes. [4]<br>
<br>
* Rebased Whonix on **Debian stretch** (Debian 9).<br>
* Whonix 14 is **64-bit** (amd64) only - 32-bit (i386) images will no<br>
longer be built and made available for download. [5]<br>
* The new **Anon Connection Wizard** [6] feature in Whonix simplifies<br>
connections to the Tor network via a Tor bridge and/or a proxy.<br>
* The Tor pluggable transport **meek_lite** [7] is now supported,<br>
making it much easier to connect to the Tor network in heavily<br>
censored areas, like China. [8]<br>
* **Onioncircuits** are installed by default in Whonix. [9]<br>
* Tails&#39; **onion-grater** program has been implemented to enable<br>
**OnionShare, Ricochet and Zeronet** compatibility with Whonix. [10]<br>
* **Onion sources** are now preferred for Whonix updates/upgrades for<br>
greater security.<br>
* Reduced the size of the default, binary Whonix images by<br>
approximately **35 per cent** using zerofree. [11] [12]<br>
* **Updated Tor** to version 3.3.7 (stable) release to enable full v3<br>
onion functionality for both hosting of onion services and access to<br>
v3 onion addresses in Tor Browser.<br>
* Created the **grub-live package** [13] which can run Whonix as a<br>
**live system** on non-Qubes-Whonix platforms. [14]<br>
* Corrected and hardened various **AppArmor profiles** to ensure the<br>
correct functioning of Tor Browser, obfsproxy and other applications.<br>
<br>
<br>
**Known Issues**<br>
<br>
* Desktop shortcuts are no longer available in non-Qubes-Whonix.<br>
* OnionShare is not installed by default in Whonix 14 as it is not in<br>
the stretch repository. [15] It can still be manually installed by<br>
following the Whonix wiki instructions [16] or building it from source<br>
code. [17]<br>
* Enabling seccomp (Sandbox 1) in /usr/local/etc/torrc.d/50_<wbr>user.conf<=
br>
causes the Tor process to crash if a Tor version lower than 0.3.3 is<br>
used. [18] [19]<br>
<br>
<br>
While there may be other issues that exist in this declared stable<br>
release, every effort has been made to address major known problems.<br>
<br>
Please report any other issues to us in the forums, after first<br>
searching for whether it is already known.<br>
