and is built on and improves the previous R14.0.6 version.</para>

to users, while preserving overall stability through the avoidance
of both major new features and major codebase re-factoring.</para>

<sect2 id="release-notes-r14.0.7-hints">
<title>Useful notes on upgrading</title>
<para>When upgrading from previous releases you may run into some of
the following use cases. Follow the recommended instructions to minimize
potential problems.</para>

<sect3 id="release-notes-r14.0.7-hints-gpg">
<title>New GPG signing key for deb repositories</title>
<para>A new GPG key is now used to sign Debian / Raspbian / Ubuntu repositories.</para>
<para>If you use any of such distros and already have the trinity-keyring
package installed, changing the GPG key for the repository will not affect
you. If you do not have the trinity-keyring package installed, you must
first obtain a new GPG key as described in Import GPG signing key otherwise
the repository will be reported as untrusted.</para>
</sect3>

<sect3 id="release-notes-r14.0.7-hints-kpilot">
<title>Conflict between KPilot and tde-i18n packages</title>
<para>For historical reasons KPilot translations were part of the tde-i18n
package. Now the translations have been carved out from tde-i18n and moved
to the kpilot package.</para>
<para>If you have kpilot installed, we recommend uninstalling the package
before upgrading to the new release to avoid conflicts of translation files.
You can reinstall KPilot after the upgrade process has completed.</para>
</sect3>

<sect3 id="release-notes-r14.0.7-hints-dbus">
<title>Removed dbus policy at_console</title>
<para>A newer version of SystemD has removed the dbus policy at_console.
As a result, communication with the TDE Hardware Control daemon may stop
working.</para>
<para>While this will be addressed in the R14.1.0 release, for the time
being if you encounter this problem we recommend to change the policy from
at_console="true" to some other acceptable options such as group="users"
in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.trinitydesktop.hardwarecontrol.conf.</para>

<sect2 id="release-notes-r14.0.7-freebsd">
<title>FreeBSD Support</title>
<para>TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD, although still partial
given some of the new issues that have arisen with the latest versions
of FreeBSD. The TDE team will try their best to improve support for
FreeBSD but progress will probably be slow. Additional developers or
contributors willing to help porting the remaining features and
applications are always welcome.</para>
