Hi all,

I would like to thank for all your echo, echo, echo,... You are also who helps the development go forward! Thanks to the development team, mirrors and infrastructure managers, translators, and also users whose testing and reporting issues is also an important part. It is great that we have such a coherent community here.

Now, after the release of R14.0.11, we are going to open a window to work on R14.0.12. There are already several pull-requests that are waiting to merge. And also our translators do not stop translating, where the translations will also be merged into the upcoming release.

If you used the Preliminary Stable Builds repository only temporarily, and you prefer to stick on the official final release, it is now the best time to switch to the official repository. The packages in both repositories will be identical for some time, so it is smooth to change the apt source if you want. Otherwise, we will be very happy if you help us in testing the upcoming release.

Along with the release of R14.0.11, the building of packages for Debian 8.x (Jessie) and Ubuntu 14.04.x (Trusty) will be stopped. So the upcoming R14.0.12 will no longer be available for these distributions - the packages will not be available in the PSB repository. If you are still using one of these distributions, you should consider upgrading to a newer version.

I intend to begin building R14.0.12 preliminary packages on November 7th.

Thank you for your support!

Cheers
