Ten years ago today, the Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) saw the release of its first version (3.5.11). Lot of things have happened since that day but TDE has continued to grow and flourish throughout the years. Today the project is healthier than ever, with dedicated self-hosted servers, regular releases, modern collaboration tools and a vibrant community of users and enthusiasts.
The development team is pleased to celebrate TDE's 10th birthday by announcing the immediate availability of the new TDE R14.0.8 release. TDE is a complete software desktop environment designed for Unix-like operating systems, intended for computer users preferring a traditional desktop model, and is free/libre software.
R14.0.8 is the eighth maintenance release of the R14.0 series, and is built on and improves the previous R14.0.7 version. Maintenance releases are intended to promptly bring bug fixes to users, while preserving overall stability through the avoidance of both major new features and major codebase re-factoring.
R14.0.8 Release Notes
This section highlights some of the most important fixes introduced by this maintenance release.
Bug fixes * Fixed avahi support * Fixed parsing of CPU cores frequency on some hardware * Fixed parsing of battery information on some hardware * Fixed detection of closing thelid on some hardware * Fixed incorrect update of KNote "last modified" field * Fixed several FTBFS caused by newer library versions * Fixed K3B crashes when trying to write an audio CD with cd text * Fixed tdenetworkmanager crashes
Enhancements * Many translation updates * Several packages have been migrated to CMake build system * For some packages have been dropped the automake build system * Added option to disable tdekbdledsync * Added option to select default file manager * The selected default terminal is also used for Open terminal here * Improved LibreSSL support * Improved musl libc support * Improved support for DilOS distribution * Improved support for XDG folders * Improved support for Pinebook Pro * Initial work to support reproducible builds * Initial support for translating desktop files using Weblate * Using Ninja build for Cmake building on FreeBSD * Dropped Kerry and code related to Beagle search
Security * CVE-2019-14744: Solved similar cases of arbitrary code execution from .desktop files

Useful notes on upgrading
Please read through the following notes before upgrading. If applicable to your system, follow the recommended steps. https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/index.php?title=Release_Notes_For_R14.0.8#Us...
Getting TDE
Installation instructions and binary packages are immediately available for Debian and Ubuntu. Packages for RedHat/CentOs, Fedora, Mageia, OpenSUSE, and PCLinuxOS are being built by their respective maintainers and may be already available or will be soon. Live CDs with TDE R14.0.8 preinstalled are or will be available soon on the LiveCDs page.
FreeBSD Support
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.
Credits and acknowledgements
We thanks all the people that are (or have been) involved in making TDE the great desktop environment that it is.
We would like to thank IntegriCloud for kindly providing a powerful physical server based on a secure POWER9 architecture that serves as the new TDE primary host and as a very powerful builder for ppc64el packages.
We would like to thank vpsFree for kindly providing free hosting for some of the TDE services, most notably our self-hosted TDE Gitea Workspace and TDE Weblate Translation Workspace.
We would like to thank all the people who have contributed to improve translations for many languages. We are looking forward for further contributions in future. https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Release_Notes_For_R14.0.8#Translators

A *BIG* Thank you to you development team for these ten years. Ten years after I still have not found any desktop that really compares with TDE.
Deepin DE is not bad (my wife uses it) but, as others have just pointed out, konqueror as a file manager has never been equalled. Just the fact that KDE throw it out shows they were heading the wrong way.
So again thank you for 10 years of happy Desktop life!

TDE-Trinity, the desktop who made me stay with Linux,
and the only best desktop (kde-3 well upgraded),
the others being away from TDE.
So good idea to maintain KDE-3.
Thank you !

Last evening my system update pulled in TDE R14.0.8. The only 'incident' on/after the next boot was a loss of my auto login -- which I believe was due to the update's replacement of tdmrc. An easy fix. A boring update -- the VERY BEST KIND! :-)
I've been a TDE user since I saw a reference to it on usenet very early in its version 3.5.11 days. It's been everything I could want it to be.
Thanks to all the the cracker-jack developers on the Trinty team! Good on you, mates!!
Best regards, Jonesy

No worries, the original email you sent copy/pasted fairly well, see:
http://inet-design.com/blogs/michael/trinity-desktop-environment-tde-turns-1...
Anyone is welcome to copy/paste that for their own site(s). It's not in a real 'press release' format, but it's good enough!
Best, Michael
