R14.0.5 Release Notes
R14.0.5 is the fifth maintenance release of the R14.0 series,
and is built on and improves the previous R14.0.4 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.

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.
