Release Notes For R14.0.4

Introduction

The Trinity Desktop Environment 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.

R14.0.4 is the fourth maintenance release of the R14.0 series, and is built on and improves the previous R14.0.3 version.
Maintenance releases are intended to promptly bring bug fixes to users, while preserving overall stability through the avoidance of both new features and major codebase re-factoring.
