Beta on thu 13 Sep. final 3 weeks later. beta is the important one

Are we going to have a release video for 5.14? They are always a great way to make people aware of the new feature/fixes, but it obviously take quite a lot of time to produce one.

Michael @TuxDigital.com says he will make one

This problem that I mentioned in the kde-www mailing list is still not fixed:

There are a few translatable strings extracted from release
announcements' .php files like these:
  "Today KDE unveils a %1 release of Plasma %2."
  "Today KDE unveils the %1 release of Plasma %2."
  "Today KDE launches the %1 release of Plasma %2."
where "%1" in substituted by a hardcoded English word.

For example in announcements/plasma-5.14.0.php:
  i18n_var("Today KDE launches the %1 release of Plasma %2.", "first", "5.14")
the word "first" cannot be translated into other human languages.

Please fix. I guess even a static string "Today KDE launches the first
release of Plasma 5.14." would be better than what we have now.

In this message "The Breeze widget theme has improved shadows." it's unclear if a GUI widget theme (labels, text edits, combo boxes in regular apps) or Plasma widget theme is mentioned. Please clarify.

The sentence ".... we have improved the review section of the update notifier plasmoid, etc.." makes no sense to me because AFAIK the plasmoid does not have its own section with ratings/reviews.

Fixed the i18n bit
widget theme is the term used everywhere for Qt Widget theme. Plasma themes are called "desktop theme"
clarified notifier plasmoid stuff
thanks!
