Sorcery 1.14.1 Release Notes
Stable Sorcery 1.14.1 has finally been released! Two years in the making, it contains lots of new features, changes and bugfixes. It is the first stable release of the 1.14 branch.
Executive executive summary: sub-dependencies, stage-root (cast castfs to use it), runtime/suggested dependencies
For the major part of the release notes, look at this page: Sorcery/Releases/Sorcery_1.14.0_Release_Notes.
Since the test 1.14.0 release, the changes consist mostly of bugfixes. The most noticable new feature is the improvement in choosing the default for the provider query when you have more than one provider installed and the previously chosen one isn't the first one in the list. If you're still following: that isn't a problem anymore. 
Here is the ChangeLog:
