+<title>Summary</title>
+
+<para>This document contains important information for users, developers, and packagers. This document is
+intended for people who are migrating from previous versions of Trinity. If you are a using Trinity for the
+first time, then you can ignore the contents of this document.</para>
+
+<para>The Trinity Desktop is a full software desktop environment designed for Unix-like operating systems,
+intended for computer users preferring a traditional desktop model focusing primarily on retaining the overall
+KDE 3.5 user experience and efficiency. Trinity is free/libre software.</para>
+
+<para>First, thank you to the many people who contributed to all of these improvements. Many people played a
+role, including bug fixing, enhancements, testing, etc.</para>
+
+<para>Many changes were made to Trinity after the release of 3.5.13.</para>
+
+<para>An obvious change is the version scheme. Trinity evolved from the last KDE 3.5 release, 3.5.10. Subsequent
+Trinity releases followed that numbering scheme. Release R14.0.0 marks a turning point in Trinity history
+because a great deal of the code infrastructure was changed. While those changes do not effect the usability or
+look-and-feel of the desktop that users enjoy, Trinity developers believe a change in the version scheme
+distinguishes when those changes occurred. An original project goal by users was to retain the flavor of the
+original KDE 3.5 desktop. That goal remains intact. To reflect that original goal, the last number in the
+original version scheme is retained in the new version scheme but is now the primary version number. While the
+infrastructure has changed, the desktop itself remains the same as the original KDE 3.5. This new version scheme
+indicates a modest divergence from the original KDE 3.5 series and that Trinity is now its own desktop
+environment. The new version scheme reminds users that Trinity retains the original KDE 3.5 design, but is
+moving forward as a separate desktop project.</para>
+
+<para>Notable changes include renaming and rebranding efforts to avoid conflicts with KDE4. Both Trinity and
+KDE4 have roots in KDE3. These changes focus on promoting a peaceful coexistence between the two desktop
+environments when both are installed concurrently on the same system as well as avoid possible trademark
+issues.</para>

+<title>Usability Changes</title>
+
+<para>Because of the wide-scale renaming efforts, existing KDE3 and 3.5.13.x user profile directories will not
+function properly under R14.0.0. Don't worry.</para>
+
+<para>When logging into Trinity R14.0.0, the starttde script (nee startkde), performs profile checks to ensure
+settings and configurations are migrated correctly. These checks include preserving the original KDE3/3.5.13.x
+profile directory as-is while using those files as the basis to create the new R14.0.0 profile named
+$HOME/.trinity.</para>
+
+<para>The underlying migration checking has been tested, but because of the renaming and rebranding efforts,
+upstream packagers should test support scripts for problems and anomalies.</para>
+
+<para>There is another special script to help update profile directories. That script is
+/opt/trinity/bin/migratekde3. This script is intended for people using versions of Trinity prior to 3.5.13.
+Before starting R14.0.0 the first time, use this script to update any KDE3 profile directory. The definition of
+a KDE3 profile directory includes Trinity 3.5.11 and 3.5.12. The script will look for profile directory names
+of ~/.kde3, ~/.kdemod3, and ~/.kde. Because the latter directory name is also used in KDE4, several tests are
+performed to ensure the directory is a KDE3 profile and not KDE4.</para>
+
+<para>The renaming might cause certain shortcuts and menu links to stop functioning. The underlying migration
+checks performed when logging into R14.0.0 for the first time should find all of these differences, but fixing
+those that are missed is straightforward. All that is needed is knowing the new name of the command or
+application. For example, changing kdesu to tdesu, although that specific change is covered by the
+scripts.</para>
+
+<para>The Trinity launcher menu, tdemenu (nee kmenu), has been reorganized to reduce clutter. In addition to
+built-in XDG changes in *.desktop files, There are two methods available to manage KDE4 apps in the Trinity
+menu. One method includes a build-time configuration option in tdelibs, WITH_KDE4_MENU_SUFFIX, that adds a
+"[KDE4]" tag to KDE4 menu items. This tag helps identify apps of the same name. The default is OFF and requires
+a package rebuild to change. A second method includes a global menu replacement, tde-applications.menu-no-kde
+that explicitly excludes KDE4 apps from the menu. Using that special menu requires administrative privileges to
+update.</para>

+<title>Summary</title>
+
+<para>This document contains important information for users, developers, and packagers. This document is
+intended for people who are migrating from previous versions of Trinity. If you are a using Trinity for the
+first time, then you can ignore the contents of this document.</para>
+
+<para>The Trinity Desktop is a full software desktop environment designed for Unix-like operating systems,
+intended for computer users preferring a traditional desktop model focusing primarily on retaining the overall
+KDE 3.5 user experience and efficiency. Trinity is free/libre software.</para>
+
+<para>First, thank you to the many people who contributed to all of these improvements. Many people played a
+role, including bug fixing, enhancements, testing, etc.</para>
+
+<para>Many changes were made to Trinity after the release of 3.5.13.</para>
+
+<para>An obvious change is the version scheme. Trinity evolved from the last KDE 3.5 release, 3.5.10. Subsequent
+Trinity releases followed that numbering scheme. Release R14.0.0 marks a turning point in Trinity history
+because a great deal of the code infrastructure was changed. While those changes do not effect the usability or
+look-and-feel of the desktop that users enjoy, Trinity developers believe a change in the version scheme
+distinguishes when those changes occurred. An original project goal by users was to retain the flavor of the
+original KDE 3.5 desktop. That goal remains intact. To reflect that original goal, the last number in the
+original version scheme is retained in the new version scheme but is now the primary version number. While the
+infrastructure has changed, the desktop itself remains the same as the original KDE 3.5. This new version scheme
+indicates a modest divergence from the original KDE 3.5 series and that Trinity is now its own desktop
+environment. The new version scheme reminds users that Trinity retains the original KDE 3.5 design, but is
+moving forward as a separate desktop project.</para>
+
+<para>Notable changes include renaming and rebranding efforts to avoid conflicts with KDE4. Both Trinity and
+KDE4 have roots in KDE3. These changes focus on promoting a peaceful coexistence between the two desktop
+environments when both are installed concurrently on the same system as well as avoid possible trademark
+issues.</para>

+<title>Usability Changes</title>
+
+<para>Because of the wide-scale renaming efforts, existing KDE3 and 3.5.13.x user profile directories will not
+function properly under R14.0.0. Don't worry.</para>
+
+<para>When logging into Trinity R14.0.0, the starttde script (nee startkde), performs profile checks to ensure
+settings and configurations are migrated correctly. These checks include preserving the original KDE3/3.5.13.x
+profile directory as-is while using those files as the basis to create the new R14.0.0 profile named
+$HOME/.trinity.</para>
+
+<para>The underlying migration checking has been tested, but because of the renaming and rebranding efforts,
+upstream packagers should test support scripts for problems and anomalies.</para>
+
+<para>There is another special script to help update profile directories. That script is
+/opt/trinity/bin/migratekde3. This script is intended for people using versions of Trinity prior to 3.5.13.
+Before starting R14.0.0 the first time, use this script to update any KDE3 profile directory. The definition of
+a KDE3 profile directory includes Trinity 3.5.11 and 3.5.12. The script will look for profile directory names
+of ~/.kde3, ~/.kdemod3, and ~/.kde. Because the latter directory name is also used in KDE4, several tests are
+performed to ensure the directory is a KDE3 profile and not KDE4.</para>
+
+<para>The renaming might cause certain shortcuts and menu links to stop functioning. The underlying migration
+checks performed when logging into R14.0.0 for the first time should find all of these differences, but fixing
+those that are missed is straightforward. All that is needed is knowing the new name of the command or
+application. For example, changing kdesu to tdesu, although that specific change is covered by the
+scripts.</para>
+
+<para>The Trinity launcher menu, tdemenu (nee kmenu), has been reorganized to reduce clutter. In addition to
+built-in XDG changes in *.desktop files, There are two methods available to manage KDE4 apps in the Trinity
+menu. One method includes a build-time configuration option in tdelibs, WITH_KDE4_MENU_SUFFIX, that adds a
+"[KDE4]" tag to KDE4 menu items. This tag helps identify apps of the same name. The default is OFF and requires
+a package rebuild to change. A second method includes a global menu replacement, tde-applications.menu-no-kde
+that explicitly excludes KDE4 apps from the menu. Using that special menu requires administrative privileges to
+update.</para>
