L.S.

Here is the proposed release schedule for 0.14.0. Like for previous major
releases I've added 6 months to the previous release schedule (#7679), even
though 0.13.0 was moved forward a month compared to the original planning. This
means the planned release of 0.14.0 will be a month later compared to the
planned release date of 0.12.0 last year.

2017-01-02
-----------
- Open Transifex translations for 0.14
- Soft translation string freeze (no large or unnecessary string changes until release)
- Finalize and close translations for 0.12

2017-01-16
-----------
- Feature freeze (bug fixes only until release)
- Translation string freeze (no more source language changes until release)

2017-02-06
-----------
- Split off `0.14` branch from `master`
- Start RC cycle, tag and release `0.14.0rc1`
- Start merging for 0.15 on master branch

2017-03-01
-----------
- Release 0.14.0 final (aim)

The canonical URL for the 0.14 release schedule, in case there are updates, is:
