+<title>Useful notes on upgrading</title>
+<para>When upgrading from previous releases you may run into some of
+the following use cases. Follow the recommended instructions to minimize
+potential problems.</para>
+
+<sect3 id="release-notes-r14.0.8-hints-dbus">
+<title>Removed dbus policy at_console</title>
+<para>A newer version of SystemD has removed the dbus policy at_console.
+Because the TDE does not yet contain a policykit agent (this will be addressed
+in R14.1.0), a plugdev group policy has been added in the default TDE Hardware
+Control daemon dbus configuration. This group should be available on most
+systems. To enable communication with the TDE Hardware Control daemon, add
+users to the plugdev group.</para>
+<para>Note: If a policykit is installed but a policykit agent is not
+available, it does not work well. In this case, it is advisable to
+uninstall policykit to allow the use of dbus rules.</para>
+</sect3>
+
+<sect3 id="release-notes-r14.0.8-hints-r14-xdg-tests">
+<title>Test failures in r14-xdg-update</title>
+<para>If you experience test failures at login time during the execution of
+the r14-xdg-update script, please try logging out and logging in again. Most
+failures will be automatically fixed. In case of persistent failures that
+don't get automatically recovered, please contact the TDE team on their
+official channels (mailing lists or IRC).</para>
+<para>For example you may experience TEST9 failures if you had previously
+edited your TDE menu and there are references to both 'kde-*' and 'tde-*'
+files for the same application. This will require manual editing to
+determine what is the correct way to fix the problem.</para>

+<sect2 id="release-notes-r14.0.8-freebsd">
+<title>FreeBSD Support</title>
+<para>TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD, although still partial
+given some of the new issues that have arisen with the latest versions
+of FreeBSD. The TDE team will try their best to improve support for
+FreeBSD but progress will probably be slow. Additional developers or
+contributors willing to help porting the remaining features and
+applications are always welcome.</para>
