I am happy to announce the new version of GNU IceCat.

This version is based on Mozilla Firefox version 14.0.1.

GNU IceCat 14.0 is available for download here:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/14.0/icecat-14.0.tar.gz

[CHANGES]
* This release is a maintenance release: It fixes numerous
  bugs and security issues.

* Due to unreliable upstream support for custom app directories, the
  location of the profile directory now defaults to
  '~/.mozilla/icecat'.  If your version of IceCat is still using the
  '~/.gnuzilla' directory, you will want to run 'mv ~/.gnuzilla/icecat
  ~/.mozilla' to keep the same profile.

* Upstream makefiles have been updated for the package to be accepted
  on ftp.gnu.org (Makefile.in vulnerability CVE-2012-3386.)

Lists of new features for Firefox 14/14.0.1 also applying to IceCat
14.0 are available here:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/14.0/releasenotes/
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/14.0.1/releasenotes/

Please report any problem you may experience to the
bug-gnuzilla@gnu.org mailing list. Binaries for different systems will
be made available through the mailing list.

Thank you,

Loic Duros
Gnuzilla and IceCat maintainer
