+# Release 0.14 (2010-02-04)
+
+This release has the following improvements:
+
+ - The garbage collector now starts deleting garbage much faster than
+ before. It no longer determines liveness of all paths in the store,
+ but does so on demand.
+
+ - Added a new operation, `nix-store --query
+ --roots`, that shows the garbage collector roots that directly or
+ indirectly point to the given store paths.
+
+ - Removed support for converting Berkeley DB-based Nix databases to
+ the new schema.
+
+ - Removed the `--use-atime` and `--max-atime` garbage collector
+ options. They were not very useful in practice.
+
+ - On Windows, Nix now requires Cygwin 1.7.x.
+
+ - A few bug fixes.
