Here is a summary of the new functionality

• Full Google Reader synchronization

• GeoRSS support (rendering maps with OpenStreetMap)
• New search engines you can subscribe to: Twitter, Identi.ca

If you are interested in one of the above features or have problems in stability or performance of 1.4 please upgrade to this new release! If you have problems with the new release please use the IRC channel, the mailing list or the SF tracker for support requests! Everyone who posts complaints here in the comments gets -5 points (on a random account of some type of anything...).

And finally do not forget to write a bit of occasional positive feedback on the features you like most. It's hard to tell which features or users like the most to avoid accidentily dropping them.
