SourceForge done, but I'm not sure how to change "the latest".

Forwarding to Infra.
Remember that the go ahead also needs to be sent to the Infra mailing list. :-)

Hi all,
Well, it's been an exciting ride, and we're nearly at the end of it.
Can you imagine when we first started development of 2014.0? We had
just come off the success of 2013.0 and were going to see if we could
pull it off again.
I think we have, and I hope you agree. 2014.0 is a beautiful job - one
that is well done. I see it as an accomplishment, and I hope you guys
do too.
I'd like to give a huge thanks to Tomasz Gajc, who was the project
manager for this release cycle; Bernhard Rosenkränzer, who was the
release manager; Kate Lebedeff for the release announcements; and all
others who helped this release cycle, including the Artwork Team, the
rest of the Cooker Team, Workshop, and Infra Team.
As for QA? I think the MVP for QA has to be Colin. He's managed to
keep Cooker on their toes with major issues, and has also managed to
keep the cycle going where the rest of us could not due to work. MVP
definitely goes to him.
I'd also like to give special mention to those who worked on
omv-welcome - it is a fantastic piece of software and will definitely
help get users antiquated with OpenMandriva Lx.
A slight criticism, however: if you want to meet release dates more
sufficiently next time, give QA a bigger time to evaluate and see
blockers/major bugs - 2 days testing is a minimum, and has always
been; so if you give us the first ISO a week before the date, you
could probably respin without delaying the release another week if we
find bugs.
Also another slight criticism: I nearly panicked trying to test the
x86_64 ISO respin because urpmi stopped working. Turns out the
mirror.cache returned no mirrors, and it was still valid for a long
time. I had to invalidate the cache by rm
/var/cache/urpmi/mirrors.cache. PLEASE do this on ISO builds, or users
will be wondering why urpmi doesn't work and says that no mirrors
could be found from $MIRRORLIST.

Well, I think that's all I have to say. Maybe I'll remember something
later, but I think that's all I have to say for now.
2014.0 has QA's unanimous blessing. Go forth and release!
On behalf of the QA Team:
Robert Xu
