+Koha 3.14.0 is a major release, that comes with many new features.
+Among the major chances is the introduction of a new default public catalog
+theme called "Bootstrap". The Bootstrap theme offers a responsive
+design for the public catalog, supporting both desktop browsers and mobile
+devices. New installations of Koha 3.14.0 will use the Bootstrap theme
+by default.
-It includes 13 features, 161 enhancements and 456 bugfixes.
+The 'prog' and 'CCSR' public catalog themes are deprecated as of the release

+slated to be completely removed in the second major release of Koha after
+3.14.0, i.e., in the release currently contemplated for November 2014.
