This is an outline for the 1.14 Press Release-type announcement page
Add items you worked on or you know someone else worked on throughout 1.13.x. We don't want prose, we just want to enumerate items we'll talk about in the real release announcement. Someone else (or a plurality of someone elses) will magically turn your bullet points into marketing speech-style text for the announcement so you don't need to worry about doing that yourself.
For each section, try to list items in descending order of importance. The announcement team might not follow the order of the outline but it'd greatly help us to have a rough idea of how visible each item should be.
Tag platform specific features like this: "(Windows only) New user files location".
