<title>Useful notes on upgrading</title>
<para>When upgrading from previous releases you may run into some of
the following use cases. Follow the recommended instructions to minimize
potential problems.</para>
<sect3 id="release-notes-r14.0.9-hints-pulseaudio">
<title>PulseAudio support workarounds</title>
<para>Initial support for PulseAudio is planned for the R14.1.0 release.</para>
<para>For the time being you can try one of the following workarounds in case you have troubles with PA
(especially muting/unmuting).
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>You can mute/unmute from the KMix slider LED, this should work fine with PA.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You can open KMix mixer window -> Settings -> Configure global shortcuts and remap the "toggle mute"
keyboard shortcut to some other key combination. Do not use "XF86AudioMute" key, since this is normally
used by KMilo and therefore may not work.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You can create a script that calls "dcop kmix Mixer-1 toggleMasterMute", this will mute/unmute the PA
master channel. You can add an input action tied to a keyboard shortcut to call this easy.</para>

<sect3 id="release-notes-r14.0.9-hints-knotes-global-shortcuts">
<title>Change in KNotes global shortcuts</title>
<para>KNotes had four global keyboard shortcuts that were bounded to Alt + Shift + C/N/S/H. These shortcuts were
overlapping with other key combinations used in some common programs, for example Midnight Commander.</para>
<para>In R14.0.9 those KNotes global keyboard shortcuts have been left unassigned by default. If you wish to
keep using the previous setup, you need to right click on KNotes system tray icon, select "Configure shortcuts"
and then assign the following key combinations.

<title>Restriction of supported distros/architectures</title>
<para>Starting from this TDE release, apt sources for i386 architecture are no longer provided for Ubuntu 20.04 onwards.</para>
<para>If you have a multi-arch system that includes i386 as well, you need to either remove i386 from the list of known architectures or
remove that architecture from your apt sources.</para>
<para>For example, if you have both i386 and amd64, you need to add [arch=amd64] in your apt sources.list file to make sure i386 is not used.</para>
