+# v0.14.0 (2020-02-23)
+
+`v0.14.0` is a major feature release, with 3 highlighted features:
+
+1. **Distributed builds.** Multiple Spack instances will now coordinate
+   properly with each other through locks. This works on a single node
+   (where you've called `spack` several times) or across multiple nodes
+   with a shared filesystem. For example, with SLURM, you could build
+   `trilinos` and its dependencies on 2 24-core nodes, with 3 Spack
+   instances per node and 8 build jobs per instance, with `srun -N 2 -n 6
+   spack install -j 8 trilinos`. This requires a filesystem with locking
+   enabled, but not MPI or any other library for parallelism.
+
+2.  **Build pipelines.** You can also build in parallel through Gitlab
+   CI. Simply create a Spack environment and push it to Gitlab to build
+   on Gitlab runners. Pipeline support is now integreated into a single
+   `spack ci` command, so setting it up is easier than ever.  See the
+   [Pipelines section](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/v0.14.0/pipelines.html)
+   in the docs.
+
+3. **Container builds.** The new `spack containerize` command allows you
+   to create a Docker or Singularity recipe from any Spack environment.
+   There are options to customize the build if you need them. See the
+   [Container Images section](https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/containers.html)
+   in the docs.
+
+In addition, there are several other new commands, many bugfixes and
+improvements, and `spack load` no longer requires modules, so you can use
+it the same way on your laptop or on your supercomputer.
+
+Spack grew by over 300 packages since our last release in November 2019,
+and the project grew to over 500 contributors.  Thanks to all of you for
+making yet another great release possible. Detailed notes below.
+
