-<title>Summary</title>
-
-<para>This  document contains important information for users, developers, and  packagers. This document is
-intended for people who are migrating from previous versions of Trinity. If you are a using Trinity for the
-first time, then you can ignore the contents of this document.</para>
-
-<para>The Trinity Desktop is a full software desktop environment designed for Unix-like operating systems,
-intended  for computer users preferring a traditional desktop model focusing primarily on retaining the overall
-KDE 3.5 user experience and efficiency. Trinity is free/libre software.</para>
-
-<para>First, thank you to the many people who contributed to all of these improvements. Many people played a
-role, including bug fixing, enhancements, testing, etc.</para>
-
-<para>Many changes were made to Trinity after the release of 3.5.13.</para>
-
-<para>An obvious change is the version scheme. Trinity evolved from the last KDE 3.5 release, 3.5.10. Subsequent
-Trinity releases followed that numbering scheme. Release R14.0.0 marks a turning point in Trinity history
-because a great deal of the code infrastructure was changed. While those changes do not effect the usability or
-look-and-feel of the desktop that users enjoy, Trinity developers believe a change in the version scheme
-distinguishes when those changes occurred. An original project goal by users was to retain the flavor of the
-original KDE 3.5 desktop. That goal remains intact. To reflect that original goal, the last number in the
-original version scheme is retained in the new version scheme but is now the primary version number. While the
-infrastructure has changed, the desktop itself remains the same as the original KDE 3.5. This new version scheme
-indicates a modest divergence from the original KDE 3.5 series and that Trinity is now its own desktop
-environment. The new version scheme reminds users that Trinity retains the original KDE 3.5 design, but is
-moving forward as a separate desktop project.</para>
-
-<para>Notable changes include renaming and rebranding efforts to avoid conflicts with KDE4. Both Trinity and
-KDE4 have roots in KDE3. These changes focus on promoting a peaceful coexistence between the two desktop
-environments when both are installed concurrently on the same system as well as avoid possible trademark
-issues.</para>

-<title>Usability Changes</title>
-
-<para>Because of the wide-scale renaming efforts, existing KDE3 and 3.5.13.x user profile directories will not
-function properly under R14.0.0. Don't worry.</para>
-
-<para>When logging into Trinity R14.0.0, the starttde script (nee startkde), performs profile checks to ensure
-settings and configurations are migrated correctly. These checks include preserving the original KDE3/3.5.13.x
-profile directory as-is while using those files as the basis to create the new R14.0.0 profile named
-$HOME/.trinity.</para>
-
-<para>The underlying migration checking has been tested, but because of the renaming and rebranding efforts,
-upstream packagers should test support scripts for problems and anomalies.</para>
-
-<para>There is another special script to help update profile directories. That script is
-/opt/trinity/bin/migratekde3. This script is intended for people using versions of Trinity prior to 3.5.13.
-Before starting R14.0.0 the first time, use this script to update any KDE3 profile directory. The definition of
-a KDE3 profile directory includes Trinity 3.5.11 and 3.5.12. The script will look for profile directory names
-of ~/.kde3, ~/.kdemod3, and ~/.kde. Because the latter directory name is also used in KDE4, several tests are
-performed to ensure the directory is a KDE3 profile and not KDE4.</para>
-
-<para>The renaming might cause certain shortcuts and menu links to stop functioning. The underlying migration
-checks performed when logging into R14.0.0 for the first time should find all of these differences, but fixing
-those that are missed is straightforward. All that is needed is knowing the new name of the command or
-application. For example, changing kdesu to tdesu, although that specific change is covered by the
-scripts.</para>
-
-<para>The Trinity launcher menu, tdemenu (nee kmenu), has been reorganized to reduce clutter. In addition to
-built-in XDG changes in *.desktop files, There are two methods available to manage KDE4 apps in the Trinity
-menu. One method includes a build-time configuration option in tdelibs, WITH_KDE4_MENU_SUFFIX, that adds a
-"[KDE4]" tag to KDE4 menu items. This tag helps identify apps of the same name. The default is OFF and requires
-a package rebuild to change. A second method includes a global menu replacement, tde-applications.menu-no-kde
-that explicitly excludes KDE4 apps from the menu. Using that special menu requires administrative privileges to
-update.</para>
-
-<para>Because of a common heritage shared with KDE, Trinity still shares many app and library names with KDE.
-Therefore to avoid conflicts, the normal practice is to install Trinity to /opt/trinity. Because of this
-atypical installation location, on many systems non-Trinity desktops and window managers initially will not
-find any Trinity apps. For systems using /etc/profile.d, ensure the packager includes appropriate scripts to
-populate all necessary environment variables. For other systems, at least the XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and XDG_DATA_DIRS
-environment variables must be modified to recognize the /opt/trinity directory. Typical modifications look like
-this:</para>
