+# MicroCloud 2.1.4 release notes
+
+This is an {ref}`LTS release <ref-releases-microcloud-lts>` and contains bugfixes, package updates and new features.
+It's the fifth release of the 2 LTS track.
+
+(ref-release-notes-2.1.4-highlights)=
+## Highlights
+
+This section highlights new and improved features in this release.
+
+### New home for docs
+
+The integrated doc set was moved to [canonical.com/microcloud/docs](https://canonical.com/microcloud/docs/).
+It is now located alongside MicroCloud's [product page](https://canonical.com/microcloud).
+
+The changes were split across several PRs, see:
+
+* https://github.com/canonical/microcloud/pull/1466
+* https://github.com/canonical/microcloud/pull/1397
+* https://github.com/canonical/microcloud/pull/1460
+
+### Decommissioning guide
+
+Adds a MicroCloud decommissioning guide, adapted from the [LXD decommissioning guide](https://github.com/canonical/lxd/issues/18507).
+It's reorganized around decommissioning a full cluster, favors `microcloud` commands over `lxc` and adds MicroCloud-specific details such as MicroCeph logging,
+OSD removal, Ceph monmap cleanup, and snap removal covering MicroCloud, LXD, MicroCeph and MicroOVN.
+
+See https://github.com/canonical/microcloud/pull/1450.
+
+### Improved resource naming in Terraform demo
+
+Avoid hardcoding of variable names for the network bridge and support custom VM numbering with a matching enumeration for disk names.
+
+See https://github.com/canonical/microcloud/pull/1428.
+
+### Dynamic OVN northbound DB addresses
+
+LXD [added support](https://github.com/canonical/lxd/pull/17874) to read the OVN northbound DB addresses directly from the `ovn.env`
+file which is kept up to date by the MicroOVN snap.
+This allows MicroCloud to omit setting the `network.ovn.northbound_connection` configuration option in LXD.
+LXD can now react immediately on address changes made in MicroOVN.
+
+Previously, MicroCloud only updated the `network.ovn.northbound_connection` configuration option during cluster initialization and
+when adding additional members.
+
+See https://github.com/canonical/microcloud/pull/1505.
+
+### Preseed filter examples
+
+When deploying MicroCloud clusters using preseed, optional storage filters can be provided to find specific disks to be used
+for local and remote (Ceph) storage.
+The respective how-to guides were extended to show practical usage examples.
+
+See https://github.com/canonical/microcloud/pull/1501.
+
+(ref-release-notes-2.1.4-bugfixes)=
+## Bug fixes
+
+The following bug fixes are included in this release.
+
+### Hide the `--state-dir` flag from CLI
+
+This flag is used to select the actual state directory of the MicroCloud snap.
+The snap's command wrapper already takes care of setting this to the correct state directory.
+A user never needs to set this flag manually.
+
+See https://github.com/canonical/microcloud/pull/1503.
+
+### Drop disk existence check during preseed
+
+In preseed mode, all of the disks selected for remote storage were checked for existence on the initiator.
+This does not work for disks which were selected on cluster members other than the initiator.
+
+Wrong disk selections (without using filters) will cause the deployment to error out anyway.
+
+See https://github.com/canonical/microcloud/pull/1496.
+
+## Upgrading to the new version
+
+If you are already using MicroCloud 2 LTS, refer to the {ref}`howto-update` guide for information on how to retrieve and use the latest release within the same major version.
+If you are on an older major version, refer to the {ref}`howto-upgrade` guide.
