You're a day late and a dollar short. :)

A list is available in the release notes. To read the release 
notes, open the "Welcome to TDE" handbook and then select the "TDE 
Release Notes" link.

Or run the following:

khelpcenter help:/khelpcenter/releasenotes

For new R14 users, this document appears once and once only after 
starting Trinity the first time in R14. Likewise for git users.

Now the interesting twist: somehow kcmshell->tdecmshell slipped 
through the cracks and is not in the list. I'll push a patch to the 
docbook file. :)
