I think we've made good progress on the list of issues for 0.14 ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Hive+0.14+release+status)
It seems we're getting close. There are currently five issues on the list, but they all have patches associated and will hopefully go in soon. I would really like to roll a release candidate on Friday - if you have an issue on that list, please try to resolve by then. If you have spare cycles reviewing them, please go ahead. Thanks, Gunther.
