Given the number of problems that we have found and fixed since R3.14.7 
(the Known Problems page doesn't have patches for all of these) we ought 
to release a 3.14.8 soon, but the core developers have been busy working 
on requirements and design for V4.  We are holding a developers meeting 
at APS next week, after which we should all run our regression tests and 
come out with a new release - I would think by September we should be 
able to make that happen, although I can't promise that for sure.

In the meantime you can try using the latest CVS snapshot off the R3.14 
branch - it isn't guaranteed to work, but I'm not aware of any major 
work being done on it recently so it should be worth trying.
