As usual, this release contains all the bug fixes of the latest version 4.13 plus various bug fixes and improvements related to Twig. There is also a new handy command debug:contao-twig which shows the hierarchy of Twig templates and can help you to understand their relation. So for those who already work extensively with Twig, an update is highly recommended.
