Dearest most-enduring SDR community to ever roam the galaxy, the legacy 3.7 release series sees a bug fix release. We had to bump the maint version from 13 to 14, because we fundamentally changed the (pseudo) random number generation – which has the effect that pre-3.7.14.0 flowgraphs use different random scramblers and pilots, amongst other things.
