Roan, thanks for these great summaries.

In related news, it seems many (most? all?) LiquidThreads pages on mediawiki.org have been converted to Flow.

The highlights of what's new in wmf14 are:
  • The template used to create mentions when using VE in Flow ({{ping}} on most wikis) is changing, so we can get rid of the colon at the end. The default name for the new template is {{FlowMention}}, but this name can be translated on TranslateWiki. We will create a standard version of this template on all wikis where it doesn't exist yet.
I tried this on beta labs, it's very cool.

Perhaps Template:FlowMention should be mentioned on Extension:Flow [1]. It is automatically created when you run maintenance/update.php (slick!), but automatic template creation is unexpected.

Where is the magic of typing @ and getting a VE user auto-complete mentioned?  Extension:Flow says
  $wgFlowHelpPage = //www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Flow
but that page doesn't exist. I know Flow is it's so easy no documentation is necessary, but how would people know to type it?
