Release notes for 1.14.2

This is a new patch release containing bug fixes, along with some internal restructuring. Notably:

• using the cwd option of run now works when switching to a path on another drive while executing commands locally on Windows
• cloning a git repository into an existing empty directory via checkout now works the same as with the git binary

In preparation to the imminent release of perl-5.38.0, the test suite now also passes on perl-5.37.9 and later.

Please see the CPAN release page for the full changelog.

Many thanks to all contributors who made this release possible.
