Release notes
Betas are good testing targets for developers and site builders who are comfortable reporting (and where possible, fixing) their own bugs, and who are prepared to rebuild their test sites from scratch when necessary. Beta releases are not recommended for non-technical users, nor for production websites, and could have public security vulnerabilities. More information on beta releases.
This is a minor update from beta 13 which fixes a regression in page cache invalidation, see #2527126: Only send X-Drupal-Cache-Tags and -Contexts headers when developer explicitly enables them.
hook_update_N() is now required for all core schema changes. This means it may be possible to update development sites between beta releases starting with beta12. This has not been tested on real sites so in either case ensure you take a database backup and carefully review your site for regressions when updating.
Note that there are still critical bugs with the database update system itself, which may prevent some contributed or custom modules from providing their own upgrade paths.

All core patches should continue providing hook_update_N()
from this point on where necessary.
