Code Review

This pull request, generated by a bot, prepares for the 1.4.0 release by updating the version in release-please/manifest.json and generating a new changelog entry. While the version bump is correct, the CHANGELOG.md file has a significant issue: the new section for version 1.4.0 incorrectly includes numerous changes from previous releases, leading to a bloated and confusing changelog. My review includes a comment on this issue, suggesting a review of the release-please configuration to fix the changelog generation process.
