I just pushed out the 3.4 release.Nothing really exciting happened since -rc7, although the workaroundfor a linker bug on x86 is larger than I'd have liked at this stage,and sticks out like a sore thumb in the diffstat. That said, it's notlike even that patch was really all that scary.In fact, I think the 3.4 release cycle as a whole has been fairlycalm. Sure, I always wish for the -rc's to calm down more quickly thanthey ever seem to do, but I think on the whole we didn't have any bigdisruptive events, which is just how I like it. Let's hope the 3.5merge window is a calm one too.                       Linus
