Hi Anita,

You are very right, and please do not take my earlier email as
criticizing, I think we do a pretty good job, and the ideal is to do a
BigBang, but we are just too distributed/depending on volunteers etc.

I just added a preliminary visual changelog page for 3.4 (with a note
that projecta is still in flux) and will rebuild asap.

And (others) please do not put pressure on packagers do work (for free)
faster just because we (or the general user) wants a more spectacular
release event :-)

Regards,

Richard
