While waiting for the interim VMs to be built for 3.4, I thought I would suggest one more small addition to the 3.4 Welcome window.
(btw, are there any remaining issues with the content of the 3.4 VMs?)
Anyway, it seems like the Welcome window really ought to mention the minnow swiki somewhere specifically as a resource. So something like this could be tacked on near the end. (maybe before The Squeak License section)

The RiscOS vm package is already available at http://sumeru.stanford.edu/tim/pooters/SqFiles/release/sq34-VM.zip and could be grabbed for the uiuc ftp site anytime.

Sounds good to me - it seems to load ok in Scamper although the antialiasing on the logo bitmap seems awful on my Acorn.

The only remaining issue for me is Croquet compatibility. Given that the BitBlt and Float changes were additions (and hence unused by the 3.4 image) pulling the changes into 3.4 would seem to me to present zero risk while avoiding a certain amount of organisational hassle. (I'm adding an entirely separate section to my downloads page just for a Croquet compatible VM, identical in all respects to the 3.4 VM except that it has these necessary additions.)
Other than that I don't think there are any more issues for me.
I've put 3.4-gamma1 tarballs (source, plus binaries for GNU/Linux-i386 and Darwin-PPC [X11 only]) and a RPM (i386 binary) on my release page.
Barring any serious problem reports in the next few days I will retire 3.2 from active service, promote 3.4-gamma1 to a 3.4-1 stable release and then build the remaining tarballs, RPMs and .debs. Until that time I would be grateful for any and all feedback on 3.4gamma1.

I'll check it out and see if I can't figure out what broke with the new KDE (Kmail, etc.) clipboard.
