The biggest thing we need for the 3.4rc1 release is Release Notes. This actually wasn't too hard for 3.2 (the Template Toolkit stuff makes it much easier), and I don't expect it to be impossibly hard for 3.4 either, particularly since 3.4 is such a smaller release than 3.2.

Hey manu, I know you mentioned that you wanted to work on relnotes. Are you working on these, or are you just working on the other smaller releases (which would be OK)? I just want to know, because we're just about ready to release 3.4rc1 and I'm going to do these release notes if you haven't started on them yet.

Also, here and at several other places is "Bug" hardcoded, instead of $terms.Bug.

I didn't check all features one by one. I trust you listed them correctly. Everything looks good.
+<p>Users can now select what time zone they are in and Bugzilla will + adjust displayed times to be correct for their time zone. However, + time zones the user inputs are unfortunately still in times the user inputs +<p>Here's an example: Let's say that we create a field called "Colors", + and we make the Product field "control the values" for Colors. Then we + add Blue, Red, Black, and Yellow as legal values for the "Colors" field. + Now we can say that "Blue" and "Red" only appear as valid choices in + Product A, "Yellow" only appears in Product B, but "Black" <em>always</em> + appears.</p> Maybe this paragraph can be dropped, or replaced by "see the docs for details"?
(In reply to comment #7) > >+<h2><a name="v34_req">Minimum Requirements</a></h2> > > This makes the title to be seen as an anchor. You must move </a> before the > title. This is a broader general regression in 3.4 that we need to fix, not a problem with the release notes. (We need to add a CSS rule for a[name].) (In reply to comment #8) > Maybe this paragraph can be dropped, or replaced by "see the docs for details"? I don't think there are any docs. The problem is that the paragraph above is pretty much incomprehensible, even to me, and I wrote it. It's the nature of the logic of the thing, not the writing, I think.
