If Christian or another of our website gurus could help out and suggest 
a way of doing this. It would be really neat if the 3.4 final download 
and the 3.4 features page appeared on the site on the same day and same 
time.

If you are waiting for the webpage I could give you the nod as soon as I 
finish with any other updates.

Hmmm, this is something different from the confcall where I got the 
impression that we wanted to toggle back and forth from on page to the 
other. But sure, if this is what we would like to do. I think we would 
need our website gurus to help out with this as well. It would mean 
unpublishable the "New Features and Fixes" and linking to this page from 
the newly minted 3.4 page.

I'll do this. No problem.

Thanks for checking out the page and the words of encouragement.
