Hmm, there are five occurences of 3.4[.0] in the document:

1+2) I think it makes sense to change the section heading (and the
     corresponding entry in the table of contents to "Bugs fixed in the
     upcoming 3.4 series"

3-5) I think the other three occurences really mark a specific release,
     so that I'd rather write 3.4.0 in these cases:

     "<p>The following bugs are present up to (and including) GCC 3.3.x.
     They have been fixed in 3.4.0.</p>"

     "<p>Two milestones in standard conformance are GCC 3.0 (including a major
     overhaul of the standard library) and the upcoming 3.4.0 version (with
     its new C++ parser).</p>"
     (Note that we explicitly say "milestone".)

     "<h4><a name="new34">New in GCC 3.4.0</a></h4>"
     (Note that we also have "New in GCC 3.0")

Btw, the wording has to be changed for the 3.4.0 release anyway, so we can
still make minor adjustments then.

Committed.
