We may also have other releases to do along with these, but we'll know as we get closer to the actual release date.

Comment 1

We have at least one security bug ready for checkin, bug 600464.

Due to security bugs, we have to release 3.4.9 and 3.2.9 too.

Here are all the website updates for the release (except the real Security Advisory, which will go in later, and the relnotes for 3.2.9 and 3.4.9, which will also go in later).

This is fine, but don't forget to update the Changelog page:

The last three lines still mention old releases.

If you mention Twitter, then you should also mention planet.bugzilla.org. There is no reason to mention only one of the two (especially because not all developers, such as myself, use Twitter).

Thanks for the review. I fixed the version numbers. I didn't add a link to Planet Bugzilla, because The Bugzilla Update and the Bugzilla Twitter account are the two primary official channels of broad communication, and actually, if you want to write in them, you can. I've already tweeted links to some of your blogs, and you can have access to the Bugzilla Update as an author as well, if you think that would be a good thing to have.

Thanks!

LpSolit has checked in all the security bugs. I've bumped the version numbers and tagged everything in bzr.
