Take advantage of this evaluation period to take a closer look at the new SVG import, the improved ODF 1.2 support and other enhancements (http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Feature_Freeze_Testing_3.4) and help to find open issues. These are the preferred ways to provide feedback: * send a mail to the dev&lt; at &gt;qa.openoffice.org with the subject line starting with *Beta 3.4* * submit an issue in BugZilla http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/pre_submission.html.
