No it is not 3.4 is not out for long time, only Stage 1 is going to be
done
in July which means no more radical changes go into gcc 3.4.
Did you read <http://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html>?
From that page:
Stage 1
During this period, changes of any nature may be made to the compiler.
In particular, major changes may be merged from branches.
Stage 2
During this period, major changes may not be merged from branches.
However, other smaller improvements may be made. For example, support
for a new language construct might be added in a front-end, or support
for a new variant of an existing microprocessor might be added to a
back-end.
Stage 3
During this period, the only (non-documentation) changes that may be
made are changes that fix bugs. New functionality may not be
introduced during this period.
