We'd be interested in feedback. A lot of the work for the 3.4 - 3.8 is already been done in the 4.x branch and needs to be moved into the 3.x branch. Some of the 3.4 work needed to be done anyway and is already in the trunk.
The roadmap can be found here: http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=28574039

Thanks to Marvin Addison and the Unicon Cooperative Support program for their assistance in getting this release candidate out. We're hoping to have the final version out by the conference, so if you can test, please do so!
Note that with the library changes, if you've heavily customized your Spring configuration files OR your Spring Web Flow, I would recommend reviewing them. I can guarantee your Web Flow 1 flow will fail.
