I will keep emailing out this link along with status changes.

ns-3.4-RC1 is planned for Thursday, March 19.  It will be feature
complete and will have no known "broken behavior" bugs.  We are on
course to making the release schedule.

Bug 424 is awaiting some minimal feedback (introduces a new API).  426
and 427 will be closed out tomorrow.  Bug 505 status is unknown;
Mathieu, please update the tracker at your convenience.

Progress / Closed Bugs:
=======================
Since yesterday, bugs regarding tracing consistency (443) and the wifi
SupportsSendFrom issue (510) have been closed; one bug regarding
documentation (504) has been bumped down in priority; one bug
regarding tracing (505) is no longer blocked on bug 443; and three TCP
issues regarding when to set the ACK flag have had their patches
pushed (198, 425, 499);

New Bugs:
=========

None.

Next Steps:
===========

The first release candidate will be posted on Thursday, March 19.  A
full schedule of upcoming milestones can be found here:
http://www.nsnam.org/wiki/index.php/Ns-3.4#The_ns-3.4_Release_Schedule

The final four blockers need to get fixed before this time.  There is
also some documentation work / cleanup to be done before the actual
release day, but this is what the code freeze period is for.  I
suspect we will have to do a careful update of CHANGES.html, and make
sure the tutorial, doxygen, etc. aren't stale before April 1st.  I'll
propose how to move forward on this during the code freeze.
