 Hello!
 
-I'm pleased to announce version 3.3.4a4, an alpha release
-of release 3.3.4 of branch 3.3 of CheetahTemplate3.
+I'm pleased to announce version 3.4.0b1, the first beta
+of release 3.4.0 of branch 3.4 of CheetahTemplate3.
 
 
 What's new in CheetahTemplate3
 ==============================
 
-The contributors for this release are ...
+Bug fixes:
+
+  - Fixed ``ImportHooks``: it must raise ``ModuleNotFoundError``
+    instead of ``ImportError``.
+
+  - Fixed absolute import in ``ImportHooks`` under Python 3.
+
+  - Fixed ``Template.webInput``: Use ``urllib.parse.parse_qs``
+    instead of ``cgi.FieldStorage``; Python 3.13 dropped ``cgi``.
+
+  - Fixed ``_namemapper.c``: Silent an inadvertent ``TypeError`` exception
+    in ``PyMapping_HasKeyString`` under Python 3.13+
+    caused by ``_namemapper`` looking up a key in a non-dictionary.
+
+  - Fixed ``_namemapper.c``: Silence ``IndexError`` when testing
+    ``name[attr]``. Some objects like ``re.MatchObject`` implement both
+    attribute access and index access. This confuses ``NameMapper`` because
+    it expects ``name[attr]`` to raise ``TypeError`` for objects that don't
+    implement mapping protocol.
+
+  - Fixed mapping test in ``NameMapper.py``:
+    Python 3.13 brough a new mapping type ``FrameLocalsProxy``.
+
+  - Fixed another ``RecursionError`` in ``ImportHooks`` under PyPy3.
+
+Tests:
+
+  - tox: Run tests under Python 3.13.
+
+CI:
+
+  - CI(GHActions): Switch to ``setup-miniconda``.
+
+  - CI(GHActions): Run tests under Python 3.13.
