Arnie, I tried out 3.4 on my system running MariaDB 10.3.32 (like mysql 5.5.5) on php 7.4.3, Apache 2.4.41, Ubuntu 20.04, in Firefox. Mostly 3.4 worked fine, with no install or login problem. Because 3.31 already was working here with MariaDB, this doesn't confirm whether the login issues discussed in that other thread were fixed for MySQL 8 or not. I want to test with mysql 8, but ran into difficulty switching back-- maybe tomorrow.
I noticed that info about 3.31 was removed from about.php and about_3_30_beta.txt. I thought I should mention it.
Here are some issues I noticed trying to exercise the software, in case there's anything you want to look at. Any of this could be just on my system. If you have a bug/ticket system I'd be happy to enter there insteadl.

3. Links menu button has no effect
4. Setup Tool Responder Types. Choosing icon on 2nd line shows color change of the icon on first line. First and third Icon choosing is ok.
5. Add Facility. Type and Status popups are empty. (by comparison, 3.3 had "example" values.) After creating values in config, worked fine.
6. Add Facility: "Handle" does not have an asterisk but is required according to warning dialog.
7. The map on Add Facility page can't be zoomed in past continent scale (yeah, I can't zoom closer than seeing the whole US). The plus button in the map shows gray/disabled unless I zoom out further (hemisphere scale more or less). Lat/Lng fields seem to be locked from entry. For comparison, map zoom is ok on New Call page,
I hope that's useful feedback.
Thanks for the update!
