[s3ql] [ANNOUNCE] S3QL 3.4.0 has been released

[Nikolaus Rath]

Dear all,

I am pleased to announce a new release of S3QL, version 3.4.0.

From the changelog:

2020-03-19, S3QL 3.4.0

* There have been significant changes in the internal implementation. Asynchronous I/O
is now used in favor of threads in many places, and libfuse 3.x is used instead of
libfuse 2.x.

* S3QL is now uses kernel-side writeback caching, which should significantly improve
write performance for small block sizes.

* The dependency on the llfuse Python module has been dropped. A dependency on the `trio
<https://github.com/python-trio/trio`_ and `pyfuse3
<https://github.com/libfuse/pyfuse3/>`_ modules has been added instead.

The following people have contributed code to this release:
