[pypy-dev] PyPy7.3.4rc2 tarballs are available

[Matti Picus]

The second release candidate for PyPy7.3.4 is up at
https://downloads.python.org/pypy/.

People using cibuildwheel or github actions to test PyPy should be able to use this in their test runs once the https://downloads.python.org/pypy/versions.json file updates (it may take a few hours to percolate out)


The sha256 checksums can be found in the PR to the pypy.org web site at

The draft release note is up at


https://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/release-v7.3.4.html


Highltights:
- we now have a win64 build (and are dropping the win32 one)
- there are a number of JIT performance enhancements
- overall better compatibility with CPython.
- ARM64 for linux is now built on top of debian9 (manylinux2014) and uses "portable" packaging

Please try it out and report issues on IRC or on the issue tracker. Comments to improve the release note are welcome too.
