The draft release page at  <http://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads/cldr-34>http://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads/cldr-3 <http://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads/cldr-34>4 lists the major features, and has pointers to the newest data and charts. It will be fleshed out over the coming weeks with more details, migration issues, known problems, and so on. Particularly useful for review are:
> 
> Delta Charts <http://unicode.org/cldr/charts/34/delta/index.html> - the data that changed during the release
> By-Type Charts <http://unicode.org/cldr/charts/34/by_type/index.html> - a side-by-side comparison of data from different locales
> Annotation Charts <http://unicode.org/cldr/charts/34/annotations/index.html> - new emoji names and keywords
> Please report any problems that you find using a CLDR ticket <http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/newticket>. We'd also appreciate it if programmatic users of CLDR data download the xml files and do a trial integration to see if any problems arise.
