We should at least include all the existing bugfix releases, because there are 
some important ones. We don't need it to be called rc6, but 3.4.0 directly.

3.4.0c6 (unreleased)
--------------------

- Upgraded zope.publisher to 3.4.3.
- Upgraded zope.app.authentication to 3.4.2. Removed previous versions,
   as they are not compatible with zope.app.container >= 3.5.4
- Upgraded zope.app.container to 3.5.5
- Upgraded zope.testing 3.5.1 to 3.5.4.
- Upgraded zc.buildout 1.0.0 to 1.1.1.

What are we doing for the changelog of zope.release? Should we finally merge 
KGS-HISTORY.txt into CHANGES.txt or leave both files as is ?
