Announcing Vue 3.4

Hello, |LIST:NAME|! this issue #354 🫣

I don't have much to say on this issue, except that I spent last week working with a copywriter on refining the messaging of the Node.js Design Patterns website. It turns out we needed a massive rewrite.

I hope you'll enjoy this issue! Have a great one ❤️
