Can someone tell me what the difference is between 3.4M6a and 3.4M6? The
former came soon after I downloaded the latter and I cannot find a wiki
page, or any documentation as to why the second release was made.

Mark.

Milestone 6 was the cutoff for API changes. However there were a few
problems in the APIs in the M6 that needed to be addressed, so a few
projects got permission to make post-M6 changes to their API to make the
needed fixes. Hence M6a.

This is incorrect. The only change in M6a was that some plug-ins had
incorrect version numbers. This caused problems with projects in the
Ganymede release train, so a new build was created for releasing to
Ganymede M6. There were no code changes between M6 and M6a as far as I know.
