Yes, poppler 0.18 will be supported for evince 3.4. We are indeed
working on poppler 0.20, it will be mainly the merge of the xpdf 3.03
changes, see the xpdf303merge branch:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/log/?h=xpdf303merge

I don't think we will finish the merge in time for 3.4, so poppler
0.18 will be the version required by evince 3.4.
