 Welcome to the twenty-first issue of Tor Weekly News, the weekly newsletter that
 covers what is happening in the XXX Tor community.
 
-New Release of XXX
-------------------
+Tor 0.2.4.18-rc is out
+----------------------
 
-XXX: cite specific release date, numbers, and developers responsible
+On Saturday, 16th of November Roger Dingledine released new version [XXX],
+in fact the fourth release candidate for the Tor 0.2.4.x series.
+As Roger puts it “It takes a variety of fixes from the 0.2.5.x branch 
+to improve stability, performance, and better handling of edge cases.”
 
-XXX: details about release
+According to Roger major feature of this release is:
 
- [XXX]
+- Re-enabling TLS 1.1 and 1.2 when built with OpenSSL 1.0.1e or later [XXX].
+
+Major bugfixes:
+
+- No longer stop reading or writing on cpuworker connections when our rate 
+  limiting buckets go empty. Now we should handle circuit handshake requests 
+  more promptly [XXX].
+- If we are unable to save a microdescriptor to the journal, do not drop 
+  it from memory and then reattempt downloading it [XXX].
+- Stop trying to bootstrap all our directory information from only our 
+  first guard [XXX].
+- The new channel code sometimes lost track of in-progress circuits,
+  causing long-running clients to stop building new circuits. The
+  fix is to always call circuit_n_chan_done(chan, 0) from channel_closed() [XXX].
+
+For minor features and bugfixes see full changelog [XXX] and please 
+be sure to upgrade [XXX].
