Welcome to the seventeenth issue of Tor Weekly News in 2014, the weekly
newsletter that covers what is happening in the XXX Tor community.
+
+Tor 0.2.5.4-alpha is released
+-----------------------------
+
+The latest incarnation of the current development branch of Tor,
+dubbed 0.2.5.4-alpha, has been released on April 26th [XXX]. The release
+mainly brings security and performance improvements for clients
+and relays.
+
+As a preventive measure (as there's no evidence that the keys
+have been compromised), authority signing keys that were used
+while susceptible to the OpenSSL “heartbleed” bug are now blacklisted.
+
+Other improvements include fixing two expensive functions on busy relays,
+better TLS ciphersuite preference lists, support for run-time
+hardening on compilers that support AddressSanitizer [XXX], and more work on
+the Linux sandbox code. There are also several usability fixes for
+clients (especially clients that use bridges), two new TransPort
+protocols supported (one on OpenBSD, one on FreeBSD), and various
+other bugfixes.
+
+As Nick Mathewson wrote: “This release marks end-of-life for Tor 0.2.2.x;
+those Tor versions have accumulated many known flaws”.
+
+Source code is available at the usual location [XXX] and binary
+packages have already started to be updated.
