+Stem 1.2 brings interactive interaction with the Tor daemon
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+On June 1st, Damian Johnson announced [XXX] the release of
+Stem [XXX] 1.2. Stem is a Python library for interacting with
+the Tor daemon. It is now used by several applications [XXX]
+like the arm [XXX] status monitor or Philipp Winter's exit
+scanner [XXX].
+
+The new version brings an interactive control interpreter, “a new
+method for interacting with Tor's control interface that combines
+an interactive python interpreter with raw access similar to telnet”.
+This should happily save Tor hackers from manually poking the
+control port through telnet or having to create complete Stem scripts.
+
+For the complete list of changes, head over to the changelog [XXX].

+Tails moves to Wheezy
+---------------------
+
+The Tails live system [XXX] is a Debian derivative [XXX] aiming at
+preserving the privacy and anonymity of its users.
+
+The first Tails release were based on Debian Lenny [XXX] (2009-2012).
+Since version 0.7, Tails is based on Debian Squeeze [XXX] (2011-).
+Meanwhile, Debian has released a new stable version dubbed Wheezy [XXX].
+The upcoming Tails 1.1 will be the first based on the latter.
+
+The general set of feature should not change much from the previous
+Tails release. But almost every software component has been updated.
+On May 30th, the Tails team released a beta image [XXX]. Given the
+number of changes, testing is even more welcomed than usual.
+
+Testers can also exercice the new UEFI support which enables Tails to
+boot on recent hardware and Mac.
+
+Several issues [XXX] have already been identified with the current beta
+image. Be sure to have a look at the list before reporting [XXX].
+
+The details of the release schedule are still being discussed [XXX] at
+the time of writing, but Tails 1.1 is likely to be out by the end of
+July. Please help make it a great release!
