-Feature XXX
------------
+Tor 0.2.5.5-alpha is out
+------------------------
-Feature 1 with cited source [XXX]
+Tor 0.2.5.5-alpha was released [XXX], fixing “a wide variety of
+remaining issues in the Tor 0.2.5.x release series, including a couple
+of DoS issues, some performance regressions, a large number of bugs
+affecting the Linux seccomp2 sandbox code, and various other bugfixes”,
+in Nick Mathewson’s words. Among the major security improvements is an
+adjustment to the way Tor decides when to close TLS connections, which
+“should improve Tor’s resistance against some kinds of traffic analysis,
+and lower some overhead from needlessly closed connections”.
- [XXX]:
+You can download the source tarball [XXX], or install the package by
+following the instructions for your system [XXX]. This release is also
+now available in Debian’s unstable repository.

-Item 1 with cited source [XXX].
+Nick Mathewson reminded [XXX] Tor users, relay operators, and especially
+hidden service administrators that tor’s 0.2.2 series is no longer
+supported, and many features will soon stop working entirely; if you are
+affected, then please upgrade!
-Item 2 with cited source [XXX].

-Item 3 with cited source [XXX].
+Researchers from the Internet Geographies project at the Oxford Internet
+Institute produced a cartogram [XXX] of Tor users by country, using
+archived data freely available from the Tor Project’s own Metrics
+portal [XXX], along with an analysis of the resulting image. “As ever
+more governments seek to control and censor online activities, users
+face a choice to either perform their connected activities in ways that
+adhere to official policies, or to use anonymity to bring about a freer
+and more open Internet”, they conclude.
