 This week in Tor history
 ------------------------
 
-Text with cited source [XXX].
+A year ago this week [XXX], Yawning Angel announced [XXX] the
+development of obfs4, a next-generation censorship-circumvention system
+based on ScrambleSuit but using djb crypto, which (since you asked) means
+“a combination of Curve25519, Elligator2, HMAC-SHA256, XSalsa20/Poly1305
+and SipHash-2-4”. The now-mature obfs4 was recently made the default
+pluggable transport offered to users requesting bridge relay addresses
+from the BridgeDB service [XXX], and has gained over a thousand regular
+users [XXX] since its inclusion in the stable Tor Browser series this
+time last month.

+Also celebrating its one-year anniversary is Micah Lee’s simple onion
+service-based filesharing tool, OnionShare [XXX], whose fans include
+national security journalists [XXX] and unnamed Tor Project
+members [XXX]…
