Hi,

we are happy to announce the first alpha in the 4.0 series. It contains
a bunch of new things most notably the meek pluggable transport, a tor
based on the 0.2.5 series and a new directory layout simplifying the
code for the auto-updater which is coming soon. Furthermore, it contains
a bunch of updates, bugfixes and minor new features. The bundles can be
found at:
