+The Tor Project now accepts donation in Bitcoin
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+As it is often pointed out in the press, the largest part of the Tor
+Project's financial support is coming from US governement related
+organizations. In the on-going effort to offer as many possible ways
+for individual and organizations to help to the project, bitcoins
+donations are now accepted [XXX].
+
+As Roger Dingledine wrote in a subsequent comment: “We really need to get some
+funding for core Tor development, and especially for improving Tor's anonymity,
+because none of our current funders care enough about the anonymity side of
+Tor. Outreach and blocking-resistance are great topics, but we can't let the
+anonymity part rot.”
+
+Head over to the donations page [XXX] to learn more about how to chip in
+bitcoins or other currencies.

Welcome to the 26th issue of Tor Weekly News, the weekly newsletter that
covers what is happening in the XXX Tor community.
+
+The 3.x series of the Tor Browser Bundle is now stable
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+After more than a year of work, Mike Perry has officialy blessed the 3.5
+release of the Tor Browser Bundle as the new stable release [XXX].
+Compared to the previous stable series, it features a deterministic
+build system [XXX] for distributed trust [XXX], a new integrated
+interface to interact with Tor [XXX] and all the improvements from Tor
+0.2.4 [XXX].
+
+Users of the previous 2.x series might be a little disoriented by the
+user interface changes. David Fifield, Matt Pagan and others have been
+compiling the most frequent questions [XXX] heard after the switch.
+Until the integrated browser interface catches up, new Vidalia bundles
+are now available for those who need them. Erinn Clark is ironing out
+the remaining integration issues.
+
+With the discontinuation of Firefox 17 ESR, the new release
+had to be pushed to users to avoid exposing them to security holes.
+Firefox 24 ESR, on which the Tor Browser is now based, should be
+supported by Mozilla for approximately one year. This should leave our
+browser hackers some time to focus more on user experience improvements,
+test automation, and better resistance to fingerprinting issues.
+
+Several piece of documentation, tutorials and videos might now be
+out-of-date in one way of another in many places. Please help report
+them or, even better, write updated versions.
+
+This release is quite a milestone for the project. Update and enjoy!
