 Welcome to the Xth issue of Tor Weekly News, the weekly newsletter that
 covers what is happening in the XXX Tor community.
 
-New Release of XXX
-------------------
+First beta release of Tor Browser Bundle 3.0
+--------------------------------------------
 
-XXX: cite specific release date, numbers, and developers responsible
+The Tor Browser Bundle [XXX] is Tor flagship product: an easy and
+straightforward way to browse the web with anonymity and privacy. 
 
-XXX: details about release
+With previous Tor Browser Bundles, users had to interact with two
+different applications, Vidalia and the browser itself. Vidalia was 
+responsible for handling and configuring tor and the browser had no
+knowledge of the connection status and other details. The result was
+confusing error messages, and mismatched user expectations.
 
- [XXX]
+With the 3.0 series of Tor Browser Bundle, the browser is directly 
+responsible for configuring and handling the tor daemon.
+Users only see one single application. It's clearer than only the 
+browser will go through the Tor network. Starting and stopping the 
+browser will take care of starting and stopping tor, no extra steps are
+required.
+
+Mike Perry, Kathleen Brade, Mark Smith, Geoerg Kopen, among others, are
+working hard to perfect many other usability and technical improvements
+that are part of Tor Browser Bundle 3.0 which has now reached the “beta”
+stage.
+
+The new 3.0beta1 release [XXX] is based on Firefox 17.0.10esr for security
+updates [XXX], and contains several other small improvements and 
+corrections.
+
+Current users of the 3.0 alpha series should update. Others should give
+it a try [XXX]!
