 Welcome to the fiftieth issue in 2014 of Tor Weekly News, the weekly
-newsletter that covers what’s happening in the XXX Tor community.
+newsletter that covers what’s happening in the Tor community.
 
-Feature XXX
------------
+Solidarity against online harassment
+------------------------------------
 
-Feature 1 with cited source [XXX]
+Following “a sustained campaign of harassment” directed at a core Tor
+developer over the past few months, the Tor Project published a
+statement [XXX] in which it declared “support for her, for every member
+of our organization, and for every member of our community who
+experiences this harassment”: “In categorically condemning the urge to
+harass, we mean categorically: we will neither tolerate it in others,
+nor will we accept it among ourselves. We are dedicated to both
+protecting our employees and colleagues from violence, and trying to
+foster more positive and mindful behavior online ourselves…We are
+working within our community to devise ways to concretely support people
+who suffer from online harassment; this statement is part of that
+discussion. We hope it will contribute to the larger public conversation
+about online harassment and we encourage other organizations to sign on
+to it or write one of their own.”
 
- [XXX]:
+As of this writing, there are 448 signatories to the statement,
+including Tor developers and community members, academics, journalists,
+lawyers, and many others who are lending their support to this movement
+in its early stages. If you want to add your name to the list, please
+send an email to tor-assistants at lists.torproject.org.
 
-Monthly status reports for XXX month 2014

-The wave of regular monthly reports from Tor project members for the
-month of XXX has begun. XXX released his report first [XXX], followed
-by reports from name 2 [XXX], name 3 [XXX], and name 4 [XXX].
+Tails 1.2.2 is out
+------------------
 
- [XXX]:

- [XXX]:
+The Tails team announced [XXX] a pointfix release of the amnesic live
+operating system. The only difference between this version and the
+recent 1.2.1 release is that the automatic Tails Updater now expects a
+different certificate authority when checking for a new Tails version.
+As the team explained, “On January 3rd, the SSL certificate of our
+website hosting provider, boum.org, will expire. The new certificate
+will be issued by a different certificate authority […] As a
+consequence, versions previous to 1.2.2 won’t be able to do the next
+automatic upgrade to version 1.2.3 and will receive an error message
+from Tails Upgrader when starting Tails after January 3rd”.
+
+This, along with a bug [XXX] that prevents automatic updates from 1.2.1
+to 1.2.2, means that all Tails users will need to upgrade manually:
+either to version 1.2.2 before January 3rd or (if for some reason that
+is not possible) to version 1.2.3 following its release on January 14th.
+Please see the team’s post for more details and download instructions.
