+Upcoming pluggable transports developments
+------------------------------------------
+
+In a new blog post [XXX], George Kadianakis gave some news on recent
+pluggable transports [XXX] developments. Some like the release of
+Tor Browser 3.6 [XXX], the deprecation of obfs2 [XXX], the new meek
+transort [XXX], or the recent “Childs Garden Of Pluggable
+Transports” [XXX] should already be known to Tor Weekly News' readers.
+
+It was previously impossible to use pluggable transports simultaneously
+with an HTTP or SOCKS proxy. The release of Tor Browser 3.6.2 [XXX]
+is the first to include the work of Yawning Angel which solved this
+deficiency.
+
+ScrambleSuit, released last Winter, has however not been included in
+Tor Browser yet. The pluggable transport team is considering skipping
+its actual deployement to prefer a new protocol, dubbed “obfs4” [XXX],
+which is “like ScrambleSuit (with regards to features and threat model),
+but it's faster and autofixes some of the open issues”.
+
+George also mentions that enabling pluggable transport to work over IPv6
+is on the team's radar. As advanced deep packet inspection on IPv6 is
+less common, it should buy some more time to users in censored network.
