Welcome to the tenth issue of Tor Weekly News in 2014, the weekly
newsletter that covers what is happening in the XXX Tor community.
-New Release of XXX
-------------------
+New release of tor-ramdisk
+--------------------------
-XXX: cite specific release date, numbers, and developers responsible
+On March 9th, Anthony G. Basile has released [XXX] a new version of
+tor-ramdisk [XXX]. Tor-ramdisk is a “micro Linux distribution whose only
+purpose is to host a Tor server in an environment that maximizes
+security and privacy. Security is enhanced by hardening the kernel and
+binaries, and privacy is enhanced by forcing logging to be off at all
+levels so that even the Tor operator only has access to minimal
+information. Finally, since everything runs in ephemeral memory, no
+information survives a reboot […].”
-XXX: details about release
+The new version contains Tor 2.4.21 and an updated kernel. The main
+changes is the addition of “haveged, a daemon to help generate entropy
+on diskless systems, for a more cryptographically sound system”.
