+Erinn Clark alerted [XXX] users of the Trac-based Tor wiki [XXX] to the
+fact that a bug (now fixed) made it possible to register an account with
+an already-taken username, “overwriting the existing user’s password and
+thereby taking over the account”. “We recommend users try to login and if
+you find you are unable to do so, you can reset your password” on the
+appropriate Trac page [XXX].

+Daniel Martí sent out [XXX] a list of proposed revisions — arrived at in
+discussion with other developers on IRC — to the now slightly outdated
+proposal 140, which forms the basis of his upcoming Google Summer of
+Code project to implement consensus diffs and so reduce the amount of
+information downloaded hourly by Tor clients. Among the proposals are
+support for microdescriptor consensus diffs and a time limit to prevent
+the leak of information about when Tor was last used; “ideas about what
+might be missing or needing an update are welcome”, wrote Daniel.
