+Tor Browser 3.6 is released
+---------------------------
-Feature 1 with cited source [XXX]
+The long-awaited Tor Browser 3.6 was finally declared stable [XXX] on
+April 29th. Tor Browser 3.6 is the first version to fully integrate
+pluggable transports, enabling easier access to the Tor network when
+access is blocked. The browser is based on the latest Firefox ESR 24.5.0
+and includes a new round of security fixes [XXX].
- [XXX]:
+When configuring how to access the Tor network, users can now select one
+of the included list of “obfs3“ [XXX] or “fte” [XXX] bridges. Using
+Flashproxy is also an option but often requires further
+configuration [XXX] on the local firewall and router. Manually
+specifying bridges [XXX] is still an option, now with support for the
+aforementioned pluggable transports.
+
+Many small usability enhancements have been done: Tor error messages
+are translated, the wording on several dialog windows has been improved
+from user feedback, and Mac users now install the browser from the
+usual disk image format. Turkish localization has also been enabled.
+
+Read the release announcement for a complete changelog. Be sure
+to upgrade [XXX]!
