 Welcome to the forty-fourth issue in 2014 of Tor Weekly News, the weekly
 newsletter that covers what’s happening in the XXX Tor community.

+Tor 0.2.6.1-alpha is out
+------------------------
 
-Feature 1 with cited source [XXX]
+Following last week’s stablization of Tor 0.2.5.x, Nick Mathewson
+announced [XXX] the first alpha release in the Tor 0.2.6.x series.
+Quoting the changelog, this version “includes numerous code cleanups and
+new tests, and fixes a large number of annoying bugs. Out-of-memory
+conditions are handled better than in 0.2.5, pluggable transports have
+improved proxy support, and clients now use optimistic data for
+contacting hidden services.” Support for some very old compilers that do
+not understand the C99 programming standard, as well as systems without
+threading support and the Windows CE operating system, has also been
+dropped.
 
- [XXX]:
+“This is the first alpha release in a new series, so expect there to be
+bugs.” If you want to test it out, you can find the source code in the
+distribution directory [XXX], as usual.

+
+Tor Browser 4.0.1 is out
+------------------------
+
+Mike Perry announced [XXX] a bugfix release by the Tor Browser team.
+This version disables DirectShow, which was causing the Windows build of
+Tor Browser to crash when visiting many websites [XXX]. This is not a
+security release, but Windows users who have experienced this issue
+should upgrade.
+
+Please see Mike’s post for the changelog, and download your copy from
+the project page [XXX].
