 Welcome to the forty-sixth issue in 2014 of Tor Weekly News, the weekly
 newsletter that covers what’s happening in the XXX Tor community.
 
-Feature XXX
------------
+Tor Browser 4.5-alpha-1 is out
+------------------------------
 
-Feature 1 with cited source [XXX]
+Mike Perry announced [XXX] the first alpha release in the Tor Browser
+4.5 series. This version goes some way to restoring one of the features
+most missed by users following the removal of the now-defunct Vidalia
+interface from Tor Browser — the ability to quickly visualize the Tor
+circuit that the current page is using. Clicking on the green Torbutton
+icon in the Tor Browser window now brings up a small diagram showing the
+IP addresses of all relays in a circuit, and the states in which they
+are located; this may help users evaluate the suitability of the
+circuits their Tor has selected, and also to quickly identify a
+malicious exit relay if they notice unusual behavior in downloaded pages
+and files.

+Tor Browser on 32-bit Macs approaches end-of-life
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+Now that Apple has discontinued support for the last remaining 32-bit
+Mac systems, Mike Perry announced [XXX] that the Tor Browser team will
+soon stop distributing 32-bit builds of its software. This week’s
+4.5-alpha-1, like all future releases in the 4.5 series, is only
+available in a 64-bit build, and all support for 32-bit systems will end
+once 4.5 supersedes 4.0.
+
+“32-bit Mac users likely have a month or two to decide what to do”,
+wrote Mike. “If your actual Mac hardware is 64-bit capable, you can
+upgrade to either the 64-bit edition of OSX 10.6 (which we will continue
+to support for a bit longer), or use the app store to upgrade to 10.9 or
+10.10. If your hardware is not 64-bit capable and won’t run these newer
+Mac operating systems, you should still be able to use Tails [XXX],
+which contains the Tor Browser.”
+
+As a side effect of this transition, Tor Browser 4.0’s experimental
+in-browser secure updater will not handle the upgrade to the 64-bit
+build correctly for any Mac user; the old version must instead be
+replaced manually with the new one.
