+Tails 1.2 is out
+----------------
+
+The Tails team put out version 1.2 [XXX] of the anonymizing live
+operating system. This release replaces the Iceweasel browser with “most
+of” the regular Tor Browser, and confines several important applications
+with AppArmor.
+
+I2P will now, like Tor, be started upon network connection if activated
+with the “i2p” boot parameter, and must be used with the new dedicated
+I2P Browser. This is also the last Tails release to ship with the
+now-unmaintained TrueCrypt tool, but the Tails team has already
+documented the method for opening TrueCrypt volumes with
+cryptsetup [XXX]. See the team’s announcement for a full list of changes
+in the new version.
+
+This is an important security release and all users should upgrade as
+soon as possible. If you have a running Tails, you should be able to use
+the incremental updater; if your Tails drive was manually created, or
+you are a new user, head to the download page [XXX] for more
+information.

+Tor Browser 4.0 is out
+----------------------
+
+Mike Perry announced [XXX] a major release by the Tor Browser team.
+Version 4.0 of the secure and anonymous web browser brings several
+exciting new features to the stable series, including the meek [XXX]
+censorship-circumvention tool, the secure updater, and a simplified
+Javascript enabling/disabling process in NoScript, all based on a
+customized Firefox ESR31. SSLv3 is also disabled, in response to the
+recent POODLE attack.
+
+This release contains important security fixes, and all users should
+upgrade as soon as possible. Please note that the new directory
+structure means users cannot simply extract the new Tor Browser over
+their existing 3.6.6 directory, and must instead delete the old version
+entirely. The secure updater still requires manual activation in the
+“About Tor Browser” menu option, as its security will depend “on the
+specific CA that issued the www.torproject.org HTTPS certificate
+(Digicert)” until site-specific certificate pinning [XXX] and signed
+update files [XXX] are implemented. Furthermore, “we still need to
+improve meek’s performance to match other transports”, wrote Mike, “so
+adjust your expectations accordingly”.
+
+See Mike’s post for further details and a full changelog, and get your
+copy of Tor Browser 4.0 from the distribution directory [XXX] or the
+download page [XXX].
