 Welcome to the thirty-ninth issue in 2014 of Tor Weekly News, the weekly
 newsletter that covers what is happening in the XXX Tor community.
 
-Feature XXX
------------
+Tor 0.2.4.24 and 0.2.5.8-rc are out
+-----------------------------------
 
-Feature 1 with cited source [XXX]
+Roger Dingledine announced [XXX] new releases in both the stable and the
+alpha branches of the core Tor software. Clients accessing hidden
+services should experience faster and more robust connections as they
+will now send the correct rendezvous point address. “They used to send
+the wrong address, which would still work some of the time because they
+also sent the identity digest of the rendezvous point, and if the hidden
+service happened to try connecting to the rendezvous point from a relay
+that already had a connection open to it, the relay would reuse that
+connection”. This fix also prevents the endianness [XXX] of the client’s
+system from being leaked to the hidden service.
 
- [XXX]:
+The only other changes in these releases are an update of the geoip
+databases and the location of the gabelmoo directory authority [XXX]. As
+usual, you can download the source code from the Tor distribution
+directory [XXX].

+Anthony G. Basile announced [XXX] the release of version 20140925 of
+tor-ramdisk, the micro Linux distribution whose only purpose is to host
+a Tor server in an environment that maximizes security and privacy. This
+release includes updates to Tor, BusyBox, OpenSSL, and the Linux kernel.

-Item 3 with cited source [XXX].
+Yawning Angel sent [XXX] a “friendly reminder” to ScrambleSuit bridge
+operators, asking them to upgrade to tor-0.2.5.x if they haven’t
+already: “If you are running a ScrambleSuit bridge with tor-0.2.4.x, it
+is useless. Users that happen to be served your ScrambleSuit bridge will
+not be able to connect, because the password is missing”.
