Welcome to the ninth issue in 2015 of Tor Weekly News, the weekly

-Monthly status reports for XXX month 2015
+Tor Browser 4.0.4 and 4.5-alpha-4 are out
-----------------------------------------
-The wave of regular monthly reports from Tor project members for the
-month of XXX has begun. XXX released his report first [XXX], followed
-by reports from name 2 [XXX], name 3 [XXX], and name 4 [XXX].
+The Tor Browser team announced new releases in the stable and alpha
+branches of the privacy-preserving browser. Version 4.0.4 [XXX] contains
+updates to the bundled versions of Firefox, OpenSSL, HTTPS-Everywhere
+and NoScript (disabling the new NoScript option to make temporary
+permissions permanent); it also prevents meek from issuing a second
+update notification.

+Meanwhile, following on from the recent Tor UX sprint [XXX], version
+4.5-alpha-4 [XXX] incorporates many interface improvements designed to
+make life easier for Tor users. The connection configuration wizard has
+been reordered to avoid confusion between network proxies and bridge
+relays, while a reorganized Torbutton menu now offers a “New circuit for
+this site” option that removes the need for the user to close all open
+pages in order to change circuits for one destination. If users do
+decide to use the “New identity” option, they will now be warned that
+this involves losing currently-open tabs and windows.
+
+Please see the announcements for full details of the changes, as well as
+instructions for download and verification.

+Reddit donates $82,765.95 to The Tor Project, Inc.
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+One year ago, the online discussion site Reddit announced [XXX] that it
+would be donating 10% of its advertising revenue in 2014 to ten
+non-profits, to be selected by the Reddit community. Voting took place
+over the last week, and The Tor Project, Inc. placed tenth in the final
+ranking [XXX], making it eligible for a $82,765.95 donation.
+
+Community donations like this are a big step on the way to solving the
+problem of overreliance on single funding streams — often from national
+governments — that affects open-source security projects, as recently
+discussed [XXX] by Jillian York of the Electronic Frontier Foundation
+(who came first [XXX] in Reddit’s donation drive). Many thanks to Reddit
+(the company) and Reddit (the community) for their magnificent gesture
+of support for privacy and anonymity online — and if you’d like to join
+them, please take a look at the Tor Project website [XXX] for ways to
+contribute!
