-Feature XXX
------------
+The future of Private Browsing Mode
+-----------------------------------
 
-Feature 1 with cited source [XXX]
+Mozilla Firefox, on which Tor Browser is based, offers users a
+“Private Browsing Mode” that aims solely to prevent browsing information
+from being saved locally. As Georg Koppen pointed out [XXX], “The
+question is now how to treat the other privacy-relevant areas like
+cross-origin linkability or fingerprinting?”
 
- [XXX]:
+Georg proposed a “Private Browsing Mode+”, which would integrate the
+disk-avoidance, anti-tracking, anti-fingerprinting, and
+location-concealing elements of a privacy-preserving browser in a more
+logical way.
 
-Monthly status reports for XXX month 2015

-
-The wave of regular monthly reports from Tor project members for the
-month of XXX has begun. XXX released his report first [XXX], followed

 Miscellaneous news
 ------------------
 
-Item 1 with cited source [XXX].
+After a “pretty big overhaul” [XXX], Damian Johnson announced that
+Stem [XXX], the Tor controller library, now “lazy-loads” descriptors,
+resulting in a considerable speed increase when reading network
+documents [XXX]. “Note that descriptor validation is now opt-in rather
+than opt-out, so if you’d prefer validation over performance you’ll now
+need to include ‘validate = True’.”
