+## New Release: Tor Browser 10.5
+https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-105
+
+Tor Browser 10.5 is now available from the Tor Browser download page and also from our distribution directory.
-We're excited to announce that Snowflake (https://snowflake.torproject.org) will be shipped as one of the default bridge options with stable versions of Tor Browser later this month.
+This new Tor Browser release is focused on improving the internet access of users connecting through Tor in censored contexts.
-What is Snowflake? Snowflake is a pluggable transport that uses a combination of domain fronting and peer-to-peer WebRTC connections between clients and volunteers to circumvent Internet censorship. Snowflake is highly censorship resistant, and used only for the initial bootstrapping of the connection. As such, it requires much lower bandwidth and shorter connections than existing domain fronting pluggable transports like meek (https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-transports/meek.git/), making it a more scalable alternative.
+What's New?
