				+  Tor 0.2.3.2-alpha introduces two new experimental features: 
			 | 
		
	
		
			
				 | 
				 | 
			
			
				+  microdescriptors and pluggable transports. It also continues cleaning 
			 |

			 |

				 | 
				 | 
			
			
				-      designed to change very rarely (see proposal 158 for details). This

				-      slow internet connections. It's off by default for now, since

				-      nearly no caches support it, but it will be on-by-default for

				 | 
			
			
				-      clients in a future version. You can use the UseMicrodescriptors 
			 |

			 | 
		
	
		
			
				 | 
				 | 
			
			
				     - Tor clients using bridges can now be configured to use a separate 
			 | 
		
	
		
			
				 | 
				 | 
			
			
				       'transport' proxy for each bridge. This approach helps to resist 
			 | 
		
	
		
			
				 | 
				 | 
			
			
				       censorship by allowing bridges to use protocol obfuscation
