 Replying to [comment:6 micahlee]:
 > I've recently added a settings dialog that lets users choose if they
 want the stable or alpha version, and I would love to add the pluggable
 transports bundle to that list too. But I can't until there's a reliable
 way to check for the latest Obfsproxy TBB version.

 I don't think you should count on the pluggable transports version number
 ever appearing in RecommendedTBBVersions. Making releases is already
 difficult enough and involves a lot of people; adding even more version
 numbers makes maintenance that much harder.

 You might have luck scraping
 https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy.html.en#download. Even that
 is wrong at the moment; the Windows link is broken per #8804.

 The existence of a separate pluggable transports bundle is temporary.
 #8019 is about moving pluggable transports into the normal TBB.
