Tested briefly on Virtualbox-Whonix. No obvious issues.
When was 0.2.8.10-rc announced and how? I don’t see any announcement on tor-announce or tor-talk. I wouldn’t want to add jessie-proposed-updates to my stable machines and I don’t want to check constantly if there are new versions on a test machine. But I’d like to test before stable release - and maybe switch my repo back deb.torproject.org.
Changes in version 0.2.8.11 - 2016-12-08
Tor 0.2.8.11 backports fixes for additional portability issues that
could prevent Tor from building correctly on OSX Sierra, or with
OpenSSL 1.1. Affected users should upgrade; others can safely stay
with 0.2.8.10.

Add new flags to the *Port options to give finer control over which requests are allowed. The flags are NoDNSRequest, NoOnionTraffic, and the synthetic flag OnionTrafficOnly, which is equivalent to NoDNSRequest, NoIPv4Traffic, and NoIPv6Traffic. Closes enhancement 18693; patch by “teor”.
Minor features (controller):
Some new control events. STATUS_SERVER may improve usability for hibernating laptop users.
Minor features (unix domain sockets):
When configuring a unix domain socket for a SocksPort, ControlPort, or Hidden service, you can now wrap the address in quotes, using C-style escapes inside the quotes. This allows unix domain socket paths to contain spaces. Resolves ticket 18753.
Minor bugfixes (client, unix domain sockets):
Disable IsolateClientAddr when using AF_UNIX backed SocksPorts as the client address is meaningless. Fixes bug 20261; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
