+Changes in version 0.2.9.7-rc - 2016-12-??

+Changes in version 0.2.8.10 - 2016-12-02
+  Tor 0.2.8.10 backports a fix for a bug that would sometimes make clients
+  unusable after they left standby mode. It also backports fixes for
+  a few portability issues and a small but problematic memory leak.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (client reliability, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha):
+    - When Tor leaves standby because of a new application request, open
+      circuits as needed to serve that request. Previously, we would
+      potentially wait a very long time. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix
+      on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (client performance, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha):
+    - Clients now respond to new application stream requests immediately
+      when they arrive, rather than waiting up to one second before
+      starting to handle them. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix
+      on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (portability, backport from 0.2.9.6-rc):
+    - Work around a bug in the OSX 10.12 SDK that would prevent us from
+      successfully targeting earlier versions of OSX. Resolves
+      ticket 20235.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (portability, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha):
+    - Fix implicit conversion warnings under OpenSSL 1.1. Fixes bug
+      20551; bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (relay, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha):
+    - Work around a memory leak in OpenSSL 1.1 when encoding public
+      keys. Fixes bug 20553; bugfix on 0.0.2pre8.
+
+  o Minor features (geoip):
+    - Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 3 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
+      Country database.
