I built a Debian package from these Tor 0.2.5.11 sources (with the
Debian packaging for 0.2.5.10 added), and then built a Tails image with
it, and ran our full automated test suite, which of course involves a
lot of Tor usage. I'm happy to say that no regressions were found so it
looks like a solid release, as usual. Good job!

Cheers!
