It doesn't  mention that api changes in 9.11 from release notes pages of 
9.11.0rc1 and 9.11.0.

But it suggests not to use 9.11 until the second maintenance 
release(9.11.2 if I understand correctly) for production systems:

production systems, while testing the new 9.11 branch until the second 
maintenance release.
