New stable series point releases typically happen every couple months, 
either once enough bug patches have accumulated to make it worthwhile or 
when there is a severe bug fixed.
Until v8.4.9 is publically released in a few weeks, you could always 
grab a pre-release of v8.4.9 and test things out with that.  If you 
don't want to build it from source from git, on wiki.htcondor.org there 
is a link named "Batlab per-commit build results" or something similar 
that points to our build farm where you can grab binaries for a recent 
v8.4.9 pre-release build to test out.  Batlab = Build And Test Lab.
Specifically, for MacOS10 v8.4.9 pre-release, you can grab a tarball 
from a build done last week at

http://submit-3.batlab.org/nmi-runs/condorauto/2016/08/condorauto_submit-3.batlab.org_1471018963_239038/userdir/nmi:x86_64_MacOSX10/results.tar.gz

and in that tarball you will find a tarball of the Mac binaries at path

 public\condor-8.4.9-378139-x86_64_MacOSX10-stripped.tar.gz
