- **Updated: Release 2.7**
+
OpenVPN 2.7rc5 was released 15 January.
+
The stable release 2.7.0 is currently planned for 28 January.
+
Possible caveat - we did receive a security report very recently that hasn't been evaluated yet, so it might delay the release a bit if it's real.

- **Updated: mbedtls support**
+
The plan is to get to mbedtls4 implementation in OpenVPN 2.7 in some version after 2.7.0.
+
In ongoing work MaxF reports that --dh is not possible/needed with mbedtls, so will come up with some solution for users with configs that have it.
- **Release 2.6.18**

We will continue to work on it and test it and make it ready for a big switch.
