# Topics
+ - **New: cancelled meetings**
+ On December 24 and December 31 there will be no community meetings, for obvious reasons.
+
- **Updated: Release 2.7**
- Release 2.7rc3 was released on 28 November and addresses a local DoS in Windows interactive service.
- This fix was also made available in a 2.6.17 release.
- Note that for 2.5 branch we did put the fix in code but didn't build a new Windows installer, as that branch is out of support.
- We're pretty close to 2.7 being ready for a stable release.
- Currently however the signing key we use for Windows builds is expiring so we need to get a new one first.
+ We have a new signing key so we are unblocked for further releases.
Tentatively an rc4 will be coming on December 17. And followed by stable tentatively on January 14.

- - **Updated: Release 2.6.17**
- The same local DoS in Windows interactive service was also fixed in 2.6 and was released with 2.6.17.
+ - **Updated: 2.7 security audit**
+ There are still things ongoing in regards to the security audit but no new major findings so far.
+ Still have items to review and go through, but this is ongoing.
+
+ - **Updated: forums situation**
+ Currently website team from OpenVPN Inc is looking further into a migration to a new forum platform.
+ Question was raised what to do with forum avatars - suggested to just not migrate those as being irrelevant.
+ Current estimate is being able to switch to new forums in Q1 2026 somewhere.
