* **Updated: 2.7.6 release**
We want to do another release for security fixes. Some of them didn't seem worth keeping embargo on, so those are reviewed on Gerrit.
Currently we are planning for a release next week around August 5th.
- There will be a 2.6.22 release as well.
-
- # Backlog
-
- - **CVE handling during holidays**
- Due to holidays, temporarily evaluation of CVE and assigning IDs is postponed. This will be for approximately 3 weeks.
- Reports will still be able to come in but determining if it's an actual CVE or not and assigning an ID will have to wait.
-
- - **test latency and MTU in openvpn**
- A new feature is proposed for adding to master; ability to do latency and MTU tests in the OpenVPN protocol.
- Idea is to allow to do a 'best server selection' type of logic, in case there are multiple servers available to connect to.
- RFC PR is at https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-rfc/pull/30 and an early initial implementation is available from lev.
-
- - **community meetup 2026**
- Coordination is currently taking place here: https://community.openvpn.net/Meetups/2026-Paderborn
- The date is around 17 and 18 October, location in Paderborn, Germany.
- ordex has volunteered to update and polish the page, fill in some further details.
-
- - **2.7 security audit**
- The security audit was completed for 2.7.0 and results are available internally.
- We are working to publish this in an official blog post. ordex and novaflash are driving this in OpenVPN Inc. internally.
-
- * **Amount of open changes in the queue**
- Some discussion about the number of open patches (e.g. about 120 open changes in Gerrit). We definitely need to
- look into our processes again and how to spread all that work reviewing, testing, and integrating. Likely also a
- topic for the 2026 Community Meetup in Paderborn. djpig is working on better documenting the current processes,
- see e.g. [1776: Start a new document CODE_CHECKLIST](https://gerrit.openvpn.net/c/openvpn/+/1776) in Gerrit.
-
- * **Coordinating big changes**
- A related discussion is how to handle big changesets (e.g. currently the multipeer changes from plaisthos and the
- oob changes from lev). There was some unhappiness that these changesets are dropped without sufficient context and
- that makes it hard to keep track of all the developments. One advise is that developers that want to have big (or many)
- changes merged are encouraged to write a mail to the mailing list to provide a "cover letter" for the patch set and
- a convenient place to discuss the overall direction without getting bogged down in the discussion of individual changes.
- We have lost this practice since not generally using mail-based patchsets anymore. That can be also a good opportunity
- to point out dicussions happening in PRs for the RFC document.
+ There will be a 2.6.22 release as well.
