- - **forums situation**
- The new forums are now live. If you had an account there you will need to reset your password and reactivate your account.
- At the moment it has a header/footer that are very corporatey (the work was done by OpenVPN Inc.) but this will be adjusted to community stuff.
- Further improvements and adjustments will be made in the coming days and weeks.
- For more information see: https://forums.openvpn.net/d/46497-welcome-to-the-new-openvpn-community-forum

- - **OpenVPN 2.7 release**
- We have some minor bugfixes lined up for the next bugfix release 2.7.1. Intention is to do a 2.7.1 release around 11 March or so.
- There is one issue under investigation when using multisocket, where with many clients, responses are slow.
- This is still an ongoing investigation as it's not straight-forward to reproduce.
-
+ - **New: OpenSSL 4.0 support**
+ A few patches are needed in OpenVPN so it can all compile without warnings.
+ Patches are already up for review in Gerrit, but need review and merging.
+
+ - **New: driver signing**
+ The current driver signing uses an EV key that expires April 15. We have a new one so we can do signing automatically.
+ But we will discuss possible new automation for driver signing. Not a critical topic as we can do it manually, but should not forget.
+
+ - **Updated: OpenVPN 2.7.1 release**
+ OpenVPN 2.7.1 was released on 31st of March. The main website will get the update soon, but on community.openvpn.net it can be found already now.
+ This is mostly a bugfix release. There are a few more DCO event handling fixes coming.
+ We intend to do a 2.6.20 release to bring some of these fixes done in 2.7 to 2.6 as well. Tentatively in 2 weeks from now.
+
+ - **Updated: forums situation**
+ The header and footer were adjusted a while back to be more community focused. It's not entirely perfect yet but further improvements will be made.
+ Syzzer pointed out we have a 'responsible disclosure procedure' on our main website but it's not linked from the website footer anymore.
+ This will be fixed and also be added into the forum footer.
+ A policy document was made up for the forums, just a beginning; https://community.openvpn.net/Community%20Forum
