+ * **Updated: OpenVPN GUI improvements**\
+ In OpenVPN GUI code wintun is now replaced with win-dco. Some code cleanup still remains to be done.\
+ OpenVPN GUI is also capable of adding new adapters (tap or win-dco) as needed if more than one connection needs to be active at the same time.\
+ These changes are available in technical previews currently and will go out as an official release with OpenVPN 2.7.
+
+ * **Updated: testing framework improvements**\
+ mattock reports that win-dco iroute testing is progressing but not yet done.\
+ server log tail output in t_server_null.sh on failure is now working.

* **Release 2.7**\
Current estimates are to have all major code items in by May 1st and then a release on July 1st.\
Because DCO kernel upstreaming was completed, a backport of that code was made. It will become the new DCO module and is incompatible with the old one.\
- OpenVPN master which will become 2.7 now has the userspace code to support the new DCO code, so when 2.7 goes out, so will the new DCO module.\
- An application was submitted to OTF for a security audit of DCO-WIN.\
- For the security audit on 2.7 we need to make some 2.7-alpha version.\
- Regarding the arm64 openssl issue that we encountered, according to microsoft, this was a bug in MSVC build tools and the new (preview) version has it fixed.

- * **OpenVPN GUI improvements**\
- With OpenVPN 2.7 it will be possible to support server with DCO, whereas before it had to tap/wintun.\
- We already wanted to remove wintun, so we'll implement a logic to autodetect if we can remap wintun to DCO otherwise TAP.\
- Additionally OpenVPN GUI will add ability to add new adapters as needed, if more than one connection is active at a time.

Client-side support looks to be relatively straight-forward.\
Server-side support patch is up and requires review and is a bit more involved.
