# Topics

## OpenVPN 2.4
- **What is missing?**
  - Interactive service
  - AEAD
  - The MacOS X keychain patch
    - The patch is ready, but there are Makefile changes which need work
  - Minor tunings to openvpn-gui.nsi / openvpn-build integration
    - The actual openvpn-gui.exe is not signed, can be fixed with some refactoring of openvpn-build
- **Candidates for inclusion**
  - Replacement for Windows service wrapper (openvpnserv.exe)
    - **Facts**
      - It sucks badly
      - People complain and have complained about it more or less constantly for years
      - It is getting more broken with new Windows releases
        - Apparently it works really poorly on Windows 8 and later
      - Current developers do not know how to fix it
    - A better alternative might be [nssm.exe](http://www.nssm.cc/)
      - Generic service manager
      - Code under public domain
      - Actively maintained
      - [openvpn-user discussion](http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.user/35533)
      - [openvpn-devel discussion](http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/9548)
    - Do we move forward with nssm.exe?
- **Release date?**
