| 7 | # Topics |
|||
| 8 | ||||
| 9 | 1. **Status of OpenVPN 2.4** |
|||
| 10 | - Assign tickets to "alpha 2.4", "beta 2.4", "RC 2.4" and 2.4.0 |
|||
| 11 | 2. **Replacing openvpnserv.exe with [NSSM](http://nssm.cc)** |
|||
| 12 | - Proof of concept is ready and works |
|||
| 13 | - If OpenVPN dies, NSSM restarts it immediately |
|||
| 14 | - NSSM installs itself as a Windows system service, meaning that the setup survives a reboot |
|||
| 15 | - Just bundling nssm.exe is adequate as-is for the corporate use-case |
|||
| 16 | - NSSM configuration GUI / command-line is too difficult for generic end users |
|||
| 17 | - All nitty gritty details have to be configured manually for every connection after install |
|||
| 18 | - NSSM configuration has to be made more automatic |
|||
| 19 | - Writing a full-fledged application (e.g. C# + Winforms) would be an overkill |
|||
| 20 | - A [HTML application](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692768.aspx) (.hta) running in a browser is probably the least bad solution |
|||
| 21 | - Due to the need for privileged operations the browser needs to be Internet Explorer |
|||
| 22 | - The code itself will be Javascript that runs privileged operation in Windows Scripting Host (WSH) and parses the results |
|||
| 23 | - More discussion in Samuli's [mailing list monologue](http://sourceforge.net/p/openvpn/mailman/message/34237056/) |
|||
| 24 | 3. **SourceForge's modifications of project files** |
|||
| 25 | - Sourceforge has been silently adding adware to project installers, thus betraying the trust of the project's using their service |
|||
| 26 | - Many projects have already left SourceForge |
|||
| 27 | - Statements from [Notepad++](https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/notepad-plus-plus-leaves-sf.html) and [Gimp](https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list/2015-May/msg00144.html) |
|||
| 28 | - Should we follow suit? |
|||
| 29 | 4. **Windows 8.1 DNS registration issues** |
|||
| 30 | - [Issue with register-dns in Windows 8.1](ticket:399) |
|||
| 31 | - [ipconfig failing to execute during VPN connection](ticket:516) |
|||
| 32 | - Who will fix and how? |
