|||
| 23 | ||||
| 24 | ### 2.6_beta2 release date |
|||
| 25 | - We aim to do this on December 15. Website release to be planned in accordance. |
|||
| 26 | ||||
| 27 | ### Patchset that makes pkcs11 code even worse but will make users happy (becm) |
|||
| 28 | - This patch makes it possible to tell pkcs11 thingee where to look for libraries and then things will just work. |
|||
| 29 | ||||
| 30 | ### License amendment for OpenVPN2 to accommodate mbedtls. |
|||
| 31 | - plaisthos made a first draft. plaisthos asked to get novaflash to ask francis and james to sign off on it. |
|||
| 32 | - In the meantime, we need to compile a list of contributors and get ready to ask them to accept the changes. |
|||
| 33 | ||||
| 34 | ### The reference manual for OpenVPN 2.6 will be posted on the main website this week. |
|||
| 35 | - This will be included in this week's website updates. Note: if there are updates to the documentation in the future kindly advise novaflash so he can update it on the main website too. |
|||
| 36 | ||||
| 37 | ### OpenVPN2 build environment and improving it. |
|||
| 38 | - djpig is currently working on this. The company has decided to prioritize this task. |
|||
| 39 | - In light of the recent security incident, we also want to move the code signing key to an HSM type solution. Working on it. |
|||
| 40 | ||||
| 41 | ### Management interface documentation on the main website will be updated with info from doc/management-notes.txt |
|||
| 42 | ||||
| 43 | ### Automated windows testing status. (lev) |
|||
| 44 | ||||
| 45 | ### What is this page https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/CodeRepositories, can we delete it? |
|||
| 46 | - No, we need to keep it, just has some outdated items that we can update. |
|||
| 47 | ||||
| 48 | ### Peer-to-peer DCO handling status. (ordex, plaisthos) |
|||
| 49 | - For Windows, it works if both peers have --remote, because it is client-only on Windows and therefore expected to work this way. |
|||
| 50 | - On Linux/FreeBSD all previously found nastiness is now resolved and in beta1 already. |
|||
| 51 | ||||
| 52 | ### Initial handshake rate limiting status (cron2, plaisthos) |
|||
| 53 | - plaisthos brought up the idea to do a particular filter method. |
|||
| 54 | ||||
| 55 | ### NM integration / CAP_NET_ADMIN status. (dazo) |
|||
| 56 | - Dazo currently unavailable. |
|||
| 57 | ||||
| 58 | ### Build failure with private-install openssl 3 & DCO ticket #1469. (cron2) |
|||
| 59 | - djpig's environment does not show the bug, but cron2's does. Not sure what's going on yet. |
|||
| 60 | - Will need to investigate further before deciding to make a bug report or not. |
|||
| 61 | ||||
| 62 | ### SRV support, testers, and OpenBSD decision needed. (cron2) |
|||
| 63 | - djpig tested and nacked it - themiron promised to test and did not deliver anything, so it missed the boat. |
|||
| 64 | - Unless a fix comes in early next week and makes it into beta2, then it's likely going to miss the 2.6.0 boat. |
|||
| 65 | ||||
| 66 | ### Management interface improvement patches. (selva) |
|||
| 67 | - 2 parts are now merged, the rest is in the review/merge process. |
|||
| 68 | ||||
| 69 | ### As discussed in Hackathon, we want to do a PoC with using Gerrit for code review. |
|||
| 70 | - This requires an environment to be set up and tuned. This is postponed until after the 2.6 stable release. |
|||
| 71 | ||||
| 72 | ### Forums machine on community infrastructure is only non-Linux system. |
|||
| 73 | - mattock agreed to convert it to rocky linux 8 with ecrist's blessing. |
|||
| 74 | - Was blocked from creating a VM, am now unblocked, will work on it now. |
|||
| 75 | ||||
| 76 | ### Forums issues, permissions, layout. |
|||
| 77 | - Over the weekend things were broken on the forums, they're working again now. For some reason, novaflash and openvpn_inc are being denied permissions, why? |
|||
| 78 | ||||
| 79 | ### novaflash needs some input on https://www-dev.openvpn.in/community-resources/openvpn-quickstart/ |
|||
| 80 | - Static-key will be deprecated, there's already a warning about that in OpenVPN if you use it. |
|||
| 81 | - plaisthos has a tutorial for peer fingerprint that will be much easier to use. It is at https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/blob/master/doc/man-sections/example-fingerprint.rst |
|||
| 82 | - novaflash will update this outdated page. |
|||
| 83 | ||||
