Topics

• Updated, closed: community.openvpn.net wiki
  On May 12 around 14:30 CET the community wiki was switched to the new wiki.
  It is expected that there may be some dead links or some content missing, we will work to update links and add content as needed/reported.
  lev__ and d12fk were added as users to the wiki during the meeting.
  Since all seems to be working so far this topic can be closed.

• Updated, closed: 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.

• Updated: Release 2.7
  Current estimates are to have all major code items in by May 1st and then a release on July 1st.
  We may try for an alpha release next week if possible.
  Together with 2.7 a new DCO module based on upstreamed (linux kernel) codebase will be released, the code for this is done, bugs being fixed.
  Only module versioning is in the works for DCO and this is expected to be done soonish.
  For Windows things look really good - auto-creation of adapters, wintun removal. Some small items for DNS pending.
  DNS looks promising, some very minor fixes left to get unix support and some bugfixes.

• Updated: data format v3 / epoch data keys
  Implementation in user space in OpenVPN2 and OpenVPN3 are both done now.
  Developing support for epoch data keys in DCO Linux was waiting for linux upstreaming. That is now done, so development can start.
  Developing support for epoch data keys in DCO Windows is unblocked - to be picked up by lev when he is able.
