- **Updated: Release 2.7**  
  We planned for an alpha3 this week but decided to postpone because for DCO and push_update we have some fixes coming in.  
  Float with DCO on Linux and Windows is now in and working. FreeBSD patch is in review.  
  For multisocket the reported bug when peer IDs collide is now in.  
  For the DCO related changes, DCO+TCP is improving. Epoch data keys still needs to be done, mssfix not planned yet.  
  For DCO Windows driver there's some small bugfixes that can go out with alpha3.
  Let's see how reviewing and merging the pending items goes and then see if by next week an alpha3 can be made.  

- **Updated: push_update / live route updates**  
  For client-side support, company did QA on it against the current only server implementation (cloudconnexa) and it works as expected.  
  For server-side support, company did QA on it with openvpn2 but found some missing features that are being added now.  
  At least client-side support will probably make it into alpha3.  

- **format code using clang formatting**  
  It seems prudent to do this before the real 2.7 release.  
  It was discussed and there's some additional work to be paid either on reviewer or submitter side.  
  Strategy will be; get all code into beta1, collect bugfixes, reformat everything, then beta2.  
  Collect more bugfixes and then do release 2.7.0 and branch it off into its own release branch.  

 - **cve.mitre.org deprecation notice**  
   The MITRE CVE site we are linking to for all CVE record references has a deprecation notice. Instead cve.org is being advised as the site to use from now on.  
   novaflash made an internal company ticket to update links on the main site.  
   novaflash search/replaced all the CVE links on community wiki to the new address.
