8e4565 novaflash 2025-08-27 12:43:40 13
lev is working on broken "bytecount" functionality when using Windows DCO in server mode.
14
Epoch data keys for Linux DCO and Windows DCO can be done in a minor release after 2.7.0.
15
However ralf_lici is already looking into adding it into the Linux DCO right now.

- **New: wolfSSL license changed from gplv2 to gplv3**
20
The release notes of wolfSSL indicate the license changed to GPLv3.
21
This basically makes wolfSSL incompatible in regards to licensing with OpenVPN.
22
plaisthos will open an issue with them to either remove OpenVPN support or give a solution to remain licensing compatible.

maxf has reached out to wolfSSL about this, and will wait a bit before adding a warning to README.wolfssl about this licensing incompatibility.

- **push_update / live route updates**
41
Client-side support for push_update is now merged.
42
For server-side support, company did QA on it with openvpn2 but found some missing features that are being added now.
43
Client-side support made it into alpha3.
44
45
- **format code using clang formatting**
46
It seems prudent to do this before the real 2.7 release.
47
It was discussed and there's some additional work to be paid either on reviewer or submitter side.
48
Strategy will be; get all code into beta1, collect bugfixes, reformat everything, then beta2.
49
Collect more bugfixes and then do release 2.7.0 and branch it off into its own release branch.

- **cve.mitre.org deprecation notice**

novaflash made an internal company ticket to update links on the main site.
