| 31d22f | novaflash | 2026-01-14 13:10:39 | 8 | - **Updated: Release 2.7** |
| 9 | Stable release is near but there were some last minute bug fixes including a security fix. |
|||
| 10 | We decided instead of releasing a stable version today, to go for one more release candidate, RC5. |
|||
| 11 | OpenVPN 2.7rc5 is intended to be released tomorrow. |
|||
| 0faaa3 | novaflash | 2026-01-14 13:33:50 | 12 | The stable release will follow after that within a few weeks or so, most likely around 28 January. |
| 13 | ||||
| 14 | - **New: Release 2.6.18** |
|||
| 15 | A small bugfix release will be coming soon. |

| b30332 | novaflash | 2026-01-14 12:54:07 | 18 | Eduardo from website team is currently working on the forums. |
| 0faaa3 | novaflash | 2026-01-14 13:33:50 | 19 | Due to holidays this was on hold for a bit but we're back on it now. |
| 20 | Most things work now, there are some inconveniences that will require manual intervention like removing spam posts and handling duplicate account issues. |
|||
| 21 | We will continue to work on it and test it and make it ready for a big switch. |
|||
| 22 | ||||
| 23 | - **Updated: mbedtls support** |
|||
| 24 | The old mbedtls2 is EOL so that was removed as per 2.7rc4. |
|||
| 25 | mbedtls3 support is currently in 2.7rc4 and will be in 2.7.0. |
|||
| 26 | That version of mbedtls (3.6 LTS release) is still supported until March 2027 at least. |
|||
| 27 | The plan is to get to mbedtls4 implementation in OpenVPN 2.7 in some version after 2.7.0. |
