- **Updated: Release 2.7**
16
OpenVPN 2.7rc5 was released 15 January.
17
The stable release 2.7.0 is currently planned for 28 January.
18
Possible caveat - we did receive a security report very recently that hasn't been evaluated yet, so it might delay the release a bit if it's real.

- **Updated: mbedtls support**
21
The plan is to get to mbedtls4 implementation in OpenVPN 2.7 in some version after 2.7.0.
22
In ongoing work MaxF reports that --dh is not possible/needed with mbedtls, so will come up with some solution for users with configs that have it.

Eduardo from website team is currently working on the forums.

Due to holidays this was on hold for a bit but we're back on it now.
30
Most things work now, there are some inconveniences that will require manual intervention like removing spam posts and handling duplicate account issues.
31
We will continue to work on it and test it and make it ready for a big switch.
