| 738300 | novaflash | 2026-07-08 12:19:18 | 8 | - **Updated: DCO testing** |
| b9df05 | novaflash | 2026-07-08 14:15:00 | 9 | ralf implemented a test system for DCO kernel module. He added RHEL platforms as per discussion. |
| 738300 | novaflash | 2026-07-08 12:19:18 | 10 | This currently tests both ovpn-dco-v2 (for 2.6 and older openvpn) and ovpn-backports (for 2.7 and above). |
| 11 | We recently had an issue where Debian12 broke something for us in a small kernel update, we will now be able to spot this quickly. |

| 14 | - **New: CVE handling during holidays** |
|||
| 15 | Due to holidays, temporarily evaluation of CVE and assigning IDs is postponed. This will be for approximately 3 weeks. |
|||
| 16 | Reports will still be able to come in but determining if it's an actual CVE or not and assigning an ID will have to wait. |

| 22 | OpenVPN 2.7.5 and 2.6.21 will be released to address these, today. |
|||
| 23 | Some important fixes will also land in 2.5 branch but these are out of support so no official releases will be made for 2.5.x. |
|||
| 24 | There are more issues being reported and evaluated, as seems to be now the new standard with AI. |
|||
| 25 | A followup release is expected around 22 July 2026. |
|||
| 26 | ||||
| 27 | - **test latency and MTU in openvpn** |
|||
| 28 | A new feature is proposed for adding to master; ability to do latency and MTU tests in the OpenVPN protocol. |
|||
| 29 | Idea is to allow to do a 'best server selection' type of logic, in case there are multiple servers available to connect to. |
|||
| 30 | RFC PR is at https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-rfc/pull/30 and an early initial implementation is available from lev. |
