Updated: 2.7.6 and 2.6.22 release
Last week 2.7.6 and 2.6.22 were released with some security fixes.
There are also some security fixes backported to 2.5 but that branch does not have official releases anymore (out of support).
cron2 mentioned we might prepare for another release in about 3 weeks as there are still further small fixes to come.
Updated: Amount of open changes in the queue
This is also a discussion topic for the community meeting but we can look into addressing things here as well.
see e.g. 1776: Start a new document CODE_CHECKLIST in Gerrit.
lev__ said he would contribute some time to doing reviews.
There are also other colleagues from OpenVPN Inc interested in participating in the community.
But reviews alone don't help if the bottleneck is cron2 not having time dedicated to testing/merging.
OpenVPN Inc. is willing to contribute by paying cron2 to do community work - details to be figured out.

Updated: test latency and MTU in openvpn
A new feature is proposed for adding to master; ability to do latency and MTU tests in the OpenVPN protocol.
Idea is to allow to do a 'best server selection' type of logic, in case there are multiple servers available to connect to.
RFC PR is at https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-rfc/pull/30 and an early initial implementation is available from lev.
What's needed is a community member's review and ralf_lici did so and provided some comments.
