* **New: 2.6.x release**  
  Some security fixes recently released in 2.7.7 didn't apply cleanly to 2.6.x.  
  Backporting it to 2.6 is ongoing, exact release date of that is not yet known.  
  
* **Updated: 2.7.x release**  
  Version 2.7.7 went out last week and contains some security fixes and bugfixes.  
  We however were not able to address all reported issues in one go, and we didn't want to hold back releasing to get it all in.  
  The next 2.7.x release, version 2.7.8, is planned for 3 weeks from now.  

- **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.  
  This would allow for a client to for example select the best available server based on test results.  
  This is currently under review: https://gerrit.openvpn.net/q/topic:%22oob-server-probe%22
