| 25 | # Backlog |
|||
| 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 | This would allow for a client to for example select the best available server based on test results. |
|||
| 30 | This is currently under review: https://gerrit.openvpn.net/q/topic:%22oob-server-probe%22 |
|||
| 31 | The design document is here: https://github.com/lstipakov/openvpn/blob/server-probe-design/design-server-probe.md |
|||
| 32 | ||||
| 33 | - **2.7 security audit** |
|||
| 34 | The security audit was completed for 2.7.0 and results are available internally. |
|||
| 35 | We are working to publish this in an official blog post. ordex and novaflash are driving this in OpenVPN Inc. internally. |
|||
| 36 | ||||
| 37 | * **Coordinating big changes** |
|||
| 38 | A related discussion is how to handle big changesets (e.g. currently the multipeer changes from plaisthos and the |
|||
| 39 | oob changes from lev). There was some unhappiness that these changesets are dropped without sufficient context and |
|||
| 40 | that makes it hard to keep track of all the developments. One advise is that developers that want to have big (or many) |
|||
| 41 | changes merged are encouraged to write a mail to the mailing list to provide a "cover letter" for the patch set and |
|||
| 42 | a convenient place to discuss the overall direction without getting bogged down in the discussion of individual changes. |
|||
| 43 | We have lost this practice since not generally using mail-based patchsets anymore. That can be also a good opportunity |
|||
| 44 | to point out dicussions happening in PRs for the RFC document. |
