This page provides links to pages containing information about new features, their scope, how to implement them etc.

= In planning =

 * [http://www.secure-computing.net/wiki/index.php/OpenVPN/Supporting_%22route-gateway_dhcp%22_on_non-Windows_platforms Supporting "route-gateway dhcp" on non-Windows platforms]]
 * Don't assert() on stream ciphers
   * http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/3286
   * The initial patch is not solving it in a good way.  It should rather check if  EVP_CIPH_STREAM_CIPHER is set, and then accept that outlen == 0.  Kind of doing the oposite of what the proposed patch does.
 * Move openvpn.8 man page over to DocBook, and let DocBook generate the man page.
   * Can this utility be useful? http://www.catb.org/~esr/doclifter/
 * Consider what to do with misleading errors
   * When using --user together with --route or getting routes pushed from server, a non-critical error is logged when shutting down OpenVPN (f.ex. "ERROR: Linux route delete command failed: shell command exited with error status: 2")
   * Should this error be muted or be mutable when --user is used?
 * Better capture and integrate messages sent to stdout/stderr from external scripts in OpenVPN logs
 * Review Windows code in OpenVPN
   * Some places calloc() is used.  Should be changed to the gc_arena API
   * Do we really need the dummy() functions all around?  If we do, document it in the code ''why'' we need it.
