Open development tasks for OpenVPN

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

In planning

• ​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

Waiting for testing
