This page includes plans and missing parts for 2.3 releases starting from 2.3-alpha2.

= 2.3-alpha2 =

A few patches are still missing from this release:

 * https://github.com/alonbl/openvpn/tree/build
 * https://github.com/alonbl/openvpn/tree/unicode
 * https://github.com/alonbl/openvpn/tree/plugins2
 * https://github.com/alonbl/openvpn/tree/syshead
  * alonbl: "I think it is important to add the syshead to 2.3, trivial changes which will make our life easier."
  * dazo: "I don't think we should do the syshead stuff in 2.3 ... that's changing too much code for stabilisation" -> postponing to 2.4

openvpn-gui patches

 * https://github.com/alonbl/openvpn-gui/tree/build
  * d12fk: "i still have to test if syntax highlighting is broken with the .rch extension until then I will leave it out." -> postponing...

= 2.3-rc =

This release should not see any major code/behavioral modifications. List of tasks:

 * Ask Coverity to update their OpenVPN source tree and fix any problems the Coverity Scan (static analysis) finds

= 2.3-release =

List of tasks:

 * Get separate Windows code-signing keys for the OSS project
 * Get James' signatures to community members' GPG keys
 * Integrate connectivity tests to buildslaves

= 2.3.3 =

These fixes should go into 2.3.3:

 * ~~The chroot issue [http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/7873  PATCH: Fix file access checks when using --chroot]~~ **done**
 * TLS versioning patch
  * This is already in the 2.3.x tree, because it's important for long-term compatibility
  * However, we can't release 2.3.3 before the new iOS client is in the Apple Appstore, because that client will break if the server has this patch --**done**  (and iOS OpenVPN 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 connect to --master perfectly well)
 * ~~trac #349 (push-continue not working)~~ **done**
 * trac #327 (multihome not working on FreeBSD, should be fairly trivial)
 * trac #55 (--route not working on the server side if used together with --topology subnet) - at least verify that this is still an issue
 * trac #141 (ipv6 reconfiguration fails on linux if 'dev tun0' is used and that existed previously)
 * other open bugs from trac?
 * --block-ipv6 patch from cron2 for 2.3 code base
