Introduction

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 (link?)
• 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
