| | 3 | This page shows the high-level status of OpenVPN 2.5 release. If you want all the details, see the [report:3 Active Tickets by Milestone] report. |

| | 5 | = Schedule = |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | * October 7 - Feature selection |
| | 8 | At the hackathon in Lviv, we'll decide which features we want for 2.5. After that, we can start planning the steps below. |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | * ??? - 2.5_beta1 |
| | 11 | After this date, no new features allowed, stabilising starts for real. Some minor "nice to have patches" might be accepted after evaluation/discussion on IRC. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | * (optional) ??? - 2.5_beta2 |
| | 14 | Only patches related to stabilising and important bug-fixes are allowed after this point. No more "nice to have patches" after this point. If we have no |
| | 15 | bug fixes or otherwise stabilizing code this release can be skipped. |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | * ??? - 2.5_rc1 |
| | 18 | Only really needed and critical bug fixes allowed. |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | * ??? - 2.5_rc2 |
| | 21 | Branching out release/2.5 happens here. |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | * ??? - 2.5.0 |
| | 24 | Final release. |
