Meeting summary for 26 June 2024:
* *New: release openvpn 2.6.12*
/The security issue addressed in 2.6.11 has the known issue that it
breaks certain setups with backend scripts that produce custom
auth_failed messages./
/This will be addressed in the upcoming 2.6.12 release./
/An improvement in the area of the LZO library is also in the works./
* *Updated: release openvpn 2.6.11*
/This release was done last week on June 20th./
/We have a fix for a reported issue with localized versions of
Windows and a custom installation path of OpenVPN GUI. Looks like we
can update to I002 for the Windows installer./
/This will likely go out today./
/The tunnelcrack mitigations for Windows are held back because we
have had absolutely no response on the mailing lists for testing
these and confirming that it doesn't break things./
/If someone can contribute to testing this we can follow up with a
2.6.12 release in a few weeks that contains the tunnelcrack
mitigations for Windows. Otherwise it goes to 2.7./
* *Updated: DCO and Linux upstreaming, API change*/
/Upstreaming DCO to Linux is proceeding, it is in review stage at
the moment./
/ordex has sent in*patchset version 4*./
/There will be an API change that makes it incompatible with the
current implementation./
/A graceful solution to that was already discussed and in motion.
giaan will be working on this./
/(in a nutshell, make OpenVPN understand old and new API, DKMS and
kernel versions both will then use new API, then we drop old API)//
* *Updated: Tunnelcrack progressTunnelCrack community wiki article
