Thanks, Johan, for these meeting summaries. They're very helpful. Can anyone make a ( non-binding : ) guess about the timing of the 2.6.18 release and/or the 2.7 release?
OpenSSL just released an update and I'd like to do a Tunnelblick release soon (within the next few days) but if 2.2.18 and/or 2.7 are also coming "soon" I might wait and include it/them, too.
