Hi,

The OpenVPN 3 Linux v9 beta is now released.

This is available in our git repositories [0] and URLs for source tarballs
are listed later in this e-mail.  We have pre-built binaries for the
following Linux distributions:

    * Fedora 30, 31 and 32         (via Fedora Copr: x86_64, aarch64)
    * RHEL/CentOS 7 and 8          (via Fedora Copr: x86_64, aarch64)
    * Debian 9 and 10 (amd64)
    * Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 19.10 and 20.04 (amd64)

Ubuntu 19.04 is no longer supported upstream, so we do no longer provide
builds for this disitribution version.

Normally we also have Fedora Rawhide builds available, but there are some
issues with the Fedora Rawhide images so it is currently not possible to
provide these builds there yet.  This may change in coming days.

A quick-start guide for OpenVPN 3 Linux can be found here:

    <https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/OpenVPN3Linux>


The highlights of this release includes:

* Feature: AWS VPC add-on service (openvpn3-addon-aws package) which
  can be configured on EC2 Linux hosts deployed inside an AWS Virtual
  Private Cloud (VPC).  This allows the host running an OpenVPN 3 Linux
  client with this service configured to act as a proper VPN gateway
  for hosts inside the VPC.  The AWS service will update the VPC
  configuration dynamically, adding and removing routes pushed to the
  VPN client.  The openvpn3-service-aws(8) man page contains the
  configuration details.

* Bugfix: openvpn3 session-manage --restart and --resume
  modes would not respond to re-authentication requests required by the
  VPN server

* Bugfix: openvpn3 session-start and openvpn3 session-manage
  commands would not handle CTRL-C (SIGINT) situations properly during
  the connect phase to the remote server or when asking for user input.
  Prior releases would just leave the VPN session running in the
  background.  To get rid of these background sessions the user had
  to also use openvpn3 session-manage --disconnect to really stop
  these lingering sessions.  With this update, interrupting the
  openvpn3 session-start and openvpn3 session-manage operations
  during the connect phase or when acquiring user input, will result
  in the running VPN session will be properly shutdown.

* SELinux: The policy file needed on hosts with SELinux enabled has
  been relocated to a more proper location for such extensions, moving
  it out of /etc/openvpn3/selinux.  A slightly modified version
  of this SELinux policy has also been accepted for inclusion in the
  upstream SELinux reference policy project.  Packagers needs to
  ensure this policy is not shipped on distributions with a recent
  enough reference policy.  See the GitHub pull-request #209 [1] in
  the SELinux reference policy project for details.
