Hi Jason!

Thank you for bringing this up again!  It most definitely have fallen
out of our radar for a little while again.  I'll make sure to put this
into a Trac ticket so that we won't forget it so easily again.

Having that said, this feature change will most probably not hit the 2.2
release *unless* somebody is able to bring in a patch to the mailing
list soon enough to get it reviewed and accepted into the -testing tree.
 We've just recently put together the beta2.2 branch (and I will need to
redo the branch once more, unfortunately) so _no doors are closed yet_.
 But I really hope we can reach an release candidate long before the end
of this year, this is the point were we most probably will put a strict
feature change policy.

You might be worried that this fix might not come before 2.3, and be
even more worried when that release will come.  I can assure you that I
will work hard for getting the release process going quicker *without*
jeopardising the stability OpenVPN does have.

OpenVPN is one of those few remarkable pieces of software where not
everything might work as expected - but despite that, OpenVPN is really
rock solid and reliable.  This is not something we can or will
sacrifice.  Stability is our primary goal.

But after all ... *We can use your help* ... So whom ever have
possibility to write some code, review code, test our -testing tree ...
*Please* raise your hand on the mailinglist or join the #openvpn-devel
meetings[1] and tell us how you would like help out!  With even more
participation from even more people, we can get the release cycle going
smoother - and hopefully much quicker.


kind regards,

David Sommerseth
