there's quite an interesting patchset
https://patchwork.openvpn.net/project/openvpn2/list/?series=230
is it scheduled for 2.5 release ?

or I've missed something and all patches are scheduled for 2.5 ?

> OpenVPN 2.5 MSI looks surprisingly good. Mattock was able to produce
> tap-windows6 MSM ("merge module") which he then used to produce OpenVPN
> 2.5-based MSI installer. The only significant challenge is adding
> code-signing support to openvpn-build/generic.
>
> Automating MSI builds also seems easier than expected, given that the
> existing openvpn-build buildslave can perform the actual build and push
> the artifacts to the Windows packager, which can then build and push the
> results to build.openvpn.net.
>
> Code-vise 2.5-alpha1 is in a good shape, mainly missing
>
> - compression
> - async cc
> - VRF (which is quite trivial)
>
> The auth-token fixes are corner-cases and it was agreed that that can be
> resolved between 2.5-alpha1 and 2.5-beta1.

> Talked about moving 2.3 into "oldstable" support mode. Previously we had
> agreed to do that when 2.3.19 was released. However, 2.3.18 was released
> a long while ago and there's nothing queued for 2.3.19. So it was
> decided to move 2.3 to "oldstable" now instead of later.

> Talked about starting the deprecation of "--ncp-disable". The idea is
> that --ncp-disable has been mostly a debug feature and as we move
> forward and want to be able to manage VPN security more from server
> side, we want to abandon the possibility to ignore NCP.

> Talked about OpenVPN 2.6. There are several things that are 2.6 material:
>
> - Kernel acceleration module (client-side only beta ~next week)
> - Work related to "making DNS handling nice"
>
> It is possible that we'd also need to postpone the --ncp-disable and
> --cipher changes.
>
> However, it was agreed that doing a "quick" 2.6 release in, say, early
> 2021 is doable. It was also agreed that supporting both 2.5 and 2.6 as
> "stable" for a while would be acceptable, as the changes would be mostly
> in OpenVPN and the same release and automation tooling could be used for
> both.

> Talked about our use of IV_*. Agreed that rather than having tons of
> IV_FOO=1 options IV_PROTO should be considered a wire-protocol-only
> 64-bit mask field and IV_FEAT would be a new 64-bit mask field
> indicating which features the local side supports.
>
> OpenVPN will need to handle a remote side not providing IV_FEAT.
> Default behaviour when this field is missing must be documented.
> IV_FEAT should be sent by OpenVPN 2.6 and newer. This approach allows
> easier deprecation of features as well.
