Meeting summary for 2 July 2025:
*
*New: cve.mitre.org deprecation notice*
The MITRE CVE site we are linking to for all CVE record references
has a deprecation notice.
Instead cve.org is being advised as the site to use from now on.
Suggestion from novaflash is to search/replace all links and update
them accordingly to go to the new site.
novaflash will make an internal company ticket to update links on
the main site.
and novaflash will search/replace things on community wiki to do the
same.
*
*New: minor issue on community.openvpn.net site*
While not causing critical issues, there are some cache related
issues caused by cloudflare.
This requires some finetuning of settings to solve issues like:
Logging in requires to use query string parameter to defeat cache.
Changes like enabling dark mode can linger in cache and affect other
visitors.
Sometimes pages added don't show in menu until cache is defeated in
some way.
The "are you human" screen is quite persistent and annoying, perhaps
it can be fixed.
novaflash is working with the company to look into finetuning the
cloudflare settings to address these issues.
*
*New: format code using clang formatting*
It seems prudent to do this before the real 2.7 release.
It was discussed and there's some additional work to be paid either
on reviewer or submitter side.
Strategy will be; get all code into beta1, collect bugfixes,
reformat everything, then beta2.
Collect more bugfixes and then do release 2.7.0 and branch it off
into its own release branch.
*
*Updated: Changes to community pages on main website*
Company has published the updated community
page:https://openvpn.net/community/
This design was created in collaboration with community members lev,
ordex, and novaflash.
If any changes are requested please relay them to novaflash as per
usual, and he will forward it internally.
*
*Updated: Release 2.7*
For the DNS related changes, the macOS DNS script is merged but
there's still some minor tweaks being made.
For multisocket, a bug report came in, and we're working to fix that.
For the DCO related changes, DCO+TCP is improving. Epoch data keys
still needs to be done, float has a patch ready for review, mssfix
not planned yet. For the live route updates changes, chances are
improving that it may get in to 2.7 after all.
*
*Updated: push_update / live route updates*
For client-side support, company did QA on it against the current
only server implementation (cloudconnexa) and it works as expected.
cron2 will put reviewing it on his to-do list.
Server-side support patch is up and requires review and is a bit
more involved, lev__ and company QA will work on it.
*
