The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.7_rc1.
This is a first release candidate for the feature release 2.7.0 which includes
improvements and bug fixes.
Feature changes since 2.7_beta3:
* add warning for unsupported combination of --push and --tls-server
* add warning for unsupported combination of --reneg-bytes or --reneg-pkts with
DCO
* remove perf_push()/perf_pop() infrastructure (because it did not work
anymore, and compiler profiling will give
better results today)
* ensure compatibility with OpenSSL 3.6.0 - specifically, do not crash in
t_lpback.sh trying to use
new encrypt-then-mac (ETM) ciphers
* improved PUSH_UPDATE server side support, which now handles changes of pushed
ifconfig/ifconfig-ipv6 addresses
correctly (send packets to new IP addresses to this client, stop sending
packets to the old addresses).
* freshen URLs all over the tree, and change to HTTPS where possible
* on DCO Linux/FreeBSD, add support for clients receiving an IPv4/IPv6 address
that is not part of
the --server/--server-ipv6 subnet (= install extra on-interface host routes).
* Windows programs use a new API for path name canonicalization now
(PathCchCanonicalizeEx()) which will break building
with MinGW on Ubuntu 22.04 -> Upgrade to 24.04 to make builds work again.
* on Windows, when setting up WINS servers using netsh, use interface index
instead of adapter name now
("as for all other netsh calls")
* remove undocumented and unused --memstats feature
Important bug fixes since 2.7_beta3:
* even more type conversion related warnings have been fixed
* more bugfixes related to BYTECOUNT display on the management interface and
byte counters on DCO platforms in general
* numerous minibugs reported by ZeroPath AI have been fixed (small memleaks,
possible file descriptor leaks,
improved sanity checks, add ASSERT() on function contracts, etc.)
