The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.6.8.
This is a small bugfix release fixing a few regressions in 2.6.7 release.
User visible changes:
* Windows: print warning if pushed options require DHCP (e.g. DOMAIN-SEARCH)
and driver in use does not use DHCP (wintun, dco).
Bug fixes:
* SIGSEGV crash: Do not check key_state buffers that are in S_UNDEF state
(Github #449) - the new sanity check function introduced in 2.6.7 sometimes
tried to use a NULL pointer after an unsuccessful TLS handshake
* Windows: --dns option did not work when tap-windows6 driver was used, because
internal flag for "apply DNS option to DHCP server" wasn't set (Github #447)
* Windows: fix status/log file permissions, caused by regression after changing
to CMake build system (Github: #454, Trac: #1430)
* Windows: fix --chdir failures, also caused by error in CMake build system
(Github #448)
Windows MSI changes since 2.6.7:
* Included openvpn-gui updated to 11.46.0.0
