In openvpn 2.3.0 the semantics of the --tls-remote option changed. That broke more configurations than anticipated. To not break configurations that use --tls-remote with a legacy OpenSSL style DN anymore, it is now detected when such a DN is configured. When necessary the --compat-names option is then automatically enabled.
