The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.7_alpha1.
This is the first Alpha release for the feature release 2.7.0.
As the "Alpha" name implies this is an early release build, this is not intended
for production use.
Highlights of this release include:
* Multi-socket support for servers -- Handle multiple addresses/ports/protocols
within one server
* Improved Client support for DNS options
* Client implementations for Linux/BSD, included with the default install
* New client implementation for Windows, adding support for features like
split
DNS and DNSSEC
* Architectural improvements on Windows
* The block-local flag is now enforced with WFP filters
* Windows network adapters are now generated on demand
* Windows automatic service now runs as an unprivileged user
* Support for server mode in win-dco driver
* Note: Support for the wintun driver has been removed.
win-dco is now the default, tap-windows6 is the fallback solution for
use-cases not covered by win-dco.
* Improved data channel
* Enforcement of AES-GCM usage limit
* Epoch data keys and packet format
* Support for new upstream DCO Linux kernel module
* This release supports the new ovpn DCO Linux kernel module which will be
available in future upstream Linux kernel releases. Backports of the new
module to current kernels are available via the ovpn-backports project.
