https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/releases/tag/v2.7.0
Servers keep working fine, just like they did with the RC diffs I tested.
I'm happy to see the multi-socket support land, which is great for dual-stack.
On OpenBSD clients I noticed it now messes with resolv.conf, i.e. duplicate
lines show up. Easiest way seems to disable the hook by default (until
someone makes it use route(8) nameserver, I guess).
patches/ hunks are just churn.
Feedback? OK?
