The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN =
2.7_beta1.
This is the first Beta release for the feature release 2.7.0. As the =
Beta name implies=20
this is an early release build, it is not intended for production use.

Feature changes since 2.7_alpha3:

- Introduction of route_redirect_gateway_ipv4 and _ipv6 env variables
- PUSH_UPDATE server support (via management interface)
- Rewrite of the management interface "bytecount" infastructure to =
better interact with DCO

Important bug fixes since 2.7_alpha3:

- Bugfixes in --dns-updown script for linux systems using resolvconf
- A large number of signed/unsigned related warnings have been fixed

The biggest noticeable difference in beta1 is the reformatting using
clang-format, leaving uncrustify as that wasn't stable across versions.

More details can be found in the Changes document:

<https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/blob/master/Changes.rst>

Source code and Windows installers can be downloaded from our download =
page:

Packages for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL, and openSUSE are available in =
the various
official Community repositories:

Kind regards,
