The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN
2.3_alpha2. It can be downloaded from here:

<http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html>

The largest change in OpenVPN 2.3_alpha2 is the split into several
subprojects (thanks go to Alon Bar-Lev):

- openvpn (the core project)
- tap-windows (Windows TAP-driver)
- easy-rsa (PKI management package)
- openvpn-build (external buildsystem)
  - "generic": cross-compile on *NIX platforms (e.g. Linux -> Windows)
  - "msvc": build using MSVC on Windows
  - "windows-nsis": generate Windows installers on *NIX

These changes have resulted in a number of user-visible changes:

- Separate 32- and 64-bit installers for Windows (see INSTALL-win32.txt)
- Old "domake-win" and Python-based buildsystems have been removed
- "easy-rsa" and "tap-windows" removed from the OpenVPN Git tree
- All Windows executables and libraries cross-compiled with mingw_w64
and signed
- Rewrite of the openvpn autotools buildsystem

In addition, there a number of changes not related to the above:

- Many bugfixes
- Stabilized the PolarSSL support
- Enabled IPv6 support on OSX
- General code cleanup
- Improved UTF-8 support in Windows

Note that a few changes have been made which may affect existing
installations. A list of new features and the changelog are available her=
