This release fixes a critical denial of service vulnerability in OpenVPN

authenticated clients only. Also note that confidentiality and
authenticity of traffic are not affected. More information about this
vulnerability is available on the Trac Wiki:

This release also includes a few other fixes and enhancements.

The changelog is also attached to this email.

The 2.2 branch in Git has also been patched for the DoS vulnerability.
Fixed source packages (2.2.3) are also provided, primarily for the
benefit of OpenVPN package maintainers. Official Windows installers
based on 2.2.3 will not be released.
