IRC community meeting summary

Meeting summary for 12 August 2026:

  *

    *Updated: 2.7.6 and 2.6.22 release*
    Last week 2.7.6 and 2.6.22 were released with some security fixes.
    There are also some security fixes backported to 2.5 but that branch
    does not have official releases anymore (out of support).
    cron2 mentioned we might prepare for another release in about 3
    weeks as there are still further small fixes to come.

  *

    *Updated: Amount of open changes in the queue*
    This is also a discussion topic for the community meeting but we can
    look into addressing things here as well.
    see e.g.1776: Start a new document CODE_CHECKLIST
    <https://gerrit.openvpn.net/c/openvpn/+/1776>in Gerrit.
    lev__ said he would contribute some time to doing reviews.
    There are also other colleagues from OpenVPN Inc interested in
    participating in the community.
    But reviews alone don't help if the bottleneck is cron2 not having
    time dedicated to testing/merging.
    OpenVPN Inc. is willing to contribute by paying cron2 to do
    community work - details to be figured out.

  * *Updated: test latency and MTU in openvpn*
    A new feature is proposed for adding to master; ability to do
    latency and MTU tests in the OpenVPN protocol.
    Idea is to allow to do a 'best server selection' type of logic, in
    case there are multiple servers available to connect to.
    RFC PR is athttps://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-rfc/pull/30and an
    early initial implementation is available from lev.
    What's needed is a community member's review and ralf_lici did so
    and provided some comments.

As always you're welcome to join at #openvpn-meeting on Libera IRC 
network every Wednesday at 14:00 Central European Time.

Kind regards,
Johan Draaisma
