Version 2.4.0
=============
New features
------------
keying-material-exporter
Keying Material Exporter [RFC-5705] allow additional keying material to be
derived from existing TLS channel.
redirect-gateway ipv6
OpenVPN has now feature parity between IPv4 and IPv6 for redirect
gateway including the handling of overlapping IPv6 routes with
IPv6 remote VPN server address
Mac OS X Keychain management client
add contrib/keychain-mcd which allows to use Mac OS X keychain
certificates with OpenVPN
Peer ID support
Added new packet format P_DATA_V2, which includes peer-id. If
server and client support it, client sends all data packets in
the new format. When data packet arrives, server identifies peer
by peer-id. If peer's ip/port has changed, server assumes that
client has floated, verifies HMAC and updates ip/port in internal structs.
Dualstack client connect
Instead of only using the first address of each --remote OpenVPN
will now try all addresses (IPv6 and IPv4) of a --remote entry.
LZ4 Compression
Additionally to LZO compression OpenVPN now also supports LZ4
compression.
Windows version
Windows version is detected, logged and possibly signalled to server
(IV_PLAT_VER=<nn> if --push-peer-info is set on client)
User-visible Changes
--------------------
- For certificate DNs with duplicate fields, e.g. "OU=one,OU=two", both fields
are now exported to the environment, where each second and later occurrence
of a field get _$N appended to it's field name, starting at N=1. For the
example above, that would result in e.g. X509_0_OU=one, X509_0_OU_1=two.
Note that this breaks setups that rely on the fact that OpenVPN would
previously (incorrectly) only export the last occurence of a field.
- proto udp and proto tcp specify to use IPv4 and IPv6. The new
options proto udp4 and tcp4 specify to use IPv4 only.
- connect-timeout specifies now the timeout until the first TLS packet
is received (identical to server-poll-timeout) and this timeout now
includes the removed socks proxy timeout and http proxy timeout.
In --static mode connect-timeout specifies the timeout for TCP and
proxy connection establishment
- connect-retry now specifies the maximum number of unsucessfully
trying all remote/connection entries before exiting.
- sndbuf and recvbuf default now to OS default instead of 64k
- OpenVPN exits with an error if an option has extra parameters;
previously they were silently ignored
- The default of tls-cipher is now "DEFAULT:!EXP:!PSK:!SRP:!kRSA"
instead of "DEFAULT" to always select perfect forward security
cipher suites
- --tls-auth always requires OpenVPN static key files and will no
longer work with free form files
- proto udp6/tcp6 in server mode will now try to always listen to
both IPv4 and IPv6 on platforms that allow it. Use bind ipv6only
to explicitly listen only on IPv6.
- Removed --enable-password-save from configure. This option is now
always enabled.
Maintainer-visible changes
--------------------------
- OpenVPN no longer supports building with crypto support, but without TLS
support. As a consequence, OPENSSL_CRYPTO_{CFLAGS,LIBS} and
OPENSSL_SSL_{CFLAGS,LIBS} have been merged into OPENSSL_{CFLAGS,LIBS}. This
is particularly relevant for maintainers who build their own OpenSSL library,
e.g. when cross-compiling.
