SUMMARY

andj, cron2, dazo, lev, mattock, plaisthos and syzzer participated in
this meeting.

- ---

Discussed the "--enable-password-save" option. Decided to enable the
feature by default and remove the associated #ifdef.

- --

Discussed the the peer-id patch (v7):

<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/9270>

The patch has received a fair share of review. However, as the patch
is fairly invasive it was decided to give James a chance to comment on
the latest incarnation. If he has no complaints in a few days the
patch will go in. As discussed earlier the full patch will go into
2.4. The client-side part of the patch will also go into 2.3 releases
for compatibility reasons.

Discussed OpenVPN 2.4 release. Some small pieces are still missing:

<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/9232>
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/9238>
<http://sourceforge.net/p/openvpn/mailman/message/32945354>
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/9222>
<https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/MunichHackathon2014>

+ stuff in Trac aimed at milestones 2.3.6 and 2.4
+ OpenVPN-GUI NSI installer

The biggest piece of code still missing from 2.4 is the Windows
interactive service:

<http://sourceforge.net/p/openvpn-gui/openvpn/ci/interactive_service/tree>

The IPv4 part of the service has been in production for some time, but
some IPv6 bits may be broken. In Munich we agreed that even if d12fk
(the author) does not have time to fix IPv6, somebody else will do it.
Samuli can help with testing the patch. Samuli will also make
experimental Windows builds with the Interactive Service so that the
patch gets the testing coverage it needs before the 2.4 release.

- ---

Discussed scrapping ENABLE_SSL as a separate option. We had asked
about this on openvpn-users and openvpn-devel and received no
response/objections. It seems that nobody cares, so out it goes.

Full chatlog is attached.
