This is a new stable release with some major new features.

See CHANGES.rst. * DCO driver is now included as a installer module (msm) so that other products (like OpenVPN Connect) can share the DCO installation.

(2.6.0-I001 vs. 2.6.0-I002 vs. 2.6.0-I003) https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/ gives a download link to 2.6.0-I001 https://build.openvpn.net/downloads/rel ... LATEST.txt mentions version 2.6.0-I002 https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Downloads gives a download link to 2.6.0-I003 I assume it would make sense that all 3 locations link to the same (latest) installer version.

OpenVPN 2.6 in Ubuntu repo (https://build.openvpn.net/) build without DCO. openvpn --version shown enable_dco=no build option.

I read somewhere it fails to auth on TLS if the certificate last longer than 400 odd days, is that correct as our cert is valid for another 3 or 4 years which might explain it. I've had to ask all our users to manually uninstall and install the 2.5.8 version to get it working again.
