Release Notes¶

Please review these changes carefully - many properties and defaults have changed which may impact connectivity. While breaking changes are generally avoided, the goals of this release necessitated some significant changes. Those goals were: utilize modern BOSH features, encourage secure defaults, avoid duplicating features, and simplify configuration requirements.

Breaking Changes

properties are no longer prefixed with openvpn namespace
the openvpn job will no longer act as a client (see the new openvpn-client job)
the openvpn job improves security defaults (either explicitly use older values, or upgrade clients as necessary)
- cipher is now AES-256-CBC (this must be in sync with clients; previous default BF-CBC)
- tls_version_min is now 1.2 (requires clients 2.3.3+; previous default 1.0)
custom iptables rules are no longer managed (use the iptables job of networking release instead)
server and client certificates are now configured with the tls_server and tls_client properties, respectively (previously via ca_crt, certificate, and private_key properties)
certificate revocation lists for openvpn are now configured with the tls_crl property (previously via crl_pem property)

New Features

UDP is now supported (see protocol property of openvpn)
the openvpn compress option is now supported (see compress property of openvpn)
the openvpn tls-crypt option is now supported (see tls_crypt property of openvpn)
new extra_configs property of openvpn and openvpn-client (similar to extra_config, but accepts an array of openvpn directives)
new device property is now supported for explicit virtual network device usage
certificate-related properties can now be dynamically generated

Development & Tooling

git version tags now refer to the commit a release was created from (previously the commit which finalized the release was used)
