OpenVPN 1.5-beta13 released

Release notes:

The often-requested HTTP proxy feature
has been added to allow OpenVPN to connect
to its remote peer through an HTTP proxy
using the HTTP CONNECT method.
Basic HTTP authentication is supported as an
option.  For more info, see the --http-proxy
option.

The --redirect-gateway feature has been added
which redirects all IP traffic into the tunnel.

Many of the changes in this release involve
minor additions to the crypto layer.

The --secret and --tls-auth options now support
key directionality, where different keys
can be used for both data flow directions.

OpenVPN 1.5.0 Released

Hey, we did it -- OpenVPN 1.5.0 is here!

While pretty exciting, the change log is (as it should be) quite mundane from
1.5-beta14 to 1.5.0.  It's basically just a version number increment.

I've had some requests for more file release security.  I suppose the recent
incident where a trojan was nearly snuck into the Linux kernel is a wake-up
call.  Henceforth, all file releases will be signed by GnuPG.  See the "File
Signatures" section on the home page for more info.  I've pasted the public
key which will be used to sign file releases at the end of this message.  It
is also available on the web site.
