Hi all,

* vpn-user-portal: 2.3.10 [1]
* vpn-ca: 3.2.0 [2]

This release includes support for having the VPN session expire in the 
middle of the night. This allows you to (automatically) avoid VPN 
sessions terminating during the regular work day. Please provide 
feedback if you have any! Check out the documentation on how to enable 
it [3].

The vpn-ca project allows you now to expire the CA at any moment in the 
future. By default the expiry is 5 years, which may be a bit too short 
for some situations. Now you are able to manually! generate a CA that 
expires later, e.g. after 10 years. I'll send out another mail shortly 
for a case where a server already ran into trouble even though eduVPN 
2.x is only 2 years old.

As usual, let us know if you have any feedback, questions, remarks!

NOTE: on CentOS and Fedora these updates will require you to install the 
new key as indicated in a previous announcement [4].

Regards,
François
