Added support for the Snappy compression algorithm which has shown to have considerably better compression speed than LZO at a comparable compression ratio. To enable Snappy add: compress snappy to both client and server config files. Alternatively, enable compression framing on the client: compress and have the server selectively push "compress snappy" to the client. This change also extends the client capability handshake to include IV_SNAPPY so the server can be aware that a connecting client supports Snappy. Note that the Snappy implementation also includes an improved framing approach where the first byte of the compressed payload is replaced by the compression control byte (the first payload byte is moved to the end of the packet). This solves off-by-one alignment issues, which improves performance on ARM. By default, the configure script will try to build with Snappy support. To disable, use the --disable-snappy option. The --enable-lzo-stub configure directive is now --enable-comp-stub (because it's not actually "lzo" but "compression-enabled packet framing") Add compression overhead to extra buffer unconditionally, as long as USE_COMP is defined.

OpenVPN Plugins
---------------
Starting with OpenVPN 2.0-beta17, compiled plugin modules are
supported on any *nix OS which includes libdl or on Windows.
One or more modules may be loaded into OpenVPN using
the --plugin directive, and each plugin module is capable of
intercepting any of the script callbacks which OpenVPN supports:
(1) up
(2) down
(3) route-up
(4) ipchange
(5) tls-verify
(6) auth-user-pass-verify
(7) client-connect
(8) client-disconnect
(9) learn-address
See the openvpn-plugin.h file in the top-level directory of the
OpenVPN source distribution for more detailed information
on the plugin interface.
Included Plugins
----------------
auth-pam -- Authenticate using PAM and a split privilege
execution model which functions even if
root privileges or the execution environment
have been altered with --user/--group/--chroot.
Tested on Linux only.
down-root -- Enable the running of down scripts with root privileges
even if --user/--group/--chroot have been used
to drop root privileges or change the execution
environment. Not applicable on Windows.
examples -- A simple example that demonstrates a portable
plugin, i.e. one which can be built for *nix
or Windows from the same source.
Building Plugins
----------------
cd to the top-level directory of a plugin, and use the
"make" command to build it. The examples plugin is
built using a build script, not a makefile.
