Rollbacks are not as simple as before (during upgrade a backup of original database files will still be made, as per usual, so it’s still possible to roll back). - A first phase implementation of a clustering feature for Access Server is now implemented as an option. - Multiple access servers can be setup that share the same user database and settings, and users can connect to any of the nodes in the cluster. - Updated the admin UI further with a modern look. - Removed the ‘connect’ functionality from the client web interface, because it can no longer be supported in current browsers. - Added a session-token sharing function so clients connected to a cluster can automatically switch to a next available node in case of a problem. - Updated the Connect Client for Windows and macOS with session-token sharing functionality. - The Windows Connect Client has been signed with a new software publisher certificate as the old one had expired. - DNS server detection in the operating system Ubuntu 18 was broken, this has now been fixed in this release. - Making changes in the search results of User Permissions is now working properly in this release. - The default settings for a fresh installation of Access Server is now to listen to all interfaces, but can still be changed to listen to specific interface. - Fixed a regression where the WINS server fields in Advanced VPN were missing. - PyOpenSSL, PyRad, and other libraries were updated to modern versions. - mbedTLS (previously known as PolarSSL) support was dropped in Access Server. Clients can still use it, but the server now relies on just OpenSSL again. - Builds for Debian 7 have been dropped because that operating system is no longer in support. - An issue related VPN connectivity from a Windows/macOS client in combination with Google Authenticator and/or LDAP was fixed. --- Prev: [Access Server 2.8](https://openvpn.net/as-docs/as-2-8-release-notes.md) Next: [Access Server 2.6](https://openvpn.net/as-docs/as-2-6-release-notes.md) Index: https://openvpn.net/as-docs/llms.txt
