+ The ``--memstats`` option was largely undocumented and there is no known
user of this feature. This feature provided very limited statistics
(number of users, link bytes read/written) and we do not except any
usage because of this.
By default ``--topology`` is pushed from server to client.

- ``--dh none`` is now the default if ``--dh`` is not specified. Modern TLS
implementations will prefer ECDH and other more modern algorithms anyway.
- ``--cryptoapicert`` now supports issuer name as well as Windows CA template
name or OID as selector string.

using recent versions of OpenSSL.
- The ``IV_PLAT_VER`` variable sent by Windows clients now contains the

+- Changed from using ``uncrustify`` for code formatting and pre-commit checks

the broadcast address again. This was dropped for 2.6.0 "because
