Core Update 123 is closed now and available for testing. I hope to
release it within the next two weeks because it doesn't have anything
too big in it and we have a huge backlog of other things that are
waiting to be released.

So the NCP patch will only come with 124 or later.

Would you be able to add documentation around the new crypto warnings
in OpenVPN?

Yeah, brief is good but there should be a reference to further reading
and the basic questions should be answered.

Yes :) I needs to become a very good resource to configure IPFire quick
and also configure the right things :)

But it is a living thing at the same time. It will probably never be
ready.
