This is the first release in the 3.x series. This "rc1" release is a release candidate; provided there are no notable issues to be fixed, this release is slated to become the official 3.0.0 release. If changes are deemed necessary they will be made, possibly with further rc-releases.
The following Feature Highlights are taken from the EasyRSA-Readme document:
- Easy-RSA is able to manage multiple PKIs, each with their own independent
configuration, storage directory, and X.509 extension handling. - Multiple Subject Name (X.509 DN field) formatting options are supported. For
VPNs, this means a cleaner commonName only setup can be used. - A single backend is used across all supported platforms, ensuring that no
platform is 'left out' of the rich features. Unix-alikes (BSD, Linux, etc)
and Windows are all supported. - Easy-RSA's X.509 support includes CRL, CDP, keyUsage/eKu attributes, and
additional features. The included support can be changed or extended as an
advanced feature. - Interactive and automated (batch) modes of operation
- Flexible configuration: features can be enabled through command-line
options, environment variables, a config file, or a combination of these. - Built-in defaults allow Easy-RSA to be used without first editing a config
file.
