Summary

AI summary

Removed ineffective --enable-strict and --enable-strict-options configure flags.

Full changelog

Bugfixes:

  • using --dns server ... style configs on Windows with win-dco would
    lead to erroneously enabling "DnsSecValidationRequired : True", possibly
    breaking VPN DNS resolution. Pushing --dns server ... dnssec no
    can be used as a workaround until clients can be updated.
    (Github: openvpn#1024)
  • correct comments in the --dns-up-down platform scripts relating to
    dns_server_..._dnssec values.
  • fix release-only build of pkcs11-helper vcpkg port, do not try to
    install files from debug build.
  • mbedTLS builds will now provide a proper error message if a
    tls-group statement with no valid groups is encountered
    (used to run into SSL handshake failure later on).
  • --enable-strict and --enable-strict-options configure flags have
    been removed (because they did not actually do anything anymore)
