Sure. Yeah, frustrating delays all around.

Have finished all the required functionality, except for encrypting the connection. We still need to code up the final user interface too.
Just finished updating the installer with new driver. It was pretty complicated as we had problems to fix for some users who couldn't install it properly and a lot of the install code for hardware drivers is not that obvious. So that took way longer than we anticipated.
There's some other work to be done about talking to the user interface before we release the next beta, so it's not far off.
After this beta version we'll finish up the user interface which is reasonably straight forward.

Well, we've been doing the new installer and new driver, plus updater and of course it was more difficult than we expected.

Anyway, developer doing this part says it should be finished tomorrow ready for testing, so either tomorrow or the next day.

Found a last minute driver install bug which would affect future updates, so we're fixing that tomorrow then will test and release

Ok, there's an update now

https://www.firetrust.com/products/hide ... d-vpn/beta

It's just a new installer and driver, we'll do new updates this week and next with all the other parts we left out (UDP, DNS, Rules and ping test) as we had to do a lot of re-organising.

Make sure you shut down the old Hideaway before installing this update. Or, you can click 'Check for updates' and it will install automatically, but you still need to restart Hideaway for the new version to be loaded.
