I expect to have a new version of Tunnelblick available in the next few days. It includes a complete rewrite of the Tunnelblick app update mechanism and will need extensive testing before it is released, even as a beta. I'm looking for people to do such testing.

New features include:
  • Any user (standard or administrator) can update without administrator authorization. (Optional, requires a setting to be set one time by an administrator.)
  • If administrator authorization is required for an update, it is only required once, not twice.
  • Does not interrupt other Applications to announce the availability of an update; instead, a yellow "caution" badge is added to the Tunnelblick icon in the menu/status bar and a menu item is available to display update information and options.
  • Updates can be checked for only when a VPN is active (Optional.)
  • Updates can be downloaded in the background or only when they are to be installed.
If you would like to help with the pre-release testing, please email devel...@tunnelblick.net.
