tag a new release soon

• in Unable to set correct route for OSX high sierra 10.13.6 #378 the question about a new release has appeared.
• in FreeBSD support #300 @DimitriPapadopoulos has expressed that he would like to test the master before publishing a new release
• in [Feature request] BSD support #241 I have suggested to go through the open pull requests and see which ones we can include, too. From my perspective, Helpful error messages #389 can be merged, For Add --otp-delay option #376 and Add script option #153 we have to decide if we want to support these additional command line options, and about config.h: set FIELD_SIZE to 128 #361 I'm not sure what's the current status.

[DimitriPapadopoulos]

I'm running the current master without problems in my environment.

Thank you guys, I let you decide when to create a release (should we wait for #389 or not), and I'll do it!

[mrbaseman]

@DimitriPapadopoulos do you agree with the changes that I have committed to your branch? :-)
Ah, and what about the high level changelog which we were asked for in #338?

[mrbaseman]

I would like to include

• Helpful error messages #389 which is useful for debugging authentication problems,
• use ppp interface name instead of ip for routing #392 which contains fixes for setting up the routes correctly on FreeBSD - it completes FreeBSD support #300 so to say,
• and add CHANGELOG.md #393, the high-level change log

I have no objections against #376 as it makes the delay configurable. #361 and #153 probably need a bit more effort in order to be applied on the current master.
We would need a bit more testing

[DimitriPapadopoulos]

About #376, I'd rather get to the bottom of this issue instead of adding yet another option. Only a single case has been reported where this is useful. Why?

[mrbaseman]

#389 might help finding the root cause, or adding more debug output (something like printing the received html code of the login form for loglevel >= 5).

@adrienverge has released version 1.8.0, so we can close this one now
