This is quite confusing. Since this is a fairly important change, and there have been a noticable amount of supports questions related to OpenVPN not starting due to CRL errors, I put this into the "New features" section labelled as an improvement. Otherwise I fear this would drown in the list of "User-visible Changes" later on.
