 ## Versions
 
+* **25.06.20:** - Simplify module tests, prevent iptables issues from resulting in false negatives.
 * **19.06.20:** - Add support for Ubuntu Focal (20.04) kernels. Compile wireguard tools and kernel module instead of using the ubuntu packages. Make module install optional. Improve verbosity in logs.
 * **29.05.20:** - Add support for 64bit raspbian.
 * **28.04.20:** - Add Buster/Stretch backports repos for Debian. Tested with OMV 5 and OMV 4 (on kernel 4.19.0-0.bpo.8-amd64).
