 Check out the git tag OTP-20.3.8.5, and build a full OTP system
 including documentation. Apply one or more applications from this
 build as patches to your installation using the 'otp_patch_apply'
 tool. For information on install requirements, see descriptions for
 each application version below.

 --- POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITIES -------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  OTP-15225    Application(s): erts

               Fixed a bug causing some Erlang references to be
               inconsistently ordered. This could for example cause
               failure to look up certain elements with references as
               keys in search data structures. This bug was introduced
               in R13B02.

               Thanks to Simon Cornish for finding the bug and
               supplying a fix.


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- compiler-7.1.5.1 ------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 The compiler-7.1.5.1 application can be applied independently of
 other applications on a full OTP 20 installation.

 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-15204    Application(s): compiler
               Related Id(s): ERL-679

               Fixed an issue where files compiled with the
               +deterministic option differed if they were compiled in
               a different directory but were otherwise identical.


 Full runtime dependencies of compiler-7.1.5.1: crypto-3.6, erts-9.0,
 hipe-3.12, kernel-4.0, stdlib-2.5


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- crypto-4.2.2.1 --------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 The crypto-4.2.2.1 application can be applied independently of other
 applications on a full OTP 20 installation.

 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-15194    Application(s): crypto
               Related Id(s): ERL-673

               Fixed a node crash in crypto:compute_key(ecdh, ...)
               when passing a wrongly typed Others argument.


 Full runtime dependencies of crypto-4.2.2.1: erts-9.0, kernel-5.3,
 stdlib-3.4


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- erts-9.3.3.3 ----------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 The erts-9.3.3.3 application can be applied independently of other
 applications on a full OTP 20 installation.

 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-15223    Application(s): erts

               Fixed a bug which caused an emulator crash when
               enif_send() was called by a NIF that executed on a
               dirty scheduler. The bug was either triggered when the
               NIF called enif_send() without a message environment,
               or when the process executing the NIF was send traced.


  OTP-15225    Application(s): erts

               *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

               Fixed a bug causing some Erlang references to be
               inconsistently ordered. This could for example cause
               failure to look up certain elements with references as
               keys in search data structures. This bug was introduced
               in R13B02.

               Thanks to Simon Cornish for finding the bug and
               supplying a fix.


 Full runtime dependencies of erts-9.3.3.3: kernel-5.0, sasl-3.0.1,
 stdlib-3.0


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- mnesia-4.15.3.1 -------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 The mnesia-4.15.3.1 application can be applied independently of other
 applications on a full OTP 20 installation.

 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-15221    Application(s): mnesia
               Related Id(s): ERIERL-217

               When master node is set do not force a load from
               ram_copies replica when there are no available
               disc_copies, since that would load an empty table. Wait
               until a disk replica is available or until user
               explicitly force_loads the table.


  OTP-15226    Application(s): mnesia
               Related Id(s): ERIERL-221

               Allow to add replicas even if all other replicas are
               down when the other replicase are not stored on disk.


 Full runtime dependencies of mnesia-4.15.3.1: erts-9.0, kernel-5.3,
 stdlib-3.4


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- ssl-8.2.6.2 -----------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 Note! The ssl-8.2.6.2 application can *not* be applied independently
       of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 20 installation.

       On a full OTP 20 installation, also the following runtime
       dependencies have to be satisfied:
       -- crypto-4.2 (first satisfied in OTP 20.2)
       -- public_key-1.5 (first satisfied in OTP 20.1)


 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-15168    Application(s): ssl

               Correct handling of empty server SNI extension


  OTP-15203    Application(s): ssl

               Correct cipher suite handling for ECDHE_*, the
               incorrect handling could cause an incorrrect suite to
               be selected and most likly fail the handshake.


 Full runtime dependencies of ssl-8.2.6.2: crypto-4.2, erts-7.0,
 inets-5.10.7, kernel-3.0, public_key-1.5, stdlib-3.2
