 --- HIGHLIGHTS ------------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  OTP-12392    Application(s): ssl

               Add upper limit for session cache, configurable on ssl
               application level.

               If upper limit is reached, invalidate the current cache
               entries, e.i the session lifetime is the max time a
               session will be keept, but it may be invalidated
               earlier if the max limit for the table is reached. This
               will keep the ssl manager process well behaved, not
               exhusting memeory. Invalidating the entries will
               incrementally empty the cache to make room for fresh
               sessions entries.

               Trying to encode an empty named BIT STRING in BER would
               fail with a function_clause exception. (Thanks to

 The common_test-1.11.1 application can be applied independently of
 other applications on a full OTP 18 installation.

 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-13007    Application(s): common_test

               When data from the netconf server was split into many
               ssh packages, the netconf client performed really bad.
               This is now improved.


  OTP-13008    Application(s): common_test

               In ct_netconfc, if a timer expired 'at the same time'
               as the server sent the rpc-reply, the timeout message
               might already be in the client's message queue when the
               client removed the timer ref from its 'pending' list.
               This caused a crash in the client since the timer ref
               could no longer be found when handling the timeout
               message. This problem is now fixed by always flushing
               the timeout message from the message queue when
               canceling a timer.


  OTP-13035    Application(s): common_test

               The error logger handler ct_conn_log_h did not respect
               the 'silent' option, and tried to print to an undefined
               file descriptor. This has been corrected.


  OTP-13173    Application(s): common_test
               Related Id(s): seq12978

               If the user would let the test run proceed after test
               suite compilation failure, Common Test did not set the
               exit status to indicate failure as expected. This has
               been corrected. Also, the 'abort_if_missing_suites'
               option now makes Common Test abort the test run without
               asking the user if compilation fails, even if access to
               stdin/stdout exists.


  OTP-13181    Application(s): common_test, test_server

               With the Common Test 'create_priv_dir' start option set
               to 'auto_per_tc', the name of the priv directory for a
               configuration function could clash with the name of the
               priv directory for a test case, which would cause Test
               Server failure. This error has been corrected.

               Fix request table leaks

               The End-to-End and Hop-by-Hop identifiers of outgoing
               Diameter requests are stored in a table in order for
               the caller to be located when the corresponding answer
               message is received. Entries were orphaned if the
               handler was terminated by an exit signal as a
               consequence of actions taken by callback functions, or
               if callbacks modified identifiers in retransmission
               cases.

               Renamed variables with name bool as Visual Studio 2015
               now treats this is a keyword.


  OTP-13102    Application(s): erts

               erl_prim_loader has not supported custom loaders for
               several releases. In the documentation for
               erl_prim_loader, all references to custom loaders have

  OTP-13125    Application(s): erts

               Fix maps decode in erlang:binary_to_term/1

               Decoding a term with a large (HAMT) map in an small
               (FLAT) map could cause a critical error if the external
               format was not produced by beam.


  OTP-13146    Application(s): erts

               Fix very rare bug in GC when big maps with a lot of
               hash collisions from a remote node are waiting in inner
               message queue.


  OTP-13150    Application(s): erts

               Fixed a bug that could cause a crash dump to become
               almost empty.

               Reintroduce the erlang:make_fun/3 BIF in erl_bif_types.


  OTP-13092    Application(s): hipe

               In certain cases of matching with very big binaries,
               the HiPE compiler generated code that would fail the
               match, even in cases that the matching was successful.

  OTP-13040    Application(s): kernel

               IPv6 distribution handler has been updated to share
               code with IPv4 so that all features are supported in
               IPv6 as well. A bug when using an IPv4 address as

  OTP-13083    Application(s): kernel

               Caching of host names in the internal DNS resolver
               inet_res has been made character case insensitive for

  OTP-13155    Application(s): kernel
               Related Id(s): PR#646

               Cooked file mode buffering has been fixed so
               file:position/2 now works according to Posix on Posix
               systems i.e. when file:position/2 returns an error the
               file pointer is unaffected.

               The Windows system documentation, however, is unclear
               on this point so the documentation of file:position/2
               still does not promise anything.

               Cooked file mode file:pread/2,3 and file:pwrite/2,3
               have been corrected to honor character encoding like
               the combination of file:position/2 and file:read/2 or
               file:write/2 already does. This is probably not very
               useful since the character representation on the

               There is now a file (public_key/priv/moduli) which
               lists size-generator-modulus triples. The purpose is to
               give servers the possibility to select the crypto
               primes randomly among a list of pregenerated triples.
               This reduces the risk for some attacks on
               diffie-hellman negotiation.

               See the reference manual for public_key:dh_gex_group/4
               where the handling of this is described.

               Related Id(s): OTP-11688

               Better error handling in ssh_file. There was some rare
               errors when a NFS-mounted file was opened by ssh_file
               and then remotely deleted during reading. That caused
               an endless loop.

               That bug is now fixed.

               The ssh:daemon option pwdfun now also takes a fun/4.
               This enables the user to 1) check userid-password in
               another way than the builtin algorithm, 2) implement
               rate limiting per user or source IP or IP+Port, and 3)
               implement blocking of missbehaving peers.

               The old fun/2 still works as previously.


  OTP-13066    Application(s): ssh

               There is now a new option to make the server limit the

  OTP-13130    Application(s): ssh

               The sftp receive window handling is optimized so it
               will not update the remote end too often. This makes
               "sftp mget" considerable faster.


  OTP-13156    Application(s): ssh

               The option key_cb is extended to take an optional list
               that is passed to the callback module as an option.
               With this it is possible to have different keys
               depending on which host that is connected. Another
               possibility is to write a callback module that fetches
               keys etc from a database.

               If upper limit is reached, invalidate the current cache
               entries, e.i the session lifetime is the max time a
               session will be keept, but it may be invalidated
               earlier if the max limit for the table is reached. This
               will keep the ssl manager process well behaved, not
