 Check out the git tag OTP-18.3.4.5, 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.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- crypto-3.6.3.1 --------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 The crypto-3.6.3.1 application can be applied independently of other
 applications on a full OTP 18 installation.

 --- Improvements and New Features ---

  OTP-14169    Application(s): crypto, ssh
               Related Id(s): seq13261

               Key exchange algorithms
               diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha* optimized, up to a
               factor of 11 for the slowest ( = biggest and safest)
               one.


 Full runtime dependencies of crypto-3.6.3.1: erts-6.0, kernel-3.0,
 stdlib-2.0


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- erts-7.3.1.3 ----------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 The erts-7.3.1.3 application can be applied independently of other
 applications on a full OTP 18 installation.

 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-13425    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): ERL-94

               A bug has been fixed where if erlang was started +B on
               a unix platform it would be killed by a SIGUSR2 signal
               when creating a crash dump.


  OTP-13866    Application(s): erts

               Calls to erl_drv_send_term() or erl_drv_output_term()
               from a non-scheduler thread while the corresponding
               port was invalid caused the emulator to enter an
               inconsistent state which eventually caused an emulator
               crash.


  OTP-13869    Application(s): erts

               Driver and NIF operations accessing processes or ports
               could cause an emulator crash when used from
               non-scheduler threads. Those operations are:

               -- erl_drv_send_term()

               -- driver_send_term()

               -- erl_drv_output_term()

               -- driver_output_term()

               -- enif_send()

               -- enif_port_command()


  OTP-14159    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): ERL-340

               Fix bug in binary_to_term for binaries created by
               term_to_binary with option compressed. The bug can
               cause badarg exception for a valid binary when Erlang
               VM is linked against a zlib library of version 1.2.9 or
               newer. Bug exists since OTP 17.0.


 Full runtime dependencies of erts-7.3.1.3: kernel-4.0, sasl-2.4,
 stdlib-2.5


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- inets-6.2.4.1 ---------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 The inets-6.2.4.1 application can be applied independently of other
 applications on a full OTP 18 installation.

 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-14173    Application(s): inets
               Related Id(s): seq13262

               Shutdown gracefully on connection or TLS handshake
               errors


 Full runtime dependencies of inets-6.2.4.1: erts-6.0, kernel-3.0,
 mnesia-4.12, runtime_tools-1.8.14, ssl-5.3.4, stdlib-2.0


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- ssh-4.2.2.3 -----------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 Note! The ssh-4.2.2.3 application can *not* be applied independently
       of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 18 installation.

       On a full OTP 18 installation, also the following runtime
       dependency has to be satisfied:
       -- crypto-3.6.3.1 (first satisfied in OTP 18.3.4.5)


 --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---

  OTP-14166    Application(s): ssh

               The key exchange algorithm
               diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha* has a server-option
               {dh_gex_limits,{Min,Max}}. There was a hostkey
               signature validation error on the client side if the
               option was used and the Min or the Max differed from
               the corresponding values obtained from the client.

               This bug is now corrected.


 --- Improvements and New Features ---

  OTP-14169    Application(s): crypto, ssh
               Related Id(s): seq13261

               Key exchange algorithms
               diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha* optimized, up to a
               factor of 11 for the slowest ( = biggest and safest)
               one.


 Full runtime dependencies of ssh-4.2.2.3: crypto-3.6.3.1, erts-6.0,
 kernel-3.0, public_key-0.22, stdlib-2.3
