	    A new option for handling the SSH_MSG_DEBUG message's
	    printouts. A fun could be given in the options that will
	    be called whenever the SSH_MSG_DEBUG message arrives.
	    This enables the user to format the printout or just
	    discard it.</p>

          <p>
	    A new option for ssh:daemon is also introduced:

	    the least max packet size declaration that the daemon
	    will accept from a client. The default value is 0 to

	    Supports tar file creation on other media than file

          <p>
	    The <c>erl_tar</c> api is extended with
	    <c>erl_tar:init/3</c> that enables usage of user provided
	    media storage routines. A ssh-specific set of such
	    routines is hidden in the new function
	    <c>ssh_sftp:open_tar/3</c> to simplify creating a tar
	    archive on a remote ssh server.</p>
          <p>
	    A chunked file reading option is added to
	    <c>erl_tar:add/3,4</c> to save memory on e.g small
	    embedded systems. The size of the slices read from a file
	    in that case can be specified.</p>

	    hooks could also be used to read remote tar files that
	    need transformation before file extraction.</p>
          <p>
	    Those hooks are intended for encryption and decryption of
	    tar files. Effort is put into memory, disk and network
	    resource economy.</p>

	    Ssh process structure was redesigned to better map to
	    what is truly parallel this has solved a lot of strange
	    timing issues that sometimes would occur, for instance a
	    process leak could happen when a lot of connections where
	    taken up and down in parallel in a short period of time.
	    Also backwards compatible clauses to "original" but never
	    supported features has been removed.</p>

	    Integrate elliptic curve contribution from Andreas
	    Schultz </p>
          <p>
	    In order to be able to support elliptic curve cipher
	    suites in SSL/TLS, additions to handle elliptic curve
	    infrastructure has been added to public_key and crypto.</p>
          <p>
	    This also has resulted in a rewrite of the crypto API to
	    gain consistency and remove unnecessary overhead. All OTP
	    applications using crypto has been updated to use the new
	    API.</p>
          <p>
	    Impact: Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) offers
	    equivalent security with smaller key sizes than other
	    public key algorithms. Smaller key sizes result in
	    savings for power, memory, bandwidth, and computational
	    cost that make ECC especially attractive for constrained
	    environments.</p>

            The erlang ssh server has presented itself incorrectly,
            using the special version ssh-1.99, although it never has
            supported versions below 2.0. Since ssh-1.1 client
            versions below 2.0 are correctly rejected instead of
            letting the server crash later on. Alas the problem with
            the presentation string was not discovered until after
            ssh.1.1 was released. Now the server will present itself
            as ssh-2.0.</p>

            An internal function call used an incorrect parameter, which
            caused problem when the old listen API was used. This was
            introduced in Ssh-1.1.</p>

            Ssh timeouts will now behave as expected i.e. defaults to
            infinity only the user of the ssh application can know of
            a reasonable timeout value for their application.</p>

            To honor the multiplexing of channels over one ssh
            connection concept ssh_sftp:connect/ [1,2,3] is
            deprecated and replaced by ssh_sftp:start_channel/[1,2,3]
            and ssh_sftp:stop/1 is deprecated and replaced by
            ssh_sftp:stop_channel/1 and to stop the ssh connection
            ssh:close/ 1 should be called.</p>

            ConnectionManager} that shall be handled by the channel
            callback handle_msg/2. This makes the function
            handle_msg/2 a mandatory function for ssh channels
            implementations which it was not in ssh-1.1.</p>

	A flaw in the implementation of the supervision tree
	caused the ssh daemon to close the connections to all
	currently logged in users if one user logged out. Another
	problem related to the supervision tree caused the closing
	down of clients to leak processes i.e. all processes was
      not shutdown correctly.</p>

      almost never correct, at least on unix-based platforms.</p>

	Ssh incorrectly sent the local id instead of the remote
	id of a channel to the peer. For simpler cases these ids
	often happen to have the same value. One case when they
	do not is when the client sends an exec command two times
	in a raw on the same ssh connection (different channels
	of course as the channel will be closed when the exec
      command has been evaluated) .</p>

	New API module ssh_channel has been added. This is a
	behaviour to facilitate the implementation of ssh clients
	and plug in subsystems to the ssh daemon. Note that this
	slightly changes the options to the API function
	ssh:daemon/[1,2,3] deprecating all no longer documented
	options. Note that the new API enforces the "logical way"
	of using the old API i.e. making the subsystem process
	part of the ssh applications supervisor tree, so missuses
      of the old API are not compatible with the new API.</p>
