          <p>
	    Workaround for handling certificates that wrongly encode
	    X509countryname in utf-8 when the actual value is a valid
	    ASCCI value of length 2. Such certificates are accepted
	    by many browsers such as Chrome and Fierfox so for
	    interoperability reasons we will too.</p>

    <section><title>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</title>
      <list>
        <item>
          <p>
	    Robustness and improvement to distribution over SSL</p>
          <p>
	    Fix a bug where ssl_tls_dist_proxy would crash at caller
	    timeout. Fix a bug where a timeout from the SSL layer
	    would block the distribution indefinately. Run the proxy
	    exclusively on the loopback interface. (Thanks to Paul
	    Guyot)</p>

            to be calculated wrongly under the circumstances that the

            The new ssl implementation released as a alfa in this

            <p>A new implementation of ssl is released as a alfa
            version in ssl-3.9 it will later replace the old
            implementation in ssl-4.0. The new implementation can be
            accessed by providing the option {ssl_imp, new} to the
            ssl:connect and ssl:listen functions.</p>
            <p>The new implementation is Erlang based and all logic
            is in Erlang and only payload encryption calculations are
            done in C via the crypto application. The main reason for
            making a new implementation is that the old solution was
            very crippled as the control of the ssl-socket was deep
            down in openssl making it hard if not impossible to
            support all inet options, ipv6 and upgrade of a tcp
            connection to an ssl connection. The alfa version has a
            few limitations that will be removed before the ssl-4.0
            release. Main differences and limitations in the alfa are
            listed below.</p>

          <p>Because fopen() on Solaris 8 can't handle file
            descriptor numbers above 255, reading of certificate
            files would fail if all file descriptors below 256 were
            in use (typically, if many connections were open). This
            problem has been worked around.</p>
          <p>The ssl application's port program used to use
            select(), which meant that it could not handle more than
            FD_SETSIZE file descriptors (usually 1024). To eliminate
            that limitation, poll() is now used on all platforms that
            support it.</p>
          <p>Solaris/Sparc, 64-bit emulator: The SO_REUSEADDR
            option was not set for listen sockets, which essentially
            made the ssl application unusable. Corrected.</p>
          <p>The default listen queue size for ssl port program was
            changed to 128 (from 5).</p>
