	    of workaround for shortcomings of the behaviour.</p>

	    OpenSSL has functions to generate short (eight hex
	    digits) hashes of issuers of certificates and CRLs. These
	    hashes are used by the "c_rehash" script to populate
	    directories of CA certificates and CRLs, e.g. in the
	    Apache web server. Add functionality to let an Erlang
	    program find the right CRL for a given certificate in
	    such a directory.</p>

	    The PEM cache is now validated by a background process,

	    The code emulating the inet header option was changed in
	    the belief that it made it inet compatible. However the
	    testing is a bit hairy as the inet option is actually
	    broken, now the tests are corrected and the header option
	    should work in the same broken way as inet again,
	    preferably use the bitsyntax instead.</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>

	    Correct handling of client certificate verify message
	    When checking the client certificate verify message the
	    server used the wrong algorithm identifier to determine
	    the signing algorithm, causing a function clause error in
	    the public_key application when the key-exchange
	    algorithm and the public key algorithm of the client
	    certificate happen to differ.</p>

	    Changed ssl implementation to retain backwards
	    compatibility for old option {verify, 0} that shall be
	    equivalent to {verify, verify_none}, also separate the
	    cases unknown ca and selfsigned peer cert, and restored
	    return value of deprecated function
	    public_key:pem_to_der/1.</p>

	    Changed the verify fun so that it differentiate between
	    the peer certificate and CA certificates by using
	    valid_peer or valid as the second argument to the verify
	    fun. It may not always be trivial or even possible to
	    know when the peer certificate is reached otherwise.</p>

	    The client hello message now always include ALL available
	    cipher suites (or those specified by the ciphers option).
	    Previous implementation would filter them based on the
	    client certificate key usage extension (such filtering
	    only makes sense for the server certificate).</p>

	    Changed the semantics of the verify_fun option in the
	    ssl-application so that it takes care of both application
	    handling of path validation errors and verification of
	    application specific extensions. This means that it is
	    now possible for the server application in verify_peer
	    mode to handle path validation errors. This change moved
	    some functionality earlier in ssl to the public_key
	    application.</p>

	    Added the functionality so that the verification fun will
	    be called when a certificate is considered valid by the
	    path validation to allow access to each certificate in
	    the path to the user application. Also try to verify
	    subject-AltName, if unable to verify it let the
	    application verify it.</p>
