initiated renegotiation correctly after rewrite to two
connection processes, due to ERL-622 commit
d87ac1c55188f5ba5cdf72384125d94d42118c18. This could

Correct alert handling with new TLS sender process, from
ssl-9.0.2. CLOSE ALERTS could under some circumstances be
encoded using an incorrect cipher state. This would cause
the peer to regard them as unknown messages.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-15337 Aux Id: ERL-738 </p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
Correct handling of socket packet option with new TLS
sender process, from ssl-9.0.2. When changing the socket
option {packet, 1|2|3|4} with ssl:setopts/2 the option
must internally be propagated to the sender process as
well as the reader process as this particular option also
affects the data to be sent.</p>

<p>
TLS will now try to order certificate chains if they
appear to be unordered. That is prior to TLS 1.3,
“certificate_list” ordering was required to be
strict, however some implementations already allowed for
some flexibility. For maximum compatibility, all
implementations SHOULD be prepared to handle potentially
extraneous certificates and arbitrary orderings from any
TLS version.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-12983</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
TLS will now try to reconstructed an incomplete
certificate chains from its local CA-database and use
that data for the certificate path validation. This
especially makes sense for partial chains as then the
peer might not send an intermediate CA as it is
considered the trusted root in that case.</p>

Drop support for SSLv2 enabled clients. SSLv2 has been
broken for decades and never supported by the Erlang

disabled and enabling it has proved to sometimes break

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>

Transport callback handling is changed so that gen_tcp is
treated as a special case where inet will be called
directly for functions such as setopts, as gen_tcp does
not have its own setopts. This will enable users to use
the transport callback for other customizations such as
websockets.</p>

Now handles cleaning of CA-certificate database correctly
so that there will be no memory leek, bug was introduced
in ssl- 5.1 when changing implementation to increase
parallel execution.</p>
<p>
Impact: Improved memory usage, especially if you have
many different certificates and upgrade tcp-connections
to TLS-connections.</p>

TLS 1.2 will now be the default TLS version if sufficient
crypto support is available otherwise TLS 1.1 will be
default.</p>
<p>
Impact: A default TLS connection will have higher
security and hence it may be perceived as slower then
before.</p>

This does not break the documented API however other
reason terms may be returned, so code that matches on the

ssl:recv/3 could "loose" data when the timeout occurs. If
the timout in ssl:connect or ssl:ssl_accept expired the
ssl connection process was not terminated as it should,
this due to gen_fsm:send_all_state_event timout is a
client side time out. These timouts are now handled by
the gen_fsm-procss instead.</p>
