+ A design flaw in the generic connection handling in
+ Common Test made it impossible to implement a connection
+ handler that could map multiple connection names (i.e.
+ configuration variable aliases) to single connection
+ pids. This problem has been solved.</p>

+ If a telnet connection is hanging, then a call to
+ ct_telnet:close/1 will time out after 5 seconds and the
+ connection process is brutally killed. In some cases the
+ connection would not be unregistered and attempts at
+ opening a new connection with the same name would make
+ common_test try to reuse the same connection since it
+ believed that it was still alive. This has been corrected
+ - a killed connection is now always unregistered.</p>

+ Test performance has been improved by means of a cache
+ for the top level HTML index logs (all_runs.html and
+ index.html, in the logdir directory). This solves
+ problems with slow start up times and test execution
+ times increasing with the number of ct_run directories
+ stored in logdir. The cached index entries are stored in
+ RAM during test execution and are saved to file in logdir
+ (for faster start up times) whenever a test run finishes.</p>

+ Common Test would, in case of timetrap error, print a
+ warning in the log if end_per_testcase wasn't implemented
+ in the suite, even though it's an optional function. This
+ printout has been removed.</p>

+ If it could not be decided which test case a certain log
+ printout belonged to, the common test framework log was
+ earlier used. Such printouts are now instead sent to
+ unexpected_io.log.html in test_server so that there is
+ only one place to look for "missing" printouts.</p>

+ In particular, search using the source path in

+ 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>

+ A link is added from the red error printout in a test
+ case log (for a failed test case) to the full error
+ description at the end of the log. The reason for this is
+ that the error description in the red field is sometimes
+ truncated at 50 characters in order to keep the log as
+ short and easy to read as possible.</p>

+ A new option 'no_prompt_check' is added to
+ ct_telnet:expect/3. If this option is used, ct_telnet
+ will not wait for a prompt or a newline before attempting
+ to match the given pattern.</p>
