+ Improve robustness.</p>
+ <p>
+ Counters returned by diameter:service_info/2 now only
+ count messages known to the dictionary in question, so
+ that an attacker cannot cause arbitrarily many counters
+ to be created.</p>
+ <p>
+ Messages to the Erlang log have been minimized, and those
+ related to traffic have been removed entirely since an
+ attacker could cause a node to be logged to death.
+ Consequently, the default answer_errors configuration has
+ been changed from report to discard. A service needs to
+ be restarted for the change in default to take effect.</p>

+ Fix request table leak.</p>
+ <p>
+ Outgoing Diameter requests are stored in a table until an
+ answer is received or times out. Calling
+ diameter:stop_service/1 before this took place would
+ orphan the entries, resulting in a memory leak.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-11893</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fix broken SCTP transport.</p>
+ <p>
+ OTP-11593 caused the sending of answer messages over SCTP
+ to fail.</p>

+ <p>
+ Fix watchdog process leak.</p>
+ <p>
+ A failed capabilities exchange on a listening transport
+ would orphan a process, causing a memory leak.</p>

+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fix incorrect handling of incoming DPR.</p>
+ <p>
+ In the case of a listening transport, a reconnection by a
+ peer following DPR could transition the watchdog state to
+ REOPEN instead of OKAY.</p>

+ Own Id: OTP-11938</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fix handling of AVP length errors on unknown AVPs.</p>
+ <p>
+ An AVP (Header) length that pointed past the end of the
+ message was not flagged as a 5014 error in this case.
+ Moreover, encoding such an AVP in the Failed-AVP of an
+ answer message as a consequence of other errors (eg.
+ M-bit, resulting in 5001) failed if the AVP contained a
+ complete header.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-11946</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fix broken check in dictionary compilation.</p>
+ <p>
+ That an AVP specified in the content of a @codecs or
+ @custom_types section was undefined went undetected,
+ causing compilation to fail when attempting to lookup the
+ AVP's type.</p>

+ Add result code counters for CEA, DWA, and DPA.</p>

+ answer messages.</p>

+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add best-effort decode of AVPs within Failed-AVP.</p>
+ <p>
+ OTP-11007 disabled the decode of AVPs in Failed-AVP since
+ errors could cause the decode of Failed-AVP itself to
+ fail. Component AVPs are now decoded if possible,
+ otherwise not. AVPs of type Grouped are decoded as much
+ as possible, as deeply as possible.</p>

+ Own Id: OTP-11936 Aux Id: OTP-11007 </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add counters for encode errors in outgoing Diameter
+ messages.</p>
+ <p>
+ In addition to the existing counters on decode errors.
+ The latter now count independently of result codes in
+ answer messages since decode errors do not preclude the
+ presence of a result code.</p>
