+		  <p>The old <c>ftp:open/1</c>, undocumented, function, 
+                    caused the client to be hooken into the inets service

+                    flag), and only used IPv4 if this did not work. 
+                    This has now been <em>changed</em>. </p>

+            and the 
+            <seealso marker="ftp#nlist2">nlist/2</seealso> function 
+            (NLST command) 
+            with wildcards did 
+            not work properly. </p>
+          <p>These functions is documented as working on directories, but 
+            this is actually not according the standard. The LIST and NLST
+            commands are specified to operate on a directory or other 
+            group of files, or a file.</p>
+          <p>Previously, an attempt was made to check if the listing
+            returned by the server was actually an error message. This
+            was done by changing remote directory (cd) into the 
+            (assumed) "directory". This may work if Pathname was actually 
+            a directory, but as this is not always the case, this test 
+            does not work. Instead, we now return the actual server 
+            result and leave the interpretation to the caller. </p>

+            handler for that session effectively resets its parser, readying
+            it for the response to the second request. But if there are still 
+            some inbound packets for the response to the first request, things 
+            get confused.</p>

+            [tftp] If a callback (which performs the file access in
+            the TFTP server) takes too long time (more than the
+	    double TFTP timeout), the server will abort the
+            connection and send an error reply to the client. This
+	    implies that the server will release resources attached
+            to the connection faster than before. The server simply
+            assumes that the client has given up.</p>
+          <p>
+            [tftp] If the TFTP server receives yet another request
+            from the same client (same host and port) while it
+            already has an active connection to the client, it will
+            simply ignore the new request if the request is equal
+            with the first one (same filename and options). This
+            implies that the (new) client will be served by the
+            already ongoing connection on the server side. By not
+            setting up yet another connection, in parallel with the
+            ongoing one, the server will consumer lesser resources.</p>
+          <p>
+            [tftp] netascii mode is now supported when the
+            client/server has native ascii support (Windows). The new
+            optional parameter native_ascii in the tftp_binary and
+            tftp_file callback modules can be used to override the
+            default behavior.</p>
+          <p>
+            [tftp] Yet another callback module has been added in
+            order to allow customized handling of error, warning and
+            info messages. See the new configuration parameter,
+            logger.</p>
+          <p>
+            [tftp] Yet another configuration parameter, max_retries,
+            has been added in order to control the number of times a
+            packet can be resent. The default is 5.</p>
+          <p>
+            [tftp] tftp:info/1 and tftp:change_config/2 can now be
+            applied to all daemons or all servers in one command
+            without bothering about their process identifiers.</p>

+            [tftp] Blocks with too low block numbers are silently
+            discarded. For example if a server receives block #5 when
+            it expects block #7 it will discard the block without
+            interrupting the file transfer. Too high block numbers
+            does still imply an error. External TR HI96072.</p>
