-            [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

-            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>

-            [httpd] - Changed validity check on bind_address so that
-            it uses inet:getaddr instead of inet:gethostbyaddr as the
-            former puts a too hard restriction on the bind_address.</p>

-            [httpc] - Internal process now does try-catch and
-            terminates normally in case of HTTP parse errors.
-            Semantical the client works just as before returning an
-            error message to the client, even if the error massage
-            has been enhanced, but there is no supervisor report in
-            the shell of a internal process crashing. (Which was the
-            expected behavior and not a fault.)</p>

-            [httpd, httpc] - Deprecated base64 decode/encode
-            functions have been removed. Inets uses base64 in STDLIB
-            instead.</p>

-            [httpd] - It is now possible to restrict the length of
-            acceptable URI:s in the HTTP server.</p>

-            [httpc] - Profiles are now supported i.e. the options
-            available in set_options/1 can be set locally for a
-            certain profile and do not have to affect all
-            HTTP-requests issued in the Erlang node. Calls to the
-            HTTP client API functions not using the profile argument
-            will use the default profile.</p>

-            A new uniform Inets interface provides a flexible way to
-            start/stop Inets services and get information about
-            running services. See inets(3). This also means that
-            inflexibilities in the HTTP server has been removed and
-            more default values has been added.</p>

-            [httpc] - The client will now return the proper value
-            when receiving a HTTP 204 code instead of hanging.</p>

-            The Inets application now has to be explicitly started
-            and stopped i.e. it will not automatically be started as
-            a temporary application as it did before. Although a
-            practical feature when testing things in the shell it is
-            not desirable that people take advantage of this and not
-            start the Inets application in a correct way in their
-            products. Added functions to the Inets API that call
-            application:start/stop.</p>
