+	    A bug in prim_inet has been corrected. If the port owner
+	    was killed at a bad time while closing the socket port
+	    the port could become orphaned hence causing port and
+	    socket leaking. Reported by Fred Herbert, Dmitry Belyaev
+	    and others.</p>

+	    A few bugs regarding case sensitivity for hostname
+	    resolution while using e.g the internal lookup types
+	    'file' and 'dns' has been corrected. When looking up
+	    hostnames ASCII letters a-z are to be regarded as the
+	    same as A-Z according to RFC 4343 "Domain Name System
+	    (DNS) Case Insensitivity Clarification", and this was not
+	    always the case.</p>

+	    <c>low_msgq_watermark</c> <c>inet</c> socket options
+	    introduced in OTP-R16A could only be set on TCP sockets.
+	    These options are now generic and can be set on all types
+	    of sockets.</p>
