+ 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>

+ <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>

+ The <c>high_msgq_watermark</c> and
+ <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>
