+ <p>
+ A simple socket API is provided through the socket
+ module. This is a low level API that does *not* replace
+ gen_[tcp|udp|sctp]. It is intended to *eventually*
+ replace the inet driver, but not the high level
+ gen-modules (gen_tcp, gen_udp and gen_sctp). It also
+ provides a basic API that facilitates the implementation
+ of other protocols, than TCP, UDP and SCTP. </p>
+ <p>
+ Known issues are; No support for the Windows OS
+ (currently).</p>

+ to other nodes. </p>

+ <p>
+ The dist messages EXIT, EXIT2 and MONITOR_DOWN have been
+ updated with new versions that send the reason term as
+ part of the payload of the message instead of as part of
+ the control message.</p>
+ <p>
+ The old versions are still present and can be used when
+ communicating with nodes that don't support the new
+ versions.</p>

+ Kernel configuration parameter <c>start_distribution =
+ boolean()</c> is added. If set to <c>false</c>, the
+ system is started with all distribution functionality
+ disabled. Defaults to <c>true</c>.</p>

+ <p>
+ In OTP-21.3, a warning was introduced for duplicated
+ applications/keys in configuration. This warning would be
+ displayed both when the configuration was given as a file
+ on system start, and during runtime via
+ <c>application:set_env/1,2</c>.</p>
+ <p>
+ The warning is now changed to a <c>badarg</c> exception
+ in <c>application:set_env/1,2</c>. If the faulty
+ configuration is given in a configuration file on system
+ start, the startup will fail.</p>
