+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fixed: inet:setopts(S, [{linger,{true,2}}]) returned
+ {error,einval} for SCTP sockets. The inet_drv had a bug
+ when checking the option size.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-8726 Aux Id: seq11617 </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ gen_udp:connect/3 was broken for SCTP enabled builds. It
+ did not detect remote end errors as it should.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-8729</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>reference() has been substituted for ref() in the
+ documentation.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-8733</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>A bug introduced in kernel-2.13.5.3 has been fixed. If
+ running <c>net_kernel:set_net_ticktime/1</c> twice within
+ the <c>TransitionPerod</c> the second call caused the
+ net_kernel process to crash with a <c>badmatch</c>.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-8787 Aux Id: seq11657, OTP-8643 </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ inet:getsockopt for SCTP sctp_default_send_param had a
+ bug to not initialize required feilds causing random
+ answers. It is now corrected.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-8795 Aux Id: seq11655 </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>For a socket in the HTTP packet mode, the return value
+ from <c>gen_tcp:recv/2,3</c> if there is an error in the
+ header will be <c>{ok,{http_error,String}}</c> instead of
+ <c>{error,{http_error,String}}</c> to be consistent with
+ <c>ssl:recv/2,3</c>.</p>

+ <section><title>Improvements and New Features</title>
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Even when configuring erlang with --enable-native-libs,
+ the native code for modules loaded very early (such as
+ lists) would not get loaded. This has been corrected.
+ (Thanks to Paul Guyot.)</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-8750</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ The undocumented function inet:ifget/2 has been improved
+ to return interface hardware address (MAC) on platforms
+ supporting getaddrinfo() (such as BSD unixes). Note it
+ still does not work on all platforms for example not
+ Windows nor Solaris, so the function is still
+ undocumented.</p>
+ <p>
+ Buffer overflow and field init bugs for inet:ifget/2 and
+ inet:getservbyname/2 has also been fixed.</p>
+ <p>
+ Thanks to Michael Santos.</p>

+ <p>
+ As a usability improvement the 'inet6' option to
+ functions gen_tcp:listen/2, gen_tcp:connect/3-4,
+ gen_udp:open/2 and gen_sctp:open/1-2 is now implicit if
+ the address argument or the 'ip' option contain an IPv6
+ address (8-tuple).</p>
