+	    If the daemon port listener is restarted, it could
+	    potentially fail with <c>eaddrinuse</c> if the timing is
+	    unlucky. It will now retry and exponentially back off the
+	    listener restart a few times before failing.</p>

+	    An ssh_sftp server (running version 6) could fail if it

+	    An option <c>exec</c> for daemons implementing the 'exec'
+	    has existed a long time but has been undocumented. The
+	    old behaviour is kept for compatibility EXCEPT that error
+	    messages are changed and are sent as "stderror" text.</p>
+          <p>
+	    A new option value is defined to make it much more easy
+	    to implement an own <c>exec</c> server.</p>

+	    The undocumented ssh_dbg module is completely re-written
+	    to facilitate tracing/debugging.</p>

+	    The SSH supervisor structure has been slightly changed.
+	    This makes stopping the ssh application considerably
+	    faster if there are open connections. This is important
+	    in for example restarts.</p>

+	    The type specifications in SSH are reworked and the
+	    following types are renamed:</p>
+          <p>
+	    ssh:ssh_connection_ref() is changed to
+	    ssh:connection_ref(), </p>
+          <p>
+	    ssh:ssh_daemon_ref() is changed to ssh:daemon_ref(),</p>
+          <p>
+	    ssh:ssh_channel_id() is changed to ssh:channel_id().</p>

+          <p>
+	    Removed unused <c>ssh_client_key.erl</c> and
+	    <c>ssh_server_key.erl</c>.</p>

+	    The Reference Manual pages are partly updated.</p>
+          <p>
+	    The ssh page is now generated from specs and types, is
+	    restructured and is partly rephrased.</p>
+          <p>
+	    The ssh_channel, ssh_connection, ssh_client_key_api,
+	    ssh_server_key_api and ssh_sftp pages are updated with
+	    links, correct type names and some minor changes.</p>

+	    The behaviors <c>ssh_channel</c> and
+	    <c>ssh_daemon_channel</c> are renamed to
+	    <c>ssh_client_channel</c> and <c>ssh_server_channel</c>
+	    respectively.</p>
+          <p>
+	    The old modules are kept for compatibility but should
+	    preferably be replaced when updating callback modules
+	    referring them.</p>
