+	    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>

+	    A channel callback module always got the module name as
+	    reason in a call to terminate. Now it will get the proper
+	    Reason, usually 'normal'.</p>

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

+	    The experimental <c>ssh_dbg</c> module is completely
+	    re-written. Its purpose is to make tracing and debugging
+	    easier on deployed systems.</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 completly reworked and
+	    the following types are renamed:</p>
+          <p>
+	    <c>ssh:ssh_connection_ref()</c> is changed to
+	    <c>ssh:connection_ref()</c>, </p>
+          <p>

+	    <c>ssh:daemon_ref()</c>,</p>
+          <p>
+	    <c>ssh:ssh_channel_id()</c> is changed to
+	    <c>ssh:channel_id()</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>
