+ ssl now uses gen_statem instead of gen_fsm to implement
+ the ssl connection process, this solves some timing
+ issues in addtion to making the code more intuitive as
+ the behaviour can be used cleanly instead of having a lot
+ of workaround for shortcomings of the behaviour.</p>

+ <p>
+ Some legacy TLS 1.0 software does not tolerate the 1/n-1

+ mitigation technique.</p>
