+ SSL: TLS 1.2, advertise sha224 support, thanks to Andreas
+ Schultz.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-10586</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ If an ssl server is restarted with new options and a
+ client tries to reuse a session the server must make sure
+ that it complies to the new options before agreeing to
+ reuse it.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-10595</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Now handles cleaning of CA-certificate database correctly
+ so that there will be no memory leek, bug was introduced
+ in ssl- 5.1 when changing implementation to increase
+ parallel execution.</p>
+ <p>
+ Impact: Improved memory usage, especially if you have
+ many different certificates and upgrade tcp-connections
+ to TLS-connections.</p>

+ <p>
+ Support Next Protocol Negotiation in TLS, thanks to Ben
+ Murphy for the contribution.</p>
+ <p>
+ Impact: Could give performance benefit if used as it
+ saves a round trip.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-10361 Aux Id: kunagi-214 [125] </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ TLS 1.2 will now be the default TLS version if sufficient
+ crypto support is available otherwise TLS 1.1 will be
+ default.</p>
+ <p>
+ Impact: A default TLS connection will have higher
+ security and hence it may be perceived as slower then
+ before.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-10425 Aux Id: kunagi-275 [186] </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ It is now possible to call controlling_process on a
+ listen socket, same as in gen_tcp.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-10447</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Remove filter mechanisms that made error messages
+ backwards compatible with old ssl but hid information
+ about what actually happened.</p>
+ <p>
+ This does not break the documented API however other
+ reason terms may be returned, so code that matches on the
+ reason part of {error, Reason} may fail.</p>
+ <p>
+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-10451 Aux Id: kunagi-270 [181] </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Added missing dependencies to Makefile</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-10594</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Removed deprecated function ssl:pid/0, it has been
+ pointless since R14 but has been keep for backwards
+ compatibility.</p>
+ <p>
+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-10613 Aux Id: kunagi-331 [242] </p>

+ Refactor to simplify addition of key exchange methods,
+ thanks to Andreas Schultz.</p>
