+ ECDH-ECDSA key exchange supported, was accidently

+ <p>
+ Correct close semantics for active once connections. This
+ was a timing dependent bug the resulted in the close
+ message not always reaching the ssl user process.</p>

+ <p>
+ TLS-1.2 clients will now always send hello messages on
+ its own format, as opposed to earlier versions that will
+ send the hello on the lowest supported version, this is a
+ change supported by the latest RFC.</p>
+ <p>
+ This will make interoperability with some newer servers
+ smoother. Potentially, but unlikely, this could cause a
+ problem with older servers if they do not adhere to the
+ RFC and ignore unknown extensions.</p>
+ <p>
+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-13820</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Allow Erlang/OTP to use OpenSSL in FIPS-140 mode, in
+ order to satisfy specific security requirements (mostly
+ by different parts of the US federal government). </p>
+ <p>
+ See the new crypto users guide "FIPS mode" chapter about
+ building and using the FIPS support which is disabled by
+ default.</p>
+ <p>
+ (Thanks to dszoboszlay and legoscia)</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-13921 Aux Id: PR-1180 </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Implemented DTLS cookie generation, required by spec,
+ instead of using a hardcoded value.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14076</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Implement sliding window replay protection of DTLS
+ records.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14077</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ TLS client processes will by default call
+ public_key:pkix_verify_hostname/2 to verify the hostname
+ of the connection with the server certificates specified
+ hostname during certificate path validation. The user may
+ explicitly disables it. Also if the hostname can not be
+ derived from the first argument to connect or is not
+ supplied by the server name indication option, the check
+ will not be performed.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14197</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Extend connection_information/[1,2] . The values
+ session_id, master_secret, client_random and
+ server_random can no be accessed by
+ connection_information/2. Note only session_id will be
+ added to connection_information/1. The rational is that
+ values concerning the connection security should have to
+ be explicitly requested.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14291</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Chacha cipher suites are currently not tested enough to
+ be most preferred ones</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14382</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Basic support for DTLS that been tested together with
+ OpenSSL.</p>
+ <p>
+ Test by providing the option {protocol, dtls} to the ssl
+ API functions connect and listen.</p>
