+ Fixed handling of several ssl/tls packets arriving at the
+ same time. This was broken during a refactoring of the
+ code.</p>

+ Added missing checks for padding and Mac value. Removed
+ code for export ciphers and DH certificates as we decided
+ not to support them.</p>

+ <p>
+ New ssl will no longer return esslerrssl to be backwards
+ compatible with old ssl as this hids infomation from the
+ user. format_error/1 has been updated to support new ssl.</p>

+ New ssl now supports secure renegotiation as described by
+ RFC 5746.</p>

+ <p>
+ Alert handling has been improved to better handle
+ unexpected but valid messages and the implementation is
+ also changed to avoid timing related issues that could
+ cause different error messages depending on network
+ latency. Packet handling was sort of broken but would
+ mostly work as expected when socket was in binary mode.
+ This has now been fixed.</p>
