+ <p>
+ Distribution over SSL (inet_tls) has, to improve
+ performance, been rewritten to not use intermediate
+ processes and ports.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14465</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add suport for ECDHE_PSK cipher suites</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14547</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ For security reasons no longer support 3-DES cipher
+ suites by default</p>
+ <p>
+ *** INCOMPATIBILITY with possibly ***</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14768</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ For security reasons RSA-key exchange cipher suites are
+ no longer supported by default</p>
+ <p>
+ *** INCOMPATIBILITY with possible ***</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14769</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ The interoperability option to fallback to insecure
+ renegotiation now has to be explicitly turned on.</p>
+ <p>
+ *** INCOMPATIBILITY with possibly ***</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14789</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Drop support for SSLv2 enabled clients. SSLv2 has been
+ broken for decades and never supported by the Erlang
+ SSL/TLS implementation. This option was by default
+ disabled and enabling it has proved to sometimes break
+ connections not using SSLv2 enabled clients.</p>
+ <p>
+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14824</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Remove CHACHA20_POLY1305 ciphers form default for now. We
+ have discovered interoperability problems, ERL-538, that
+ we believe needs to be solved in crypto.</p>
+ <p>
+ *** INCOMPATIBILITY with possibly ***</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14882</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Use uri_string module instead of http_uri.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14902</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ The SSL distribution protocol <c>-proto inet_tls</c> has
+ stopped setting the SSL option
+ <c>server_name_indication</c>. New verify funs for client
+ and server in <c>inet_tls_dist</c> has been added, not
+ documented yet, that checks node name if present in peer
+ certificate. Usage is still also yet to be documented.</p>
