Merge branch 'dev' of super:otp into dev
* 'dev' of super:otp: (166 commits)
Corrected documentation error and added examples to Users Guide
In TLS 1.1, failure to properly close a connection no longer requires that a session not be resumed. This is a change from TLS 1.0 to conform with widespread implementation practice. Erlang ssl will now in TLS 1.0 conform to the widespread implementation practice instead of the specification to avoid performance issues.
Add escript to bootstrap/bin
Remove unused variable warning in inet_res
Remove unused variable in epmd_port
Remove compiler warnings in inet_drv
Add SASL test suite
Allow same module name in multiple applications if explicitely excluded
Fix bugs concerning the option report_missing_types
Fix default encoding in SAX parser.
