+ Fix faulty cleanup after diameter:remove_transport/2.</p>

+ Removing a transport removed the configuration but did
+ not prevent the transport process from being restarted.</p>

+ Add support for TLS over TCP.</p>
+ <p>
+ RFC 3588 requires that a Diameter server support TLS. In
+ practice this seems to mean TLS over SCTP since there are
+ limitations with running over SCTP: see RFC 6083 (DTLS
+ over SCTP), which is a response to RFC 3436 (TLS over
+ SCTP). The current RFC 3588 draft acknowledges this by
+ equating TLS with TLS/TCP and DTLS/SCTP.</p>
+ <p>
+ TLS handshaking can take place either following a CER/CEA
+ that negotiates TLS using the Inband-Security-Id AVP (the
+ method documented in RFC 3588) or immediately following
+ connection establishment (the method added to the current
+ draft).</p>

+ Improvements to the dictionary parser.</p>
+ <p>
+ The dictionary parser now emits useful error messages in
+ case of faults in the input file, also identifying the
+ line number at which the fault was detected. There are
+ semantic checks that were missing in the previous parser,
+ a fault in the interpretation of vendor id's in
+ combination with @inherits has been fixed and @end can be
+ used to terminate parsing explicitly instead of always
+ parsing to end of file.</p>

+ <p>
+ Improve dictionary reusability.</p>
+ <p>
+ Reusing a dictionary just to get a different generated
+ module name or prefix previously required taking a copy
+ of the source, which may consist of several files if
+ inheritance is used, just to edit a couple of lines which
+ don't affect the semantics of the Diameter application
+ being defined. Options --name, --prefix and --inherits
+ have been added to diameterc to allow corresponding
+ values to be set at compile time.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-9641</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add capabilities_cb transport option.</p>
+ <p>
+ Its value is a function that's applied to the transport
+ reference and capabilities record after capabilities
+ exchange. If a callback returns anything but 'ok' then
+ the connection is closed. In the case of an incoming CER,
+ the callback can return a result code with which to
+ answer. Multiple callbacks can be specified and are
+ applied until either all return 'ok' or one doesn't.</p>
+ <p>
+ This provides a way to reject a peer connection.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-9654</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add @codecs to dictionary format.</p>
+ <p>
+ The semantics are similar to @custom_types but results in
+ codec functions of the form TypeName(encode|decode,
+ AvpName, Data) rather than AvpName(encode|decode,
+ TypeName, Data). That is, the role of the AVP name and
+ Diameter type name are reversed. This eliminates the need
+ for exporting one function for each AVP sharing a common
+ specialized encode/decode.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-9708 Aux Id: OTP-9639 </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add #diameter_callback{} for more flexible callback
+ configuration.</p>
+ <p>
+ The record allows individual functions to be configured
+ for each of the diameter_app(3) callbacks, as well as a
+ default callback.</p>
