+ <p>
+ Fix handling of Proxy-Info in answer messages setting the
+ E-bit.</p>
+ <p>
+ RFC 6733 requires that Proxy-Info AVPs in an incoming
+ request be echoed in an outgoing answer. This was not
+ done in answers formulated by diameter; for example, as a
+ result of a handle_request callback having returned an
+ 'answer-message' or protocol_error tuple.</p>

+ <p>
+ React to nodeup/nodedown when sharing peer connections.</p>
+ <p>
+ Service configuration share_peers and use_shared_peers
+ did not respond to the coming and going of remote nodes.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14011</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fix inappropriate message callbacks.</p>
+ <p>
+ An incoming CER or DPR was regarded as discarded,
+ resulting in a corresponding message callback (if
+ configured) in diameter_tcp/sctp.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14486</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fix handling of 5009 errors (DIAMETER_AVP_OCCURS_TOO_MANY
+ TIMES).</p>
+ <p>
+ RFC 6733 says that the first AVP that exceeds the bound
+ should be reported, but the suggestions in the errors
+ field of a diameter_packet record counted AVPs from the
+ rear of the message, not the front. Additionally,
+ diameter 2.0 in OTP 20.0 broke the counting by accepting
+ one more AVP than the message grammar in question
+ allowed.</p>

+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Match case insensitively in diameter_tcp/sctp accept
+ tuple.</p>
+ <p>
+ Matching of remote addresses when accepting connections
+ in a listening transport was case-sensitive, causing the
+ semantics to change as a consequence of (kernel)
+ OTP-13006.</p>

+ <p>
+ Fix backwards incompatibility of remote send when sharing
+ transports.</p>
+ <p>
+ The sending of requests over a transport connection on a
+ remote node running an older version of diameter was
+ broken by diameter 2.0 in OTP 20.0.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14552</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fix diameter_packet.avps decode of Grouped AVP errors in
+ Failed-AVP.</p>
+ <p>
+ Decode didn't produce a list of diameter_avp records, so
+ information about faulty component AVPs was lost.</p>

+ <p>
+ Let unordered delivery be configured in diameter_sctp.</p>
+ <p>
+ With option {unordered, boolean() | pos_integer()}, with
+ false the default, and N equivalent to OS =&lt; N, where
+ OS is the number of outbound streams negotiated on the
+ association in question. If configured, unordered sending
+ commences upon reception of a second message, outgoing
+ messages being sent on stream 0 before this.</p>
+ <p>
+ The default false is for backwards compatibility, but
+ false or 1 should be set to follow RFC 6733's
+ recommendation on the use of unordered sending to avoid
+ head-of-line blocking. There is typically no meaningful
+ order to preserve, since the order in which outgoing
+ messages are received by a transport process isn't known
+ to the sender.</p>

+ Complete/simplify Standards Compliance in User's Guide.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-10927</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add service option decode_format.</p>
+ <p>
+ To allow incoming messages to be decoded into maps or
+ lists instead of records. Messages can be presented in
+ any of the formats for encode.</p>
+ <p>
+ Decode performance has also been improved.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14511 Aux Id: OTP-14343 </p>

+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add service option traffic_counters.</p>
+ <p>
+ To let message-related counters be disabled, which can be
+ a performance improvement in some usecases.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14521</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Allow loopback/any as local addresses in
+ diameter_tcp/sctp.</p>
+ <p>
+ The atoms were implied by documentation, but not handled
+ in code.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14544</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add transport option strict_capx.</p>
+ <p>
+ To allow the RFC 6733 requirement that a transport
+ connection be closed if a message is received before
+ capabilities exchange to be relaxed.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14546</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Be consistent with service/transport configuration.</p>
+ <p>
+ For options for which it's meaningful, defaults values
+ for transport options can now be configured on a service.
+ This was previously the case only for an arbitrary subset
+ of options.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14555</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add service/transport option avp_dictionaries.</p>
+ <p>
+ To provide better support for AVPs that are not defined
+ in the application dictionary: configuring additional
+ dictionaries in an avp_dictionaries tuple allows their
+ AVPs to be encoded/decoded in much the same fashion as
+ application AVPs.</p>
+ <p>
+ The motivation is RFC 7683 Diameter Overload, Indicator
+ Conveyance (DOIC), that defines AVPs intended to be
+ piggybacked onto arbitrary messages. A DOIC dictionary
+ has been included in the installation, in module
+ diameter_gen_doic_rfc7683.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14588</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Decode application AVPs in answers setting the E-bit.</p>
+ <p>
+ AVPs defined in the application of the message being sent
+ were previously not decoded, only those in the common
+ application that defines the answer-message grammar.</p>
