+ Fix population of Failed-AVP.</p>
+ <p>
+ In cases in which diameter populated this AVP, many
+ values were sent instead of one as suggested by RFC 6733.
+ This was partially corrected by OTP-11007.</p>

+ Fix list-valued Vendor-Specific-Application-Id config</p>
+ <p>
+ R16B (specifically, OTP-10760) broke the handling of such
+ configuration, resulting in a function clause error if
+ the list was not of length 3, and faulty interpretation
+ of the list's contents otherwise. Only record-valued
+ configuration was properly interpreted.</p>

+ Allow peer connections to be shared between Erlang nodes
+ for the purpose of sending outgoing requests.</p>
+ <p>
+ A diameter_app(3) pick_peer/4 callback gets a list of
+ remote candidates as argument, allowing a callback on one
+ node to select a transport connection established on
+ another node. The service_opt() share_peers controls the
+ extent to which local connections are shared with remote
+ nodes. The service_opt() use_shared_peers controls the
+ extent to which connections shared from remote nodes are
+ utilized on the local node.</p>

+ <p>
+ Allow listening diameter_{tcp,sctp} transports to be
+ configured with remote addresses.</p>
+ <p>
+ Option 'accept' allows remote addresses to be configured
+ as tuples or regular expressions. Remote addresses are
+ matched against the configured values at connection
+ establishment, any non-matching address causing the
+ connection to be aborted.</p>

+ Detect more transport_opt() configuration errors at
+ diameter:add_transport/2.</p>
+ <p>
+ Many errors would previously not be detected until
+ transport start, diameter:add_transport/2 returning 'ok'
+ but transport connections failing to be established. An
+ error tuple is now returned.</p>

+ Make explicit local address configuration optional in
+ diameter_tcp:start/3.</p>
+ <p>
+ The default address (as determined by gen_tcp) is now
+ used when a local address is not explicitly configured.</p>

+ Don't send default Inband-Security-Id in CER/CEA.</p>

+ Fix broken Vendor-Specific-Application-Id configuration.</p>
+ <p>
+ RFC 6733 changed the definition of this Grouped AVP,
+ changing the arity of Vendor-Id from 1* to 1. A component
+ Vendor-Id can now be either list- or integer-valued in
+ service and transport configuration, allowing it to be
+ used with both RFC 3588 and RFC 6733 dictionaries.</p>
