+ <c>erl_interface</c>/<c>ei</c> refused to use node names
+ with an alive name (the part of the node name preceding
+ the @ sign) longer than 63 characters and a host name
+ longer than 64 characters. The total amount of characters
+ allowed in a node name (alivename@hostname) was thus
+ limited to 128 characters. These limits applied both to
+ the own node name as well as node names of other nodes.
+ Ordinary Erlang nodes limit the node name length to 256
+ characters, which meant that you could not communicate
+ with certain Erlang nodes due to their node name used.</p>
+ <p>
+ <c>erl_interface</c>/<c>ei</c> now allow the total amount
+ of characters in a node name to be up to 256 characters.
+ These characters may be distributed between alive name
+ and host name in whatever way needed. That is, the
+ maximum amount of characters in the alive name may be 254
+ and the maximum amount of characters in the host name may
+ be 254, but in total the node name must not exceed 256
+ characters.</p>

+ <p>
+ Fixed two bugs in the <c>erl_call</c> program. A missing
+ initialization (introduced in <c>erl_interface-3.11</c>)
+ which either caused a crash or failure to connect to or
+ start a node, and an incorrectly calculated timeout which
+ could cause failure to start an erlang node. These bugs
+ only caused failures on some platforms.</p>

+ Fixed bug in <c>ei_connect_init</c> which could be

+ <c>ei_connect_init</c> called posix interface

+ safe.</p>

+ of otherwise equal content. Example: <c>[a | b]</c> and
+ <c>[a | c]</c> compared equal and <c>{[a], b}</c> and
+ <c>{[a], c}</c> compared equal.</p>
