+ <p>It is now also possible to start a standalone FTP client

+ <seealso marker="ftp#service_start">inets service framework</seealso>. </p>
+ <p>The old <c>ftp:open/1</c>, undocumented, function,
+ caused the client to be hooken into the inets service
+ supervision framework. This is <em>no</em> longer the

+ <p>*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Previously, the FTP client attempted to use IPv6,

+ <p>A new option,

+ <p>These functions is documented as working on directories, but

+ commands are specified to operate on a directory or other
+ group of files, or a file.</p>
+ <p>Previously, an attempt was made to check if the listing
+ returned by the server was actually an error message. This
+ was done by changing remote directory (cd) into the
+ (assumed) "directory". This may work if Pathname was actually
+ a directory, but as this is not always the case, this test
+ does not work. Instead, we now return the actual server
+ result and leave the interpretation to the caller. </p>

+ [tftp] If a callback (which performs the file access in
+ the TFTP server) takes too long time (more than the
+ double TFTP timeout), the server will abort the
+ connection and send an error reply to the client. This
+ implies that the server will release resources attached
+ to the connection faster than before. The server simply
+ assumes that the client has given up.</p>
+ <p>
+ [tftp] If the TFTP server receives yet another request
+ from the same client (same host and port) while it
+ already has an active connection to the client, it will
+ simply ignore the new request if the request is equal
+ with the first one (same filename and options). This
+ implies that the (new) client will be served by the
+ already ongoing connection on the server side. By not
+ setting up yet another connection, in parallel with the
+ ongoing one, the server will consumer lesser resources.</p>
+ <p>
+ [tftp] netascii mode is now supported when the
+ client/server has native ascii support (Windows). The new
+ optional parameter native_ascii in the tftp_binary and
+ tftp_file callback modules can be used to override the
+ default behavior.</p>
+ <p>
+ [tftp] Yet another callback module has been added in
+ order to allow customized handling of error, warning and
+ info messages. See the new configuration parameter,
+ logger.</p>
+ <p>
+ [tftp] Yet another configuration parameter, max_retries,
+ has been added in order to control the number of times a
+ packet can be resent. The default is 5.</p>
+ <p>
+ [tftp] tftp:info/1 and tftp:change_config/2 can now be
+ applied to all daemons or all servers in one command

+ [httpd] - Changed validity check on bind_address so that
+ it uses inet:getaddr instead of inet:gethostbyaddr as the
+ former puts a too hard restriction on the bind_address.</p>

+ [httpc] - Internal process now does try-catch and
+ terminates normally in case of HTTP parse errors.
+ Semantical the client works just as before returning an
+ error message to the client, even if the error massage
+ has been enhanced, but there is no supervisor report in
+ the shell of a internal process crashing. (Which was the
+ expected behavior and not a fault.)</p>

+ <p>
+ [httpd, httpc] - Deprecated base64 decode/encode
+ functions have been removed. Inets uses base64 in STDLIB
+ instead.</p>
+ <p>
+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>

+ [httpd] - It is now possible to restrict the length of
+ acceptable URI:s in the HTTP server.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-6572</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ [httpc] - Profiles are now supported i.e. the options
+ available in set_options/1 can be set locally for a
+ certain profile and do not have to affect all
+ HTTP-requests issued in the Erlang node. Calls to the
+ HTTP client API functions not using the profile argument
+ will use the default profile.</p>

+ A new uniform Inets interface provides a flexible way to
+ start/stop Inets services and get information about
+ running services. See inets(3). This also means that
+ inflexibilities in the HTTP server has been removed and
+ more default values has been added.</p>
+ <p>

+ <p>
+ [tftp] Logged errors have been changed to be logged
+ warnings.</p>

+ <p>
+ [httpc] - The client will now return the proper value
+ when receiving a HTTP 204 code instead of hanging.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-6982</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ The Inets application now has to be explicitly started
+ and stopped i.e. it will not automatically be started as
+ a temporary application as it did before. Although a
+ practical feature when testing things in the shell it is
+ not desirable that people take advantage of this and not
+ start the Inets application in a correct way in their
+ products. Added functions to the Inets API that call
+ application:start/stop.</p>
