+ The undocumented function inet:ifget/2 has been improved
+ to return interface hardware address (MAC) on platforms
+ supporting getaddrinfo() (such as BSD unixes). Note it
+ still does not work on all platforms for example not
+ Windows nor Solaris, so the function is still
+ undocumented.</p>
+ <p>
+ Buffer overflow and field init bugs for inet:ifget/2 and
+ inet:getservbyname/2 has also been fixed.</p>

+ As a usability improvement the 'inet6' option to
+ functions gen_tcp:listen/2, gen_tcp:connect/3-4,
+ gen_udp:open/2 and gen_sctp:open/1-2 is now implicit if
+ the address argument or the 'ip' option contain an IPv6
+ address (8-tuple).</p>

+ The kernel DNS resolver was leaking one or two ports if
