+ <section><title>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</title>
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Host name lookups though inet_res, the Erlang DNS
+ resolver, are now done case insensitively according to
+ RFC 4343. Patch by Holger Weiß.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-12836</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ IPv6 distribution handler has been updated to share code
+ with IPv4 so that all features are supported in IPv6 as
+ well. A bug when using an IPv4 address as hostname has
+ been fixed.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-13040</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Caching of host names in the internal DNS resolver
+ inet_res has been made character case insensitive for
+ host names according to RFC 4343.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-13083</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Cooked file mode buffering has been fixed so
+ file:position/2 now works according to Posix on Posix
+ systems i.e. when file:position/2 returns an error the
+ file pointer is unaffected.</p> <p>The Windows system
+ documentation, however, is unclear on this point so the
+ documentation of file:position/2 still does not promise
+ anything.</p> <p>Cooked file mode file:pread/2,3 and
+ file:pwrite/2,3 have been corrected to honor character
+ encoding like the combination of file:position/2 and
+ file:read/2 or file:write/2 already does. This is
+ probably not very useful since the character
+ representation on the caller's side is latin1,
+ period.</p>
