+ If the daemon port listener is restarted, it could
+ potentially fail with <c>eaddrinuse</c> if the timing is
+ unlucky. It will now retry and exponentially back off the
+ listener restart a few times before failing.</p>

+ A channel callback module always got the module name as

+ The option <c>exec</c> has new option values defined to
+ make it much more easy to implement an own <c>exec</c>
+ server.</p>
+ <p>
+ An option called <c>exec</c> for daemons implementing the
+ handling of 'exec' requests has existed a long time but
+ has been undocumented. The old undocumented value - as
+ well as its behavior - is kept for compatibility EXCEPT
+ that error messages are changed and are sent as
+ "stderror" text.</p>

+ The experimental <c>ssh_dbg</c> module is completely
+ re-written. Its purpose is to make tracing and debugging
+ easier on deployed systems.</p>

+ The SSH supervisor structure has been slightly changed.
+ This makes stopping the ssh application considerably
+ faster if there are open connections. This is important
+ in for example restarts.</p>

+ The type specifications in SSH are completly reworked and
+ the following types are renamed:</p>
+ <p>
+ <c>ssh:ssh_connection_ref()</c> is changed to
+ <c>ssh:connection_ref()</c>, </p>
+ <p>
+ <c>ssh:ssh_daemon_ref()</c> is changed to
+ <c>ssh:daemon_ref()</c>,</p>
+ <p>
+ <c>ssh:ssh_channel_id()</c> is changed to
+ <c>ssh:channel_id()</c>.</p>

+ gen_statem timers.</p>

+ Removed the undocumented and unused modules
+ <c>ssh_client_key.erl</c> and <c>ssh_server_key.erl</c>.</p>

+ The Reference Manual pages are partly updated.</p>
+ <p>
+ The ssh page is now generated from specs and types, is
+ restructured and is partly rephrased.</p>
+ <p>
+ The ssh_channel, ssh_connection, ssh_client_key_api,
+ ssh_server_key_api and ssh_sftp pages are updated with
+ links, correct type names and some minor changes.</p>

+ <p>
+ The behaviors <c>ssh_channel</c> and
+ <c>ssh_daemon_channel</c> are renamed to
+ <c>ssh_client_channel</c> and <c>ssh_server_channel</c>
+ respectively.</p>
+ <p>
+ The old modules are kept for compatibility but should
+ preferably be replaced when updating callback modules
+ referring them.</p>
