+ Ssh process structure was redesigned to better map to
+ what is truly parallel this has solved a lot of strange
+ timing issues that sometimes would occur, for instance a
+ process leak could happen when a lot of connections where
+ taken up and down in parallel in a short period of time.
+ Also backwards compatible clauses to "original" but never
+ supported features has been removed.</p>

+ Integrate elliptic curve contribution from Andreas
+ Schultz </p>
+ <p>
+ In order to be able to support elliptic curve cipher
+ suites in SSL/TLS, additions to handle elliptic curve
+ infrastructure has been added to public_key and crypto.</p>
+ <p>
+ This also has resulted in a rewrite of the crypto API to
+ gain consistency and remove unnecessary overhead. All OTP
+ applications using crypto has been updated to use the new
+ API.</p>
+ <p>
+ Impact: Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) offers
+ equivalent security with smaller key sizes than other
+ public key algorithms. Smaller key sizes result in
+ savings for power, memory, bandwidth, and computational
+ cost that make ECC especially attractive for constrained
+ environments.</p>
