+ Reduced memory footprint of an ssl connection.</p>
+ <p>
+ Handshake hashes, premaster secret and "public_key_info"
+ does not need to be saved when the connection has been
+ established. The own certificate is no longer duplicated
+ in the state.</p>

+ Correct handling of client certificate verify message
+ When checking the client certificate verify message the
+ server used the wrong algorithm identifier to determine
+ the signing algorithm, causing a function clause error in
+ the public_key application when the key-exchange
+ algorithm and the public key algorithm of the client
+ certificate happen to differ.</p>

+ For testing purposes ssl now also support some anonymous
+ cipher suites when explicitly configured to do so.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-8870</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Sends an error alert instead of crashing if a crypto
+ function for the selected cipher suite fails.</p>

+ <section><title>Improvements and New Features</title>

+ <p>
+ Updated ssl to ignore CA certs that violate the asn1-spec
+ for a certificate, and updated public key asn1 spec to
+ handle inherited DSS-params.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-7884</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Changed ssl implementation to retain backwards
+ compatibility for old option {verify, 0} that shall be
+ equivalent to {verify, verify_none}, also separate the
+ cases unknown ca and selfsigned peer cert, and restored
+ return value of deprecated function
+ public_key:pem_to_der/1.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-8858</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Changed the verify fun so that it differentiate between
+ the peer certificate and CA certificates by using
+ valid_peer or valid as the second argument to the verify
+ fun. It may not always be trivial or even possible to
+ know when the peer certificate is reached otherwise.</p>
