+ Correct return value of default session callback module</p>
+ <p>
+ This error had the symptom that the client check for
+ unique session would always fail, potentially making the
+ client session table grow a lot and causing long setup
+ times.</p>

+ <p>
+ Add possibility to downgrade an SSL/TLS connection to a
+ tcp connection, and give back the socket control to a
+ user process.</p>
+ <p>
+ This also adds the possibility to specify a timeout to
+ the ssl:close function.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-11397</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add application setting to be able to change fatal alert
+ shutdown timeout, also shorten the default timeout. The
+ fatal alert timeout is the number of milliseconds between
+ sending of a fatal alert and closing the connection.
+ Waiting a little while improves the peers chances to
+ properly receiving the alert so it may shutdown
+ gracefully.</p>
