+ The TLS/SSL protocol version selection for the SSL server
+ has been corrected to follow RFC 5246 Appendix E.1
+ especially in case where the list of supported versions
+ has gaps. Now the server selects the highest protocol
+ version it supports that is not higher than what the
+ client supports.</p>

+ ssl now uses gen_statem instead of gen_fsm to implement

+ OpenSSL has functions to generate short (eight hex
+ digits) hashes of issuers of certificates and CRLs. These
+ hashes are used by the "c_rehash" script to populate
+ directories of CA certificates and CRLs, e.g. in the
+ Apache web server. Add functionality to let an Erlang
+ program find the right CRL for a given certificate in
+ such a directory.</p>

+ Some legacy TLS 1.0 software does not tolerate the 1/n-1
+ content split BEAST mitigation technique. Add a
+ beast_mitigation SSL option (defaulting to
+ one_n_minus_one) to select or disable the BEAST
+ mitigation technique.</p>

+ <p>It is possible to use SSL distribution over IPv6 instead of
+ IPv4. To do this, pass the option <c>-proto_dist inet6_tls</c>
+ instead of <c>-proto_dist inet_tls</c> when starting Erlang,
+ either on the command line or in the <c>ERL_FLAGS</c> environment
+ variable.</p>
+
+ <p>An example command line with this option would look like this:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+$ erl -boot /home/me/ssl/start_ssl -proto_dist inet6_tls
+ -ssl_dist_opt server_certfile "/home/me/ssl/erlserver.pem"
