	    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>

	    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>

	    Own Id: OTP-8858</p>

        <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>

	    The server now verifies the client certificate verify

        </item>
        <item>
          <p>
	    The client hello message now always include ALL available
	    cipher suites (or those specified by the ciphers option).
	    Previous implementation would filter them based on the
	    client certificate key usage extension (such filtering
	    only makes sense for the server certificate).</p>

        <item>
          <p>
	    Revise the public_key API - Cleaned up and documented the
	    public_key API to make it useful for general use, also
	    changed ssl to use the new API.</p>
          <p>
	    Own Id: OTP-8722</p>
        </item>
        <item>
          <p>
	    Added support for inputing certificates and keys directly
	    in DER format these options will override the pem-file
	    options if specified.</p>

	    Own Id: OTP-8723</p>
        </item>
        <item>
          <p>
	    To gain interoperability ssl will not check for padding
	    errors when using TLS 1.0. It is first in TLS 1.1 that
	    checking the padding is an requirement.</p>
          <p>
	    Own Id: OTP-8740</p>
        </item>
        <item>
          <p>
	    Changed the semantics of the verify_fun option in the
	    ssl-application so that it takes care of both application
	    handling of path validation errors and verification of
	    application specific extensions. This means that it is
	    now possible for the server application in verify_peer
	    mode to handle path validation errors. This change moved
	    some functionality earlier in ssl to the public_key
	    application.</p>
          <p>
	    Own Id: OTP-8770</p>
        </item>
        <item>
          <p>
	    Added the functionality so that the verification fun will
	    be called when a certificate is considered valid by the
	    path validation to allow access to each certificate in
	    the path to the user application. Also try to verify
	    subject-AltName, if unable to verify it let the
	    application verify it.</p>

            Added missing checks for padding and Mac value. Removed

            New ssl will no longer return esslerrssl to be backwards

            user. format_error/1 has been updated to support new ssl.</p>

            New ssl now supports secure renegotiation as described by
            RFC 5746.</p>

        <item>
          <p>
            Alert handling has been improved to better handle
            unexpected but valid messages and the implementation is
            also changed to avoid timing related issues that could
            cause different error messages depending on network
            latency. Packet handling was sort of broken but would
            mostly work as expected when socket was in binary mode.
            This has now been fixed.</p>

            New ssl now properly handles ssl renegotiation, and
            initiates a renegotiation if ssl/ltls-sequence numbers
            comes close to the max value. However RFC-5746 is not yet
            supported, but will be in an upcoming release.</p>

            When gen_tcp is configured with the {packet,http} option,
            it automatically switches to expect HTTP Headers after a
            HTTP Request/Response line has been received. This update
            fixes ssl to behave in the same way. Thanks to Rory
            Byrne.</p>

            Ssl now correctly verifies the extended_key_usage

            to be calculated wrongly under the circumstances that the

            The new ssl implementation released as a alfa in this

            <p>A new implementation of ssl is released as a alfa
            version in ssl-3.9 it will later replace the old
            implementation in ssl-4.0. The new implementation can be
            accessed by providing the option {ssl_imp, new} to the
            ssl:connect and ssl:listen functions.</p>
            <p>The new implementation is Erlang based and all logic
            is in Erlang and only payload encryption calculations are
            done in C via the crypto application. The main reason for
            making a new implementation is that the old solution was
            very crippled as the control of the ssl-socket was deep
            down in openssl making it hard if not impossible to
            support all inet options, ipv6 and upgrade of a tcp
            connection to a ssl connection. The alfa version has a
            few limitations that will be removed before the ssl-4.0
            release. Main differences and limitations in the alfa are
            listed below.</p>

          <p>A process reading only a portion of a sufficiently large
            amount of data from an accepted socket, and then quering
            the ssl library (e.g. ssl:getpeername()), would cause a

          <p>Because fopen() on Solaris 8 can't handle file
            descriptor numbers above 255, reading of certificate
            files would fail if all file descriptors below 256 were
            in use (typically, if many connections were open). This
            problem has been worked around.</p>
          <p>The ssl application's port program used to use
            select(), which meant that it could not handle more than
            FD_SETSIZE file descriptors (usually 1024). To eliminate
            that limitation, poll() is now used on all platforms that
            support it.</p>
          <p>Solaris/Sparc, 64-bit emulator: The SO_REUSEADDR
            option was not set for listen sockets, which essentially
            made the ssl application unusable. Corrected.</p>
          <p>The default listen queue size for ssl port program was
            changed to 128 (from 5).</p>
