	    The RSA SHA1 sign/verify variants are disabled by
	    default. That is, ssh-rsa is disabled by default as well
	    as the SHA1 sign/verify with RSA keys from id_rsa and
	    ssh_host_rsa_key. All SHA2 sign/verify are enabled by
	    default.</p>
          <p>
	    The reason is that SHA1 is now considered easy to break.</p>
          <p>

	    Fixed problems in the ssh cli/shell handling. Most
	    important are:</p>
          <p>
	    1) the ssh:shell function did sometimes cause the input
	    to be echoed twice,</p>
          <p>
	    2) the ssh:shell function didn't transfer the LANG and
	    LC_ALL shell variables to the connected server which
	    sometimes made Unicode handling erroneous,</p>
          <p>
	    3) Unicode was not always transferred correctly to and
	    from the peer.</p>

	    TCP/IP port forwarding, a.k.a tunneling a.k.a
	    tcp-forward/direct-tcp is implemented. In the OpenSSH
	    client, this corresponds to the options -L and -R.</p>
          <p>
	    The client or server listens to a specified socket, and
	    when something connects to it with TCP/IP, that
	    connection is forwarded in an encrypted tunnel to the
	    peer. The peer then connects to a predefined IP/port pair
	    and then acts as a proxy.</p>

	    If an OTP SSH server was serving an "exec" request and
	    the executed code used Erlang <c>standard_io</c> for
	    input/output, the I/O was erroneously handled by the
	    *server's* group leader, so the I/O turned up in the the
	    server's Erlang shell (if any). The user at the client
	    side did therefore not see that I/O.</p>
          <p>
	    This is corrected now, so the client - for example the
	    ssh OS shell command - handles the I/O. The user could
	    send input to the server side exec handling code by
	    writing on the terminal, and server side output from for
	    example io:format is presented on the terminal - not only
	    the functional result.</p>
          <p>
	    NOTE 1: Servers executing exec requests with the old,
	    undocumented ways of specifying the custom exec handler
	    is not changed. Changed are only the two cases where the
	    server's 'exec' option either:<br/> 1) is not specified
	    (i.e. using the default shell) or, <br/> 2) it has the
	    <c>{direct, fun(...) -&gt; ... end}</c> value format.</p>
          <p>
	    NOTE 2: Previously an end-of-line marker was appended on
	    the result and error reports at the client side. They are
	    removed now and the error reports are slightly enhanced.</p>
          <p>
	    TECHNICAL DETAILS: The server's device
	    <c>standard_input</c> receives data events from the exec
	    request's channel, and the device <c>standard_output</c>
	    is sending its data by data events to the client on that
	    channel. The result is that <c>standard_io</c> is now
	    performed by the client's group leader.</p>

	    Modernization of key exchange algorithms. See
	    draft-ietf-curdle-ssh-kex-sha2 for a discussion.</p>
          <p>
	    Removed an outdated weak algorithm and added stronger
	    replacements to keep interoperability with other modern
	    ssh clients and servers. The default ordering of the
	    algorithms is also adjusted.</p>
          <p>
	    Retired: The nowadays unsecure key-exchange
	    <c>diffie-hellman-group1-sha1</c> is not enabled by
	    default, but can be enabled with the option
	    <c>preferred-algorithms</c>.</p>
          <p>
	    Added: The new stronger key-exchange
	    <c>diffie-hellman-group16-sha512</c>,
	    <c>diffie-hellman-group18-sha512</c> and
	    <c>diffie-hellman-group14-sha256</c> are added and
	    enabled by default.</p>
          <p>
	    The questionable [RFC 6194] sha1-based algorithms
	    <c>diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1</c> and
	    <c>diffie-hellman-group14-sha1</c> are however still kept
	    enabled by default for compatibility with ancient clients
	    and servers that lack modern key-exchange alternatives.
	    When the draft-ietf-curdle-ssh-kex-sha2 becomes an rfc,
	    those sha1-based algorithms and
	    <c>diffie-hellman-group1-sha1</c> will be deprecated by
	    IETF. They might then be removed from the default list in
	    Erlang/OTP.</p>

	    The SSH application is refactored regarding daemon
	    starting. The resolution of contradicting <c>Host</c>
	    argument and <c>ip</c> option were not described. There
	    were also strange corner cases when the <c>'any'</c>
	    value was used in <c>Host</c> argument or <c>ip</c>
	    option. This is (hopefully) resolved now, but it may
	    cause incompatibilities for code using both <c>Host</c>
	    and the <c>ip</c> option. The value 'loopback' has been
	    added for a correct way of naming those addresses.</p>

	    The <c>ssh_connection_handler</c> module in SSH is

          <p>
	    The module can be used as an example of a
	    <c>gen_statem</c> callback module but with a warning:
	    This commit of ssh is just a straightforward port from
	    gen_fsm to gen_statem with some code cleaning. Since the
	    state machine and the state callbacks are almost
	    unchanged the ssh module does not demonstrate the full
	    potential of the new behaviour.</p>
          <p>
	    The "new" state machine uses compound states. The ssh
	    server and client state machines are quite similar but
	    differences exist. With <c>gen_fsm</c> there were flags
	    in the user data which in fact implemented "substates".
	    Now with <c>gen_statem</c> those are made explicit in the
	    state names, eg. the state <c>userauth</c> and the binary
	    <c>role</c>-flag becomes the two state names
	    <c>{userauth, server}</c> and <c>{userauth, client}</c>.</p>

          <p>

	    received if a connection has keep_alive and the peer is

	    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>

	    Changed ssh implementation to use the public_key
	    application for all public key handling. This is also a
	    first step for enabling a callback API for supplying
	    public keys and handling keys protected with password
	    phrases. </p>
          <p>
	    Additionally the test suites where improved so that they
	    do not copy the users keys to test server directories as
	    this is a security liability. Also ipv6 and file access
	    issues found in the process has been fixed.</p>

            The erlang ssh server has presented itself incorrectly,
            using the special version ssh-1.99, although it never has
            supported versions below 2.0. Since ssh-1.1 client
            versions below 2.0 are correctly rejected instead of
            letting the server crash later on. Alas the problem with
            the presentation string was not discovered until after
            ssh.1.1 was released. Now the server will present itself
            as ssh-2.0.</p>

            connection concept ssh_sftp:connect/ [1,2,3] is

            ssh_sftp:stop_channel/1 and to stop the ssh connection
            ssh:close/ 1 should be called.</p>

	A flaw in the implementation of the supervision tree
	caused the ssh daemon to close the connections to all
	currently logged in users if one user logged out. Another
	problem related to the supervision tree caused the closing
	down of clients to leak processes i.e. all processes was
      not shutdown correctly.</p>

	Ssh incorrectly sent the local id instead of the remote
	id of a channel to the peer. For simpler cases these ids
	often happen to have the same value. One case when they
	do not is when the client sends an exec command two times
	in a raw on the same ssh connection (different channels
	of course as the channel will be closed when the exec
      command has been evaluated) .</p>

	New API module ssh_channel has been added. This is a
	behaviour to facilitate the implementation of ssh clients
	and plug in subsystems to the ssh daemon. Note that this
	slightly changes the options to the API function
	ssh:daemon/[1,2,3] deprecating all no longer documented
	options. Note that the new API enforces the "logical way"
	of using the old API i.e. making the subsystem process
	part of the ssh applications supervisor tree, so missuses
      of the old API are not compatible with the new API.</p>
