- Update to 20.3.8.6:
 * inets: Change status code for no mod found to handle request
   to 501
- Update to 20.3.8.5.
- Changes for 20.3.8.5:
 * erts: Fixed a bug causing some Erlang references to be
   inconsistently ordered. This could for example cause failure
   to look up certain elements with references as keys in search
   data structures. This bug was introduced in R13B02. Thanks to
   Simon Cornish for finding the bug and supplying a fix.
 * compiler: Fixed an issue where files compiled with the
   +deterministic option differed if they were compiled in a
   different directory but were otherwise identical.
 * crypto: Fixed a node crash in crypto:compute_key(ecdh, ...)
   when passing a wrongly typed Others argument.
 * erts: Fixed a bug which caused an emulator crash when
   enif_send() was called by a NIF that executed on a dirty
   scheduler. The bug was either triggered when the NIF called
   enif_send() without a message environment, or when the process
   executing the NIF was send traced.
 * erts: Fixed a bug causing some Erlang references to be
   inconsistently ordered. This could for example cause failure
   to look up certain elements with references as keys in search
   data structures. This bug was introduced in R13B02. Thanks to
   Simon Cornish for finding the bug and supplying a fix.
 * mnesia: When master node is set do not force a load from
   ram_copies replica when there are no available disc_copies,
   since that would load an empty table. Wait until a disk
   replica is available or until user explicitly force_loads the
   table.
 * mnesia: Allow to add replicas even if all other replicas are
   down when the other replicase are not stored on disk.
 * ssl: Correct handling of empty server SNI extension
 * ssl: Correct cipher suite handling for ECDHE_*, the incorrect
   handling could cause an incorrrect suite to be selected and
   most likly fail the handshake.
- Changes for 20.3.8.4:
 * asn1: A bug in ASN.1 BER decoding has been fixed. When
   decoding a recursively enclosed term the length was not
   propagated to that term decoding, so if the length of the
   enclosed term was longer than the enclosing that error was not
   dectected. A hard coded C stack limitation for decoding
   recursive ASN.1 terms has been introduced. This is currently
   set to 8 kWords giving a nesting depth of about 1000 levels.
   Deeper terms can not be decoded, which should not be much of a
   real world limitation.
- Changes for 20.3.8.3:
 * erts: Fixed a race condition in the inet driver that could
   cause receive to hang when the emulator was compiled with gcc8.
 * erts: Fix bug in generation of erl_crash.dump, which could
   cause VM to crash. Bug exist since erts-9.2 (OTP-20.2).
 * ic: Fixed potential buffer overflow bugs in
   oe_ei_encode_long/ulong/longlong/ulonglong functions on 64-bit
   architectures. These functions expect 32 bit integers as the
   IDL type "long" is defined as 32 bits. But there is nothing
   preventing user code from "breaking" the interface and pass
   larger values on 64-bit architectures where the C type "long"
   is 64 bits.
 * inets: Enhance error handling, that is mod_get will return 403
   if a path is a directory and not a file.
 * kernel: Non semantic change in dist_util.erl to silence
   dialyzer warning.
 * ssl: Improve cipher suite handling correcting ECC and TLS-1.2
   requierments. Backport of solution for ERL-641
 * ssl: Option keyfile defaults to certfile and should be trumped
   with key. This failed for engine keys.
- Changes for 20.3.8.2:
 * erl_interface: Make ei_connect and friends also accept state
   ok_simultaneous during handshake, which means the other node
   has initiated a connection setup that will be cancelled in
   favor of this connection.
 * erts: Fixed a rare bug that could cause processes to be
   scheduled after they had been freed.
 * ic: Fixed bug in ic causing potential buffer overrun in
   funtion oe_ei_encode_atom. Bug exists since ic-4.4.4
   (OTP-20.3.4).
 * kernel: Fix some potential buggy behavior in how ticks are
   sent on inter node distribution connections. Tick is now sent
   to c-node even if there are unsent buffered data, as c-nodes
   need ticks in order to send reply ticks. The amount of sent
   data was also calculated wrongly when ticks were suppressed
   due to unsent buffered data.
- Changes for 20.3.8.1:
 * inets: Options added for setting low-level properties on the
   underlying TCP connections. The options are: sock_ctrl,
   sock_data_act and sock_data_pass. See the manual for details.
 * ssh: SFTP clients reported the error reason "" if a non-OTP
   sftp server was killed during a long file transmission. Now
   the signal name (for example "KILL") will be the error reason
   if the server's reason is empty. The documentation also lacked
   type information about this class of errors.
 * ssh: Fix ssh_sftp decode error for sftp protocol version 4
 * syntax_tools: Fix a bug regarding reverting map types.
- Changes for 20.3.8:
 * erts: Fixed bug in ets that could cause VM crash if process A
   terminates after fixating a table and process B deletes the
   table at "the same time". The table fixation could be done
   with ets:safe_fixtable or if process A terminates in the
   middle of a long running select or match call.
 * snmp: The Snmp MIB compiler now allows using a
   TEXTUAL-CONVENTION type before defining it.
- Changes for 20.3.7:
 * erl_docgen: Update makefile so db_funcs.xsl is a part of the
   installed application.
 * erts: Fixed bug in enif_binary_to_term which could cause
   memory corruption for immediate terms (atoms, small integers,
   pids, ports, empty lists).
 * erts: Fixed bug in erlang:system_profile/2 that could cause
   superfluous {profile,_,active,_,_} messages for terminating
   processes.
 * inets: The option max_headers operated on the individual
   header length instead of the total length of all headers. Also
   headers with empty keys are now discarded.
- Changes for 20.3.6:
 * crypto: If OPENSSL_NO_EC was set, the compilation of the
   crypto nifs failed.
 * crypto: C-compile errors for LibreSSL 2.7.0 - 2.7.2 fixed
 * ssh: Host key hash erroneously calculated for clients
   following draft-00 of RFC 4419, for example PuTTY
 * ssh: Renegotiation could fail in some states
- Changes for 20.3.5:
 * erts: Fixed a crash in heart:get_cmd/0 when the stored command
   was too long.
 * ssl: Proper handling of clients that choose to send an empty
   answer to a certificate request.
- Changes for 20.3.4:
 * erl_interface: Fix bug in ei_connect functions that may cause
   failure due to insufficient buffer space for gethostbyname_r.
 * erl_interface, ic: Optimize encoding/decoding for pure 7-bit
   ascii atoms.
 * inets: Fix broken options handling in httpc (ERL-441).
 * ssh: An ssh_sftp server (running version 6) could fail if it
   is told to remove a file which in fact is a directory.
 * ssh: Fix rare spurios shutdowns of ssh servers when receiveing
   {'EXIT',_,normal} messages.
- Changes for 20.3.3:
 * sasl: When upgrading with instruction 'restart_new_emulator',
   the generated temporary boot file used 'kernelProcess'
   statements from the old release instead of the new release.
   This is now corrected.
