Highlights #

SSH:

• Public key methods: ssh-ed25519 and ssh-ed448 added. Requires OpenSSL 1.1.1 or later as cryptolib under the OTP application

SSL:

• ssl now uses active n internally to boost performance. Old active once behaviour can be restored by setting a application variable.

ERTS, Kernel:

• New counters and atomics modules supplies access to highly efficient operations on mutable fixed word sized variables.
• New module persistent_term!. Lookups are in constant time! No copying the terms!
• New pollset made to handle sockets that use {active, true} or {active, N}. Polled by a normal scheduler!
• No more ONESHOT mechanism overhead on fds! Only on Linux and BSD
