OTP 20.2

Erlang/OTP 20.2 is the second service release for the 20 major release.
The service release contains mostly bug fixes and characteristics
improvements but also some new features.

Some highlights for 20.2

• crypto, ssl:

  • The crypto API is extended to use private/public keys
    stored in an Engine for sign/verify or encrypt/decrypt
    operations.

• The ssl application provides an API to use this new
  engine concept in TLS.

• ssh:

  • SSH can now fetch the host key from the private keys
    stored in an Engine. See the crypto application for
    details about Engines.

• ssl:

  • A new command line option -ssl_dist_optfile has been
    added to facilitate specifying the many options needed
    when using SSL as the distribution protocol.

  • Improve performance of the new string functionality
    when handling ASCII characters.
