               The chipers aes_cfb8 and aes_cfb128 are now using the
               EVP interface. The supported key lengths are 128, 192
               and 256 bits.

               The runtime system disconnected a connection if it
               received an exit/2 signal where the recipient was a
               process on an old incarnation of the current node. That
               is, the receiving node had the same node name, but
               another "creation" number. The signal will now just be
               dropped since the receiving process no longer exists.


  OTP-16058    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): PR-2382

               Fix a bug in binary_to_term that would crash the
               emulator if a term larger than 16GB was to be decoded.

               When communicating with a simultaneously exiting port
               via the erlang:port_*() BIFs one could sometimes get
               stray {Ref, What} messages. Where Ref was a reference
               and What usually were the atom badarg.

               [manager] The callbacks where executed in a (new)
               'temporary' process, that executed the callback call
               and then exited. This has now been made configurable so
               that is also possible to specify a 'permanent' callback
               proxy process. All callback calls will then be executed
               in this (permanent) process (in sequence).
