Erlang/OTP 18.2 is a service release on the 18 track with mostly bug fixes,
but is does contain a number of new features and characteristics
improvements as well.

Some highlights of the release are:

   - ssl: Add configurable upper limit for session cache.
   - erts: Add function enif_getenv to read OS environment variables in a
   portable way from NIFs.
   - kernel: Add {line_delim, byte()} option to inet:setopts/2 and
   decode_packet/3
   - ssh: The 'ecdsa-sha2-nistp256', 'ecdsa-sha2-nistp384' and
   'ecdsa-sha2-nistp521' signature algorithms for ssh are implemented. See RFC
   5656.
   - ssh: The ssh:daemon option dh_gex_groups is extended to read a user
   provided ssh moduli file with generator-modulus pairs. The file is in
   openssh format.
   - Thanks to 41 different contributors!
