               Related Id(s): GH-8187, PR-8189

               In rare circumstances, an unsafe optimization could
               cause the compiler to generate incorrect code for list
               matching.


 --- Improvements and New Features ---

  OTP-18936    Application(s): compiler

               Fix the compilation server to restart if the
               applications in its lib dir changes inbetween erlc

  OTP-18996    Application(s): crypto
               Related Id(s): PR-8173, PR-8174

               The function crypto:pbkdf2_hmac will no longer block
               the main schedulers. If the iteration count or block
               size parameters are such that the function is likely to
               take a long time to execute, the function will be
               scheduled to run on a dirty CPU scheduler.

  OTP-18940    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): GH-8024

               Fixed a name clash on Solaris that prevented the JIT
               from being built.

  OTP-18971    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): GH-8044

               Fix heap corruption bug that could cause runaway memory
               consumption due to circular offheap list at process
               exit. Other symptoms may also be possible. Bug exists
               since OTP 25.0.


  OTP-18979    Application(s): erts

               Do not clear tracing in old module instance if load
               fails with 'not_purged'.


  OTP-18982    Application(s): erts

               When exceeding the `max_heap_size` limit in a garbage
               collection initiated by some bit syntax operations, the
               process would not always terminate immediately.


  OTP-19006    Application(s): erts

               The code server could be hanging if a module with
               on_load function was loaded at the same time as another
               module was purged using erlang:purge_module directly.


  OTP-19008    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): GH-8119, PR-8201

               A process optimized for parallel signal delivery could
               under some circumstances lose wakeup information. That
               is, the processes was not woken up to take care of the
               signal, so the signal would not be taken care of until
               the process was woken by another signal. Only processes
               configured with message_queue_data set to off_heap
               utilize this optimization.


  OTP-19009    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): PR-8181

               Fix segfault when generating crashdump containing a fun
               places in persistent_term storage.


  OTP-19011    Application(s): erts

               By default the JIT is disabled on Intel Macs, because
               of annoying poups on macOS Sonoma. It is now possible
               to explicitly enable the JIT on Intel Macs. Here is
               how: ./configure --enable-jit

               Related Id(s): GH-8158

               client as it is not needed in that role.


  OTP-18986    Application(s): ssh

               With this change, more secure algorithms are preferred
               by ssh and documentation is updated to reflect that.


  OTP-19002    Application(s): ssh
               Related Id(s): ERIERL-1041

               Related Id(s): GH-7911

               ssl:prf/5, will start working instead of hanging in a
               TLS-1.3 context if called appropriately. Note that the
               implementation has changed and in OTP-27 a more
               adequate API will be documented.


  OTP-18909    Application(s): ssl
               Related Id(s): GH-7968

               Server name verification didn't work if a connection
               was made with IP-address as a string.


  OTP-18919    Application(s): ssl
               Related Id(s): PR-7984

               The fallback after "dh" ssl option was undefined was to
               get "dh" from ssl options again. This is clearly wrong
