[erlang-questions] OTP R16B01 has been released

[Loïc Hoguin]

Congratulations!

It seems crypto:sha/1 is now deprecated. I think it's to favor 
crypto:hash/2, but the details are obscure there as the readme only 
talks about a "new API". Can we get more info on what's been deprecated 
and when was crypto:hash/2 or others added?
