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.

added to facilitate specifying the many options needed
