mbed TLS ChangeLog (Sorted per branch, date)
= mbed TLS 2.2.1 released 2015-12-xx
Changes
* To avoid dropping an entire DTLS datagram if a single record in a datagram
is invalid, we now only drop the record and look at subsequent records (if
any are presemt) in the same datagram to avoid interoperability issues.
Previously the library was dropping the entire datagram. Where a record is
unexpected, the function mbedtls_ssl_read_record() will now return
MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_UNEXPECTED_RECORD.

* MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_INVALID_RECORD is the header looks bad,
* MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_INVALID_RECORD if the header looks bad,
* MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_UNEXPECTED_RECORD (DTLS only) if sane but unexpected.

* With DTLS, mbedtls_ssl_read_record() will:
* 1. proceed with the record if we return 0
* 2. drop only the current record if we return UNEXPECTED_RECORD
* 3. return CLIENT_RECONNECT if we return that
* 4. drop the whole datagram if we return anything else.
* Point 2 is needed when the peer is resending, and we already received the
* first record from a datagram but are still waiting for the others.
