** The networking code has been reworked so that it's more
asynchronous than it was (when specifying :nowait t in
`make-network-process'). How asynchronous it is varies based on the
capabilities of the system, but on a typical GNU/Linux system the DNS
resolution, the connection, and (for TLS streams) the TLS negotiation
are all done without blocking the main Emacs thread. To get
asynchronous TLS, the TLS boot parameters have to be passed in (see
the manual for details).
Certain process oriented functions (like `process-datagram-address')
will block until socket setup has been performed. The recommended way
to deal with asynchronous sockets is to avoid interacting with them
until they have changed status to "run". This is most easily done
from a process sentinel.
** It is possible to disable attempted recovery on fatal signals
Two new variables allow to disable attempts to recover from stack
