<li>
302+
In this release, the TLS library has moved to a whitelisting approach for client-side validation of server-presented
303+
Diffie-Hellman (DH) parameters. In the default configuration, if a ciphersuite using ephemeral DH is selected by the
304+
server, the client will abort the handshake if the proposed DH group is not one of those specified in RFC 3526 or RFC 7919,
305+
or if the DH prime is < 2048 bits. The client therefore no longer offers DH ciphersuites by default.
