 Features
-   * Add the function mbedtls_ssl_get_alert() which returns the
-     last received fatal error alert type for a more generic
-     MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_FATAL_ALERT_MESSAGE return value from
-     mbedtls_ssl_handshake(), mbedtls_ssl_handshake_step() or
-     mbedtls_ssl_read().
+   * Add the function mbedtls_ssl_get_fatal_alert(), which returns the type of
+     the last received fatal alert. This allows callers to retrieve more
+     detailed information when mbedtls_ssl_handshake(),
+     mbedtls_ssl_handshake_step(), or mbedtls_ssl_read() returns the generic
+     MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_FATAL_ALERT_MESSAGE error code.
