    <section><title>Improvements and New Features</title>
      <list>
        <item>
	    <p>Variables are now now allowed in '<c>fun M:F/A</c>' as
	    suggested by Richard O'Keefe in EEP-23.</p>
	    <p>The representation of '<c>fun M:F/A</c>' in the
	    abstract format has been changed in an incompatible way.
	    Tools that directly read or manipulate the abstract
	    format (such as parse transforms) may need to be updated.
	    The compiler can handle both the new and the old format
	    (i.e. extracting the abstract format from a pre-R15 BEAM
	    file and compiling it using compile:forms/1,2 will work).
	    The <c>syntax_tools</c> application can also handle both
	    formats.</p>
          <p>
	    *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>

    <section><title>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</title>
      <list>
        <item>
	    <p> In a file containing declarations and comments
	    without any empty lines between them, the
	    <c>recomment_forms()</c> function would associate a
	    multi-line comment with the declaration above it rather
	    than the one following it. (Thanks to Richard Carlsson
	    and Kostis Sagonas.) </p>

        <item>
	    <p>The documentation is now possible to build in an open
	    source environment after a number of bugs are fixed and
	    some features are added in the documentation build
	    process. </p>
	    <p>- The arity calculation is updated.</p>
	    <p>- The module prefix used in the function names for
	    bif's are removed in the generated links so the links
	    will look like
	    "http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2"
	    instead of
	    "http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2".</p>
	    <p>- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html
	    documentation when a new page is loaded.</p>
	    <p>- A number of corrections in the generation of man
	    pages (thanks to Sergei Golovan)</p>
	    <p>- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so
	    OTP's build process can be used for non OTP
	    applications.</p>
