+	    of HiPE compiled code:</p> <list> <item>The native code
+	    memory for a purged module was never deallocated.</item>
+	    <item>Wrong functions could in some cases be called after
+	    a module upgrade.</item>

+	    Hipe optional LLVM backend does require LLVM version 3.9
+	    or later as older versions forced strong dependencies on

+	    <p>When an exception such as '<c>throw(HugeTerm)</c>' was
+	    caught, <c>HugeTerm</c> term would be kept in the process
+	    until the next exception occurred, potentially increasing
+	    the heap size for the process. That has been
+	    corrected.</p>

+	    Added <c>erlang:garbage_collect/2</c> that takes an
+	    option list as the last argument that can be used to
+	    control whether a minor or a major garbage collection is
+	    to be done. Doing a minor collection only collects terms
+	    that have recently died, but is cheaper than a mjor
+	    collection.</p>

+	    <p>Add support in the <c>erl_nif</c> API for asynchronous
+	    message notifications when sockets or other file

+	    <p>There are two new guard BIFs '<c>floor/1</c>' and

+	    The previously used purge strategy has been removed. The
+	    optional purge strategy introduced in ERTS version 8.1 is
+	    now the only strategy available.</p>
+          <p>
+	    The new purge strategy is slightly incompatible with the
+	    old strategy. Previously processes holding <c>fun</c>s
+	    that referred to the module being purged either failed a
+	    soft purge, or was killed during a hard purge. The new
+	    strategy completely ignores <c>fun</c>s. If <c>fun</c>s
+	    referring to the code being purged exist, and are used
+	    after a purge, an exception will be raised upon usage.
+	    That is, the behavior will be exactly the same as the
+	    case when a <c>fun</c> is received by a process after the
+	    purge.</p>

+	    Improved ETS lookup/insert/delete speed for large
+	    <c>set</c>, <c>bag</c> and <c>duplicate_bag</c> by a
+	    significant reduction of the hash load factor. This speed
+	    improvement comes at the expense of less than one word
+	    per table entry. Tables with less than 256 entries are
+	    not affected at all.</p>

+	    The NIF library <c>reload</c> feature is not supported
+	    anymore. It has been marked as deprecated since OTP R15B.
+	    This means that you are only allowed to do one successful
+	    call to <c>erlang:load_nif/2</c> for each module
+	    instance. A second call to <c>erlang:load_nif/2</c> will
+	    return <c>{error, {reload, _}}</c> even if the NIF
+	    library imlements the <c>reload</c> callback.</p>
+          <p>
+	    Runtime upgrade of a NIF library is still supported by
+	    using the Erlang module upgrade mechanics with a current
+	    and an old module instance existing at the same time with
+	    their corresponding NIF libraries.</p>

+          <p>
+	    Besides support for dirty NIFs also support for dirty
+	    BIFs and dirty garbage collection have been introduced.
+	    All garbage collections that potentially will take a long

+	    All uses of the magic binary kludge has been replaced by
+	    uses of erlang references.</p>
+          <p>
+	    A magic binary was presented as an empty binary, but
+	    actually referred other data internally in the Erlang VM.
+	    Since they were presented as empty binaries, different
+	    magic binaries compared as equal, and also lost their
+	    internal data when passed out of an erlang node.</p>
+          <p>
+	    The new usage of references has not got any of these
+	    strange semantic issues, and the usage of these
+	    references has been optimized to give the same
+	    performance benefits as well as memory usage benefits as
+	    magic binaries had.</p>
+          <p>
+	    A couple of examples of previous uses of magic binaries
+	    are match specifications and NIF resources.</p>

+	    Upgraded the OTP internal PCRE library from version 8.33
+	    to version 8.40. This library is used for implementation
+	    of the <seealso marker="stdlib:re"><c>re</c></seealso>
+	    regular expressions module.</p>
+          <p>
+	    Besides various bug fixes, the new version allows for
+	    better stack protection. In order to utilize this
+	    feature, the stack size of normal scheduler threads is
+	    now by default set to 128 kilo words on all platforms.
+	    The stack size of normal scheduler threads can be set
+	    upon system start by passing the <seealso
+	    marker="erts:erl#sched_thread_stack_size"><c>+sss</c></seealso>
+	    command line argument to the <seealso

+	    The old latin1 format can still be decoded but is never
+	    generated by <c>term_to_binary</c> or sent on a
+	    distribution channel. The new utf8 format for atoms was
+	    introduced in OTP R16. An OTP 20 node can therefore not

+	    Various improvements of timer management internally in
+	    the VM. These improvements both reduced memory
+	    consumption of timer wheels as well as reduce the amount
