+	    Fix issuing with spaces and quoting in the arguments when
+	    using erlang:open_port spawn_executable on windows. The
+	    behavior now mimics how unix works. This change implies a
+	    backwards incompatibility for how spawn_executable works
+	    on windows.</p>

+	    All possibly blocking operations in the fd/spawn and
+	    terminal driver have been converted to non-blocking
+	    operations. Before this fix it was possible for the VM to
+	    be blocked for a long time if the entity consuming
+	    stdout/stderr did not consume it fast enough.</p>

+	    Add missing overhead for offheap binaries created from
+	    external format. This fix can improve the garbage

+	    Ensure hashing of zero is consistent</p>
+	    <p> Erlang treats positive and negative zero as
+	    equal:</p> 
+          <p>
+	    <c>true = 0.0 =:= 0.0/-1</c></p>
+	    <p>However, Erlangs hash functions: hash, phash and
+	    phash2 did not reflect this behaviour. The hash values
+	    produced by the different hash functions would not be
+	    identical for positive and negative zero.</p> <p>This
+	    change ensures that hash value of positive zero is always
+	    produced regardless of the signedness of the zero float,
+	    i.e.,</p>
+          <p>
+	    <c>true = erlang:phash2(0.0) =:=
+	    erlang:phash2(0.0/-1)</c></p>

+	    Ensure NIF term creation disallows illegal floating point
+	    values and too long atoms. Such values will cause a NIF
+	    to throw badarg exception when it returns.</p>

+	    <p>The time functionality of Erlang has been extended.
+	    This both includes a <seealso
+	    marker="time_correction#The_New_Time_API">new
+	    API</seealso> for time, as well as <seealso
+	    marker="time_correction#Time_Warp_Modes">time warp
+	    modes</seealso> which alters the behavior of the system
+	    when system time changes. <em>You are strongly encouraged
+	    to use the new API</em> instead of the old API based on
+	    <seealso
+	    marker="erlang#now/0"><c>erlang:now/0</c></seealso>.
+	    <c>erlang:now/0</c> has been deprecated since it is and
+	    forever will be a scalability bottleneck. For more
+	    information see the <seealso
+	    marker="time_correction">Time and Time
+	    Correction</seealso> chapter of the ERTS User's
+	    Guide.</p>
+	    <p>Besides the API changes and time warp modes a lot of
+	    scalability and performance improvements regarding time
+	    management has been made internally in the runtime
+	    system. Examples of such improvements are scheduler
+	    specific timer wheels, scheduler specific BIF timer
+	    management, parallel retrieval of monotonic time and
+	    system time on systems with primitives that are not
+	    buggy.</p>

+	    Improved usage of <c>gcc</c>'s builtins for atomic memory
+	    access. These are used when no other implementation of

+	    available.</p>
+          <p>
+	    The largest improvement will be seen when compiling with
+	    a <c>gcc</c> with support for the <c>__atomic_*</c>
+	    builtins (using a <c>gcc</c> of at least version 4.7),
+	    but also when only the legacy <c>__sync_*</c> builtins
+	    are available (using a <c>gcc</c> of at least version
+	    4.1) an improvement can be seen.</p>

+	    Use persistent hashmaps for large Maps <p>Maps will use a

+	    will occur when a Map reaches 33 pairs in size but this
+	    limit might change in the future.</p></p>
+	    <p>The most significant impact for the user by this
+	    change is speed, and to a lesser degree memory
+	    consumption and introspection of Maps. Memory consumption
+	    size is probalistic but lesser than <c>gb_trees</c> or
+	    <c>dict</c> for instance. Any other impacts will be
+	    transparent for the user except for the following

+	    Scalability improvement for <seealso
+	    marker="erlang#make_ref/0">erlang:make_ref/0</seealso>,
+	    and other functionality that create references. Each
+	    scheduler now manage its own set of references. By this
+	    no communication at all is needed when creating
+	    references.</p>
+          <p>
+	    Previous implementation generated a strictly
+	    monotonically increasing sequence of references
+	    corresponding to creation time on the runtime system
+	    instance. This is <em>not</em> the case with current
+	    implementation. You can only expect reference to be
+	    unique. The Erlang/OTP documentation has never mentioned
+	    anything else but the uniqueness property, so this change
+	    <em>is</em> fully compatible. The only reason we've
+	    marked this as a potential incompatibility is since an
+	    early draft for an Erlang specification mentions strict
+	    monotonicity as a property.</p>
+          <p>
+	    If you need to create data with a strict monotonicity
+	    property use <seealso

+	    Optimization of timers internally in the VM. This include
+	    process timers (<c>receive ... after</c>), port timers
+	    (<c>driver_set_timer()</c>) as well as BIF timers
+	    (<c>erlang:send_after()</c>/<c>erlang:start_timer()</c>).</p>
+          <p>
+	    Each scheduler thread now has its own lock-free timer
+	    service instead of one locked central service. This
+	    dramatically improves performance of timer management on
+	    systems with a large amount of schedulers and timers.</p>
+          <p>
+	    The timer service internal data structure has also been
+	    optimized to be able to handle more timers than before.
+	    That is, each timer service is by its self able to handle
+	    more timers without dramatic performance loss than the
+	    old centralized timer service.</p>
+          <p>
+	    The API of BIF timers has also been extended. Timeout
+	    values are for example no longer limited to 32-bit
+	    integers. For more information see the documentation of

+          <p>
+	    Previously, the emulator would generate a whole string
+	    with values and call the error_logger passing
+	    <c>"~s~n"</c>. This changes it to a format string
+	    containing <c>~p</c> with the respective values as
+	    arguments.</p>
