+	    In rare circumstance, the compiler could crash when
+	    compiling a case statement. (Thanks to Hakan Mattsson.)</p>

+	    <p>Calling a guard test (such as is_list/1) from the
+	    top-level in a guard, would cause a compiler crash if
+	    there was a local definition with the same name.
+	    Corrected to reject the program with an error
+	    message.</p>

+	    <p>Using <c>get/1</c> in a <c>try</c> block could in some
+	    cases cause an internal compiler error. (Thanks to Eric
+	    Merritt.)</p>

+	    An unexported on_load function would not get run if the
+	    module was compiled with the <c>inline</c> option.

+          <p>
+	    Fixed a discrepancy in compile_info</p>
+          <p>
+	    The BEAM disassembler used the atom 'none' to signify the
+	    absence of a compile_info chunk in a .beam file. This
+	    clashed with the type declaration of the compile_info
+	    field of a #beam_file{} record as containing a list. Now
+	    [] signifies the absence of this chunk. This simplifies
+	    the code and avoids a dialyzer warning.</p>

+	    Fix typo in `compile' doc: unmatched parenthesis (Thanks
+	    to Ricardo Catalinas Jim�nez)</p>

+        <item>
+	    <p>In a <c>try</c>...<c>catch</c> statement that always
+	    returned <c>false</c>, the compiler would remove calls to
+	    BIFs that could not cause an exception (such as
+	    <c>put/2</c>). Example of such code: <c>try put(K, V),
+	    false catch _:_ -&gt; false end.</c></p>
