+ When compiling from Core Erlang, an 'apply' with a nested
+ apply in the function position would be treated as an
+ invalid call. Corrected. (Thanks to Mikael Pettersson for
+ reporting this bug.)</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14526</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Fixed checking of binary matching in the
+ <c>beam_validator</c> module to ensure that potential
+ compiler bugs are found at compile-time instead as
+ emulator crash at run-time.</p>

+ <item>
+ <p>There could be false warnings for
+ <c>erlang:get_stacktrace/0</c> being used outside of a
+ <c>try</c> block when using multiple <c>catch</c>
+ clauses.</p>
