+	    <p>The old legacy <c>erl_interface</c> library (functions
+	    with prefix <c>erl_</c>) is deprecated as of OTP 22, and
+	    will be removed in OTP 23. This does not apply to the
+	    <c>ei</c> library. Reasonably new <c>gcc</c> compilers
+	    will issue deprecation warnings. In order to disable
+	    these warnings, define the macro
+	    <c>EI_NO_DEPR_WARN</c>.</p>

+        <item>
+	    <p>Added support to receive, decode, encode and send both
+	    bit strings and export funs (<c>fun M:F/A</c>).</p>
+	    <p>New functions <c>ei_decode_bitstring</c> and
+	    <c>ei_encode_bitstring</c> have been added in order to
+	    decode and encode bit strings where number of bits is not
+	    necessary divisible by 8 (a whole number of bytes). The
+	    existing functions <c>ei_decode_fun</c> and
+	    <c>ei_encode_fun</c> can now also handle export funs.</p>
+	    <p>Before this change, bit strings and export funs sent
+	    to an erl_interface c-node were encoded using an
+	    undocumented fallback tuple format. For bit strings
+	    <c>{Binary,BitsInLastByte}</c> and for export funs
+	    <c>{M,F}</c>. Existing c-node implementations expecting
+	    these tuples must be changed to instead use
+	    <c>ei_decode_bitstring</c> and <c>ei_decode_fun</c>. As a
+	    temporary solution you can also build erl_interface with
+	    macro <c>EI_COMPAT=21</c> or call
+	    <c>ei_set_compat_rel(21)</c> to receive the old fallback
+	    tuples.</p>
