+          <p>
+	    Possible to run HiPE without floating point exceptions
+	    (FPE). Useful on platforms that lack reliable FPE. Slower
+	    float operations compared to HiPE with FPE.</p>

+          <p>
+	    HiPE compiler: The possibility to compile and load
+	    selected functions from a module has been removed.</p>
+          <p>
+	    *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>

+        <item>
+          <p>
+	    <c>filename:find_src/1,2</c> will now work on stripped
+	    BEAM files (reported by Per Hedeland). The HiPE compiler
+	    will also work on stripped BEAM files. The BEAM compiler
+	    will no longer include compilation options given in the
+	    source code itself in <c>M:module_info(compile)</c>
+	    (because those options will be applied anyway if the
+	    module is re-compiled).</p>
