+ <p>
+ Remove generation of atoms in old latin1 external format
+ in the distribution between erlang nodes,
+ <c>erl_interface</c>, and <c>jinterface</c>. The new utf8
+ format for atoms was introduced in OTP R16. An OTP 20
+ node can therefore not connect to nodes older than R16.</p>
+ <p>
+ Atoms that can be encoded using latin1 are still encoded
+ by <c>term_to_binary()</c> using latin1 encoding. Note
+ that all atoms will by default be encoded using utf8 in a
+ future Erlang/OTP release. For more information see the
+ documentation of <seealso
+ marker="erts:erlang#term_to_binary/2"><c>erlang:term_to_binary/2</c></seealso>.</p>
