+ <p>
+ The Erlang VM now supports Unicode filenames. The feature
+ is turned on by default on systems where Unicode
+ filenames are mandatory (Windows and MacOSX), but can be
+ enabled on other systems with the '+fnu' emulator option.
+ Enabling the Unicode filename feature on systems where it
+ is not default is however considered experimental and not
+ to be used for production. Together with the Unicode file
+ name support, the concept of "raw filenames" is
+ introduced, which means filenames provided without
+ implicit unicode encoding translation. Raw filenames are
+ provided as binaries, not lists. For further information,
+ see stdlib users guide and the chapter about using
+ Unicode in Erlang. Also see the file module manual page.</p>

+ <p>
+ There is now a new function inet:getifaddrs/0 modeled
+ after C library function getifaddrs() on BSD and LInux
+ that reports existing interfaces and their addresses on
+ the host. This replaces the undocumented and unsupported
+ inet:getiflist/0 and inet:ifget/2.</p>
