+	    Removed the undocumented application environment variable
+	    'raw_files' from the kernel application. This variable
+	    was checked (by call to application:get_env/2) each time
+	    a raw file was to be opened in the file module.</p>

+	    A bug has been fixed when using the netns option to

+	    Introduce new option 'raw' in file_info and link_info
+	    functions. This option allows the caller not to go
+	    through the file server for information about files
+	    guaranteed to be local.</p>
