+	    Introduce <c>os:getenv/2</c> which is similar to
+	    <c>os:getenv/1</c> but returns the passed default value
+	    if the required environment variable is undefined.</p>

+	    It is now possible to paste text in JCL mode (using
+	    Ctrl-Y) that has been copied in the previous shell
+	    session. Also a bug that caused the JCL mode to crash
+	    when pasting text has been fixed.</p>

+	    New BIF: <c>erlang:get_keys/0</c>, lists all keys
+	    associated with the process dictionary. Note:

+	    The internal group to user_drv protocol has been changed
+	    to be synchronous in order to guarantee that output sent
+	    to a process implementing the user_drv protocol is
+	    printed before replying. This protocol is used by the
+	    standard_output device and the ssh application when
+	    acting as a client. </p>
+          <p>
+	    This change changes the previous unlimited buffer when
+	    printing to standard_io and other devices that end up in
+	    user_drv to 1KB.</p>

+	    <p>The <c>inflateInit/2</c> and <c>deflateInit/6</c>
+	    functions now accepts a WindowBits argument equal to 8
+	    and -8.</p>
