+	    The dist messages EXIT, EXIT2 and MONITOR_DOWN have been
+	    updated with new versions that send the reason term as
+	    part of the payload of the message instead of as part of
+	    the control message.</p>
+          <p>
+	    The old versions are still present and can be used when
+	    communicating with nodes that don't support the new
+	    versions.</p>
