+	    Add a proplist() type</p>
+          <p>
+	    Recently I was adding specs to an API and found that
+	    there is no canonical proplist() type defined. (Thanks to
+	    Ryan Zezeski)</p>

+	    fix supervisors restarting temporary children</p>
+          <p>
+	    In the current implementation of supervisors, temporary
+	    children should never be restarted. However, when a
+	    temporary child is restarted as part of a one_for_all or
+	    rest_for_one strategy where the failing process is not
+	    the temporary child, the supervisor still tries to
+	    restart it.</p>
+          <p>
+	    Because the supervisor doesn't keep some of the MFA
+	    information of temporary children, this causes the
+	    supervisor to hit its restart limit and crash.</p>
+          <p>
+	    This patch fixes the behaviour by inserting a clause in
+	    terminate_children/2-3 (private function) that will omit
+	    temporary children when building a list of killed
+	    processes, to avoid having the supervisor trying to
+	    restart them again.</p>
+          <p>
+	    Only supervisors in need of restarting children used the
+	    list, so the change should be of no impact for the
+	    functions that called terminate_children/2-3 only to kill
+	    all children.</p>
+          <p>
+	    The documentation has been modified to make this
+	    behaviour more explicit. (Thanks to Fred Hebert)</p>
