+	    The documentation of string:tokens/2 now explicitly
+	    specifies that adjacent separator characters do not give
+	    any empty strings in the resulting list of tokens.</p>

+	    Fix edlin to correctly save text killed with ctrl-u.
+	    Prior to this fix, entering text into the Erlang shell
+	    and then killing it with ctrl-u followed by yanking it
+	    back with ctrl-y would result in the yanked text being
+	    the reverse of the original killed text.</p>

+	    If a callback function was terminated with exit/1, there
+	    would be no stack trace in the ERROR REPORT produced by
+	    gen_server. This has been corrected.</p>
+          <p>
+	    To keep the backwards compatibility, the actual exit
+	    reason for the process is not changed.</p>

+	    Supports tar file creation on other media than file
+	    systems mounted on the local machine.</p>
+          <p>
+	    The <c>erl_tar</c> api is extended with
+	    <c>erl_tar:init/3</c> that enables usage of user provided
+	    media storage routines. A ssh-specific set of such
+	    routines is hidden in the new function
+	    <c>ssh_sftp:open_tar/3</c> to simplify creating a tar
+	    archive on a remote ssh server.</p>
+          <p>
+	    A chunked file reading option is added to
+	    <c>erl_tar:add/3,4</c> to save memory on e.g small
+	    embedded systems. The size of the slices read from a file
+	    in that case can be specified.</p>

+	    I/O requests are optimized for long message queues in the
