+ <section><title>Improvements and New Features</title>
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Bug fixes, new features and improvements to gen_statem:</p>
+ <p>
+ A new type init_result/1 has replaced the old
+ init_result/0, so if you used that old type (that was
+ never documented) you have to change your code, which may
+ be regarded as a potential incompatibility.</p>
+ <p>
+ Changing callback modes after code change did not work
+ since the new callback mode was not recorded. This bug
+ has been fixed.</p>
+ <p>
+ The event types state_timeout and {call,From} could not
+ be generated with a {next_event,EventType,EventContent}
+ action since they did not pass the runtime type check.
+ This bug has now been corrected.</p>
+ <p>
+ State entry calls can now be repeated using (new) state
+ callback returns {repeat_state,...},
+ {repeat_state_and_data,_} and repeat_state_and_data.</p>
+ <p>
+ There have been lots of code cleanup in particular
+ regarding timer handling. For example is async
+ cancel_timer now used. Error handling has also been
+ cleaned up.</p>
+ <p>
+ To align with probable future changes to the rest of
+ gen_*, terminate/3 has now got a fallback and
+ code_change/4 is not mandatory.</p>

+ <p><c>filename:safe_relative_path/1</c> to sanitize a
+ relative path has been added.</p>
