+ Two bugs in io:format for ~F.~Ps has been corrected. When
+ length(S) >= abs(F) > P, the precision P was incorrectly
+ ignored. When F == P > lenght(S) the result was
+ incorrectly left adjusted. Bug found by Ali Yakout who
+ also provided a fix.</p>

+ Implement the 'MAY' clauses from RFC4648 regarding the
+ pad character to make mime_decode() and
+ mime_decode_to_string() functions more tolerant of badly
+ padded base64. The RFC is quoted below for easy
+ reference.</p>
+ <p>
+ "RFC4648 Section 3.3 with reference to MIME decoding:
+ Furthermore, such specifications MAY ignore the pad
+ character, "=", treating it as non-alphabet data, if it
+ is present before the end of the encoded data. If more
+ than the allowed number of pad characters is found at the
+ end of the string (e.g., a base 64 string terminated with
+ "==="), the excess pad characters MAY also be ignored."</p>

+ Supervisors will no longer save start parameters for
+ temporary processes as they will not be restarted. In the
+ case of simple_one_for_one workers such as ssl-connection
+ processes this will substantial reduce the memory
+ footprint of the supervisor.</p>

+ When running escript it is now possible to add the -n
+ flag and the escript will be compiled using +native.</p>
