+ A new function, cover:flush(Nodes), is added which will
+ fetch data from remote nodes without stopping cover on
+ those nodes. This is used by test_server and common_test
+ when it is safe to assume that the node will be
+ terminated after the test anyway. The purpose is to avoid
+ processes crashing when re-loading the original beam if
+ the processes is still running old code.</p>
+ <p>
+ Remote nodes will now continue to count code coverage if
+ the connection to the main node is broken. Earlier, a
+ broken connection would cause the cover_server on the
+ remote node to die and thus any still cover compiled
+ modules would cause process crash when trying to insert
+ cover data in ets tables that used to exist on the
+ cover_server. The new functionality also involves
+ synchronization with the main node if the nodes are
+ reconnected.</p>

+ <p>Where necessary a comment stating encoding has been
