+<h3>Improvements and new features</h3>

+<ul>
+ <li>
+ Optionally make it possible to get the undecoded rest along with

+
+<h3>Fixed errors and malfunctions</h3>
+
+<ul>
+
+ <li>An error due to unchecked referenced imported type resulted
+ in missing tag in some table constraint cases. This error is
+ now corrected. Error occured during decode in
+ <c>ber_bin optimized</c> version.

+
+<h3>Fixed errors and malfunctions</h3>
+
+<ul>
+
+ <li>When a referenced value in another module in turn referenced a
+ defined value the compilation crashed. This is due to the new
+ rutines for compilation, that external referencies are resolved
+ during compilation, and not by the order in which modules are
+ compiled. This error is now corrected.

+
+<h3>Fixed errors and malfunctions</h3>
+
+<ul>
+
+ <li>
+ Functionality for parameterized class is added. Parsing failures on
+ WithSyntax spec is corrected.
+ (Own Id: OTP-4893)<p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ The failure due to Parameterized Type when parameter is an object
+ set is corrected.

+ (Aux Id: OTP-4893)
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ Object Identifier values with two components and teh first was a

+ corrected.
+ (Own Id: OTP-4895)<p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ The errorounus comparison of file name and asn1 module name could
+ cause compilation failure. The situation for this failure is rare,
+ it requires that other processes modifies the compiled file during
+ the compilation procedure. It is now fixed.
+ (Own Id: OTP-4944)
+ (Aux Id: seq8429)<p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ Selective decode was ignored when exclusive decode spec in asn1
+ configfile was missing. Selective decode failed when the selected
+ type was the top type. These bugs are now removed.
+ (Own Id: OTP-4953)
+ (Aux Id: seq8436)<p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ The test interface asn1ct:test/1,2,3 and asn1ct:value/2 failed for
+ open type and EXTERNAL. The bug is now removed.
+ (Own Id: OTP-4955)
+ (Aux Id: seq8438)<p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ Two equal functions were generated for two components referencing
+ the same type when they were picked by the action "parts". The bug
+ is now fixed.

+<h3>Fixed errors and malfunctions</h3>
+
+<ul>
+
+ <li>
+ When a component in a SEQUENCE is a CHOICE (or reference to a CHOICE)
+ and the SEQUENCE's component and one of the alternatives in the CHOICE
+ have identical names, an error may occur if one doesn't use the
+ 'optimized' versions of the compiler. In the older versions (<code>ber,
+ ber_bin, per, per_bin</code>) one could optionally apply a value of a
+ component as <code>{ComponentName,Value}</code>, and the generated code
+ chooses the second element of the tuple. However, a value of a CHOICE
+ must be applied as a tuple: <code>{AlternativeName,Value}</code>. Thus,
+ in the rare case described above and if the value to the SEQUENCE's
+ component is not in a tuple notation the
+ <code>{AlternativeName,Value}</code> will be peeled off in the SEQUENCE
+ and the value fed to the CHOICE will only be the <code>Value</code>
+ part of <code>{AlternativeName,Value}</code>, and the encoder crashes.
+ The best way to avoid this is to use the optimized version of the
+ compiler where the unnecessary tuple notation
+ <code>{ComponentName,Value}</code> no longer is allowed. Since it isn't
+ possible to solve this bug in the compiler.<br>

+ Exclusive decode is enabled by a compiler option and a configuration

+ It was an internal failure when permitted alphabet constraint existed

+ Each generated .erl file have now a function info/0 that returns
+ information about the used compiler version and options.<br>
+ (Own Id: OTP-4373)<p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ When compiling an ASN.1 module the compiler generates an Erlang module
+ that is compiled by the Erlang compiler. Earlier it was not possible to
+ add options to the final step, the Erlang compilation. By adding any
+ option that is not recognized as a specific ASN.1 option it will be
+ passed to the final step like: <code>erlc +debug_info
+ Mymodule.asn</code> or
+ <code>asn1ct:compile('Mymodule',[debug_info])</code>.<br>
+ (Own Id: OTP-4491)<p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ Earlier one couldn't multi file compile modules that had different
+ tagdefaul, which now is possible. Equal Type/Value names in different
+ modules are resolved by renaming (concatenate type name and module
+ name): If two types with the same name T exist in module A and module B
+ they will get the new names TA and TB.<br>
+ (Own Id: OTP-4492)<br>
+ (Aux Id: OTP-3983)<p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ BER: Encode/decode of data have been significantly improved. By use of
+ the compiler options <code>ber_bin</code> and <code>optimize</code>,
+ optimized code will be generated and the optimized run-time module will
+ be used.<br>
