+ The module binary from EEP31 (and EEP9) is implemented.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-8217</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Local and imported functions now override the
+ auto-imported BIFs when the names clash. The pre R14
+ behaviour was that auto-imported BIFs would override
+ local functions. To avoid that old programs change
+ behaviour, the following will generate an error:</p>
+ <list><item><p>Doing a call without explicit module name
+ to a local function having a name clashing with the name
+ of an auto-imported BIF that was present (and
+ auto-imported) before OTP R14A</p></item>
+ <item><p>Explicitly importing a function having a name
+ clashing with the name of an autoimported BIF that was
+ present (and autoimported) before OTP R14A</p></item>
+ <item><p>Using any form of the old compiler directive
+ <c>nowarn_bif_clash</c></p></item> </list> <p>If the BIF
+ was added or auto-imported in OTP R14A or later,
+ overriding it with an import or a local function will
+ only result in a warning,</p> <p>To resolve clashes, you
+ can either use the explicit module name <c>erlang</c> to
+ call the BIF, or you can remove the auto-import of that
+ specific BIF by using the new compiler directive
+ <c>-compile({no_auto_import,[F/A]}).</c>, which makes all
+ calls to the local or imported function without explicit
+ module name pass without warnings or errors.</p> <p>The
+ change makes it possible to add auto-imported BIFs
+ without breaking or silently changing old code in the
+ future. However some current code ingeniously utilizing
+ the old behaviour or the <c>nowarn_bif_clash</c> compiler
+ directive, might need changing to be accepted by the
+ compiler.</p>

+ <p>The undocumented, unsupport, and deprecated function
+ <c>lists:flat_length/1</c> has been removed.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-8584</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Nested records can now be accessed without
+ parenthesis. See the Reference Manual for examples.
+ (Thanks to YAMASHINA Hio and Tuncer Ayaz.)</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-8597</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>It is now possible to suppress the warning in code
+ such as "<c>list_to_integer(S), ok</c>" by assigning the
+ ignored value "_" like this: "<c>_ = list_to_integer(S),
+ ok</c>".</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-8602</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>receive</c> statements that can only read out a
+ newly created reference are now specially optimized so
+ that it will execute in constant time regardless of the
+ number of messages in the receive queue for the process.
+ That optimization will benefit calls to
+ <c>gen_server:call()</c>. (See <c>gen:do_call/4</c> for
+ an example of a receive statement that will be
+ optimized.)</p>
