+ <item>
+ <p> Fix a bug in the translation of forms to types. </p>

+ Own Id: OTP-13520</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Correct mispelling in Dialyzer's acronym definition.

+ <item>
+ <p>Dialyzer no longer crashes when there is an invalid
+ function call such as <c>42(7)</c> in a module being
+ analyzed. The compiler will now warn for invalid function
+ calls such as <c>X = 42, x(7)</c>. (ERL-138. Thanks to
+ Daniel Feltey for reporting this bug.)</p>

+ <section><title>Improvements and New Features</title>
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p> The evaluation of SCCs in <c>dialyzer_typesig</c> is
+ optimized. </p> <p> Maps are used instead of Dicts to
+ further optimize the evalutation. </p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-10349</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p> Since Erlang/OTP R14A, when support for parameterized
+ modules was added, <c>module()</c> has included
+ <c>tuple()</c>, but that part is removed; the type
+ <c>module()</c> is now the same as <c>atom()</c>, as
+ documented in the Reference Manual. </p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-13244</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p> The type specification syntax for Maps is improved:
+ </p> <list> <item> <p> The association type <c>KeyType :=
+ ValueType</c> denotes an association that must be
+ present. </p> </item> <item> <p> The shorthand <c>...</c>
+ stands for the association type <c>any() => any()</c>.
+ </p> </item> </list> <p> An incompatible change is that
+ <c>#{}</c> stands for the empty map. The type
+ <c>map()</c> (a map of any size) can be written as
+ <c>#{...}</c>. </p>
+ <p>
+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>
