+ Add validation callback for heart</p>
+ <p>
+ The erlang heart process may now have a validation
+ callback installed. The validation callback will be
+ executed, if present, before any heartbeat to heart port
+ program. If the validation fails, or stalls, no heartbeat
+ will be sent and the node will go down.</p>
+ <p>
+ With the option <c>'check_schedulers'</c> heart executes
+ a responsiveness check of the schedulers before a
+ heartbeat is sent to the port program. If the
+ responsiveness check fails, the heartbeat will not be
+ performed (as intended).</p>

+ documentation, however, is unclear on this point so the
+ documentation of file:position/2 still does not promise
+ anything.</p> <p>Cooked file mode file:pread/2,3 and
+ file:pwrite/2,3 have been corrected to honor character
+ encoding like the combination of file:position/2 and
+ file:read/2 or file:write/2 already does. This is
+ probably not very useful since the character
+ representation on the caller's side is latin1,

+ <p>This mechanism is experimental in the sense that it

+ problem it is supposed to solve. In that case, there may
+ be backward incompatible improvements to this
+ mechanism.</p>
