+ Since Logger was introduced in OTP-21.0, menu choice
+ <em>Log &gt; Toggle Log View</em> in observer would cause
+ a crash unless an <c>error_logger</c> event handler was
+ explicitly installed. This is now corrected.</p>

+ Since persistent_term was introduced, observer would
+ sometimes crash when expanding a term from a process
+ state. This is now corrected.</p>

+ <c>crashdump_viewer</c> would sometimes crash when

+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Since OTP-20.2, <c>crashdump_viewer</c> was very slow
+ when opening a crash dump with many processes. An
+ ets:select per process could be removed, which improved
+ the performance a lot.</p>
+ <p>
+ A bug when parsing heap data in a crashdump caused
+ <c>crashdump_viewer</c> to crash when multiple <c>Yc</c>
+ lines referenced the same reference counted binary. This
+ is now corrected.</p>
