+ If sys.config existed, but was not readable or parseable,
+ this would not be detected until after the upgrade and at
+ the next node restart. The possibility for this to happen
+ is now reduced by adding a check to systools:make_tar
+ which fails the creation of the tar file if sys.config or
+ relup does not have reasonable contents. Note that there
+ are no detailed checks, only parsing and erlang term

+ systools:make_script would allow {kernel,Vsn,load} in the
+ .rel file, causing a .boot file which only loaded kernel
+ and did not start it. This has been corrected. Only start
+ type 'permanent', which is the default, is now allowed

+ Applications that are listed in

+ got the reverse order of how they were listed in the .app
+ file. This is corrected so they are now sorted
+ (internally between each other) in the same order as they
+ are listed in the .rel file (i.e. the order they are
+ listed in the .app file does no longer matter).</p>

+ Reltool would sometimes generate a .app file containing
+ <c>{start_phases,undefined}</c>, which would cause an
+ exception in systools at parse time. This has been
+ corrected so reltool now omits the <c>start_phases</c>
+ entry if the value is <c>undefined</c>. (Thanks to Juan
+ Jose Comellas)</p>
