+ <p>The <c>beam()</c> type in <c>beam_lib</c> is defined
+ as <c>module() | file:filename() | binary()</c>. The
+ <c>module()</c> is misleading. Giving the module name as
+ an atom will only work if the BEAM file is in a current
+ directory.</p>
+ <p>To avoid confusion, <c>module()</c> has been removed
+ from the type. That means that there will be a Dialyzer
+ warning for code that call <c>beam_lib</c> with an atom
+ as filename, but the calls will still work.</p>

+ <p>When specified, the <c>+{source,Name}</c> option will
+ now override the actual file name in stack traces,
+ instead of only affecting the return value of
+ <c>Mod:module_info()</c>.</p>
+ <p>The <c>+deterministic</c> flag will also affect stack
+ traces now, omitting all path information except the file
+ name, fixing a long-standing issue where deterministic
+ builds required deterministic paths.</p>
