+ <p><c>filelib:wildcard("some/relative/path/*.beam",
+ Path)</c> would fail to match any file. That is,
+ filelib:wildcard/2 would not work if the first component
+ of the pattern did not contain any wildcard characters.
+ (A previous attempt to fix the problem in R15B02 seems to
+ have made matters worse.)</p>
+ <p>(Thanks to Samuel Rivas and Tuncer Ayaz.)</p>
+ <p>There is also an incompatible change to the
+ <c>Path</c> argument. It is no longer allowed to be a
+ binary.</p>

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>

+ <p> The new STDLIB application variable
+ <c>shell_strings</c> can be used for determining how the
+ Erlang shell outputs lists of integers. The new function
+ <c>shell:strings/1</c> toggles the value of the variable.
+ </p> <p> The control sequence modifier <c>l</c> can be
+ used for turning off the string recognition of <c>~p</c>
+ and <c>~P</c>. </p>

+ <p> Miscellaneous updates due to Unicode support. </p>

+ <p> Extend <c>~ts</c> to handle binaries with characters
+ coded in ISO-latin-1 </p>

+ The +pc flag to erl can be used to set the range of
+ characters considered printable. This affects how the
+ shell and io:format("~tp",...) functionality does
+ heuristic string detection. More can be read in STDLIB
+ users guide.</p>
