+ <p>The abstract data type in <c>erl_syntax</c> is
+ augmented with types and function specifications.</p>
+ <p>The module <c>erl_prettypr</c> pretty prints types and
+ function specification, and the output can be parsed.</p>
+ <p>The types of record fields are no longer ignored. As a
+ consequence <c>erl_syntax_lib:analyze_record_field/1</c>
+ returns <c>{Default, Type}</c> instead of <c>Default</c>.
+ The functions <c>analyze_record_attribute</c>,
+ <c>analyze_attribute</c>, <c>analyze_form</c>, and
+ <c>analyze_forms</c> in the <c>erl_syntax_lib</c> module
+ are also affected by this incompatible change.</p>
