+ The unicode update of test_server for R16A introduced a
+ few potential errors when logging to files. Sometimes ~tp
+ or ~ts was used for formatting also when writing to files
+ that were not opened with the {encoding,utf8} option. If
+ then the argument contained unicode characters above 255,
+ the file descriptor would crash. This has been corrected
+ by the following modifications: <list> <item> Since the
+ 'unexpected_io' log file is used only when the test case
+ HTML file is not available (e.g. between test cases),
+ this file is now also a HTML file and as other
+ test_server HTML logs it is always UTF-8 encoded </item>
+ <item> Since it is possible to change which information
+ is going to which log file (with
+ test_server_ctrl:set_levels/3), we do not have full
+ control over which information is written to which file.
+ This means that any printout could be written to the
+ 'major' log file (suite.log), which was earlier encoded
+ as latin1. To avoid crashing this file descriptor due to
+ unicode strings, the 'major' log file is now also encoded
+ in UTF-8 (possible incopatibility). </item> <item> The
+ cross_cover.info file is no longer a text file which can
+ be read with file:consult/1, instead it is written as a
+ pure binary file using term_to_binary when writing and
+ binary_to_term when reading. </item> <item> The encoding
+ of the file named 'last_name', which only content is the
+ path to the last run.&lt;timestamp&gt; directory, is now
+ dependent on the file name mode of the VM. If file names
+ are expected to be unicode, then the 'last_name' file is
+ UTF-8 encoded, else it is latin1 encoded. </item> </list></p>
+ <p>
+ Also, ~tp has been changed back to ~p unless it is
+ somehow likely that the argument includes strings. It is
+ not obvious that this is the correct thing to do, but
+ some decission had to be taken...</p>

+ Using the force_stop flag/option to interrupt a test run
+ caused a crash in Common Test. This problem has been
+ solved.</p>
