+ <p>
+ Fix highlighting of atoms ending with a dollar sign</p>
+ <p>
+ Like this: 'atom$'. In that example, the last single
+ quote should be recognised as ending the atom. This needs
+ a font-lock workaround similar to the one for strings.

+ <p>
+ Makefiles in erts, hipe and tools have been corrected to
+ enable parallel make, i.e MAKEFLAGS=-jX where X is the
+ parallelity number. As a result of this dependencies were
+ corrected since that is what is needed for parallel make
+ to work.</p>

+ [cover] fix leftover {'DOWN', ..} msg in callers queue</p>
+ <p>
+ After stopping cover with cover:stop() there could still
+ be a {'DOWN',...} leftover message in the calling
+ process's message queue. This unexpected leftover could
+ be eliminated if erlang:demonitor/2 with option flush
+ would be used in certain points</p>

+ Add deps as erlang-flymake include directory.</p>
+ <p>
+ Update erlang-flymake to recognize the "deps" folder as
+ an include directory. This makes erlang-flymake
+ compatible with the rebar dependency management tool's
+ default folder structure, which puts included
+ dependencies in "deps".(Thanks to Kevin Albrecht)</p>

+ <p>Variables are now now allowed in '<c>fun M:F/A</c>' as
+ suggested by Richard O'Keefe in EEP-23.</p>
+ <p>The representation of '<c>fun M:F/A</c>' in the
+ abstract format has been changed in an incompatible way.
+ Tools that directly read or manipulate the abstract
+ format (such as parse transforms) may need to be updated.
+ The compiler can handle both the new and the old format
+ (i.e. extracting the abstract format from a pre-R15 BEAM
+ file and compiling it using compile:forms/1,2 will work).
+ The <c>syntax_tools</c> application can also handle both
+ formats.</p>
+ <p>
+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***</p>

+ Own Id: OTP-9643</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Tuple funs (a two-element tuple with a module name and a
+ function) are now officially deprecated and will be
+ removed in R16. Use '<c>fun M:F/A</c>' instead. To make
+ you aware that your system uses tuple funs, the very
+ first time a tuple fun is applied, a warning will be sent
+ to the error logger.</p>
