+ Declare indentation options as "safe" in erlang-mode for
+ Emacs</p>
+ <p>
+ Emacs has a facility for setting options on a per-file
+ basis based on comments in the source file. By default,
+ all options are considered "unsafe", and the user is
+ queried before the variable is set. This patch declares
+ the variables erlang-indent-level, erlang-indent-guard
+ and erlang-argument-indent to be safe, if the value
+ specified in the source file is valid.</p>
+ <p>
+ Such declarations usually look like this:</p>
+ <p>
+ %% -*- erlang-indent-level: 2 -*-</p>
+ <p>
+ and appear on the first line of the file. (thanks to
+ Magnus Henoch)</p>

+ <p>
+ Cover has been improved to take less memory and allow
+ parallel analysis of cover data. Data collection from
+ nodes is now done in parallel and it is now possible to
+ issue multiple analyse and analyse_to_file requests at
+ the same time. A new function call async_analyse_to_file
+ has also been introduced, see the documentation for more
+ details.</p>
