+ <title>System Events</title>
+ <p>
+ The format of "System Events" as defined in the man page for
+ <seealso marker="stdlib:sys">sys</seealso>
+ has been clarified and cleaned up.
+ Due to this, code that relied on the internal badly
+ documented previous (before this change) format
+ of OTP's "System Events", needs to be changed.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In the wake of this the function
+ <seealso marker="stdlib:sys#get_debug/3">sys:get_debug/3</seealso>
+ that returns data with undocumented and internal format
+ (and therefore is practically useless) has been deprecated,
+ and a new function
+ <seealso marker="stdlib:sys#get_log/1">sys:get_log/1</seealso>
+ has been added,
+ that hopefully does what the deprecated function was intended for.
